Key production numbers
Custom trims cover every non-fabric element: woven neck labels, printed size labels, hangtags, zippers, drawcords, buttons, rivets, patches, tissue, stickers and folding cartons. Trims are confirmed against the specification before production, and custom materials can affect MOQ and lead time.
For SHENGDE projects, starting quantities can be discussed from 50 units per style where fabric, colour and decoration requirements allow it. Sample development is typically targeted within 15 days after the specification, materials and artwork are confirmed.
Labels: the brand foundation
Woven neck labels are the most durable and premium option for brand names; printed size labels carry wash and care instructions. Decide label placement, size, thread colour and content before sampling.
Care labels follow destination regulations — wash, iron, dry-clean and composition symbols vary by market. Confirm the care content with your buyer or compliance partner early.
Hangtags and packaging
Hangtags carry pricing, branding and product info at retail. Paper stock, finish, string type and artwork should match the brand identity. Packaging includes poly bags, cartons, tissue, stickers and folding cartons for retail-ready drops.
Retail-ready packaging is a differentiator for private-label brands — folding cartons and branded tissue make the unboxing experience part of the product.
Zippers, buttons and hardware
Zippers come in different sizes, finishes and slider styles; buttons and rivets can be colour-matched or contrast. Hardware finish options include copper, silver, antique and custom directions.
Hardware sourcing can affect both MOQ and lead time when components are made to order. Confirm the hardware direction early so sourcing runs in parallel with sample development.
Drawcords and functional trims
Drawcords on hoodies, joggers and windbreakers can be round, flat, tipped or heat-sealed with custom stops and aglets. Taping, webbing and reflective piping add function and brand detail.
Functional trims should be specified with length, material, colour and end detail so the sample matches production exactly.
Specifying trims in your tech pack
Include a trim BOM: every trim with name, supplier direction, colour code, size and placement. A complete trim page shortens the quotation loop and prevents sample mismatches.
Keep version control on trim changes — updated artwork, colour codes or hardware details should be dated and referenced in the purchase order.
