Garment Accessories And Packing For Apparel Brands
A clothing brand needs a label, a tag, a hanger, a bag and a mailer before a single garment can be sold. Sourcing those from five suppliers means five artwork checks, five minimums and five chances for a delivery to slip.
What Slows These Buyers Down
- Trim suppliers who each hold a different part of the collection hostage to their own lead time
- Brand marks that drift between the woven label, the hang tag and the bag
- Minimums that force over-ordering on small capsule runs
- Artwork prepared five times in five different formats
What They Actually Need
- One contact who can quote every accessory on the line sheet
- Consistent brand colour and finish across trims and packing
- Physical samples before committing a season to bulk
- A supplier who will work from a photo or a sample, not just a spec sheet

Woven Label
A woven label carries your brand name in thread rather than ink, so it survives the life of the garment rather than the first few washes.
View Product →
Printed Label
A printed label carries what a woven one cannot: small care symbols, fibre percentages, multi-language wording and long legal text.
View Product →Hang Tag
The hang tag is the only printed piece a customer reads while holding your garment.
View Product →Leather Patch
A leather patch gives a brand mark depth that print cannot.
