Labels Tags And Hardware Specified As One Set
The label, the tag, the patch and the hardware are seen together on one garment, so they should be specified together. Buying them from four suppliers is how a brand ends up with four slightly different versions of its own logo.
Every Stage And What Goes Wrong At It
Each step below names the problem buyers actually hit and what we do about it, rather than describing a workflow in the abstract.
Logo Review
The problem. A logo that works on a website falls apart at 15 millimetres.
How we handle it. We check your mark at the real finished size of each item and tell you what will and will not hold.
Component Planning
The problem. Care, size and brand information spread across too many pieces.
How we handle it. We map what goes on the woven label, the printed label and the hang tag so nothing is duplicated or missing.
Material And Finish
The problem. Trims that irritate, fade or corrode.
How we handle it. Construction, edge finish and plating are chosen for where the item sits and the wash the garment will get.
Sampling
The problem. Colour on screen is not colour on fabric.
How we handle it. Samples of the actual trims let you check tone against your own fabric before bulk.
Production
The problem. Batch variation across a season.
How we handle it. Repeat orders run against the approved sample so later batches match the first.
Delivery
The problem. Trims arriving after the garments are cut.
How we handle it. We confirm a date against the current line situation when the order is placed, rather than quoting one that cannot hold.

The swing ticket that carries the price, the story and the barcode.

Explore →
Ropes And Cords
The handle, the hang cord and the seal tie, matched to the bag and the tag they carry.
Explore →Products Most Often Included
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.
View Product →Custom Button
Buttons are handled more than any other trim on a garment and washed as often as the fabric.
View Product →
Custom Zipper
A zipper is the one trim on a garment that has to keep working mechanically for the product's whole life.
View Product →General Rope
This is the everyday cord: twisted or braided polyester or cotton used as a paper bag handle and as a hang tag cord.
View Product →Sectors That Run This Way
Apparel And Fashion Brands
A clothing brand needs a label, a tag, a hanger, a bag and a mailer before a single garment can be sold.

See The Sector →Garment Labelling And Trims Questions
Can you produce all trims for one garment together?
Yes, and it is the point of doing it this way. Send the garment specification and we will quote the whole trim set.
Our logo is only a JPEG. Is that a problem?
Send what you have. Our design team redraws artwork for production where it is needed and sends it back for approval.
Can you supply care and composition wording?
You supply the wording your market requires and we set it into the artwork. We do not decide the legal content for your market.
Set Up Garment Labelling And Trims
Send what you already use, whether that is artwork, a photograph or a physical sample, and we will map out the components, the minimums and the sampling plan.
