Compliance Testing And Retail Ready Packing
Two things decide whether a trim reaches a shelf: whether the material passes the tests your market applies, and whether the pack is ready to hang. Both are specified before production, not discovered at inspection.
How This Works In Practice
- 1
Market Requirements
Tell us where the goods are sold. That determines whether nickel free, lead free or AZO free material has to be specified.
Requirements differ by market, and the trim cannot be changed after it is made.
- 2
Material Specification
Nickel free and lead and AZO free products can be made. The right base metal, plating and dye are chosen at this stage.
Compliance is decided by what goes into the piece.
- 3
Testing
Quality is ensured by SGS. Tell us what your buyer requires in the way of a report and it is arranged with the order rather than afterwards.
A report requested after shipment delays the shipment.
- 4
Standard Packing
Standard packing is an OPP bag with an outer paper card, which protects the piece and keeps a multipack tidy.
Loose trims in a bulk bag cost your team a repacking operation.
- 5
Customised Packing
Your own logo and hangtag can be added so the item is retail ready on arrival.
A hanging ready pack is what a wholesale buyer is actually purchasing.
- 6
Carton And Route
Cartoning is chosen for the route, with attention to pieces that crush, such as corsages and eyelash lace.
A trim that arrives flattened has failed regardless of how it was made.
