What we do
Private Label
Your brand on every garment — labels, tags and packaging produced with the order.
Private label is more than a neck label. We build a complete brand kit for your order: main labels, care labels, size stickers, hang tags, poly bags and cartons — all produced alongside the garments.
Labels, tags and trims
Woven and printed labels, hang tags and size stickers are made to your artwork. Trims are small, but buyers notice them — send your logo and brand colours and we return trim mock-ups for approval before anything is produced.
Packaging that arrives shelf-ready
Branded poly bags and printed cartons are ordered with the garments, so everything lands on the line at the same time. Labels and tags are attached during sewing and finishing, not as an afterthought — no separate trim supplier, no relabelling step on your side.
Build a private-label system, not a bag of trims
Labels, tags, stickers and packaging carry different information at different moments. Planning them as one system keeps the brand consistent and prevents duplicate, missing or conflicting product data.
Main, size and care labels
The main label establishes brand identity, while size and care labels communicate product-specific information. They may be combined or separated depending on design, comfort and market requirements. We confirm finished dimensions, fold type, colours, material, attachment seam and placement so the label works with the garment construction rather than being added after it is complete.
Hang tags and retail information
Hang tags can carry story, price, barcode and product details that do not belong on a permanent sewn label. Artwork should define both sides, hole position, stock, finish, cord and attachment point. Variable data such as SKU, size or price is separated from common artwork so it can be controlled by style and market.
Packaging and carton hierarchy
The individual garment bag protects presentation and carries size or SKU identification. Inner packs and export cartons organise the order for receiving. We map which information belongs at each level, then align stickers, quantities, carton marks and packing lists so the warehouse can identify the product without opening every package.
Prepare accurate label artwork and data
Brand artwork is only one part of label approval. Fibre content, country of origin, care, responsible company information, size and traceability data must match the product and sales market.
Use production-ready files
Vector AI, EPS or PDF files give clean edges and reliable colour separation for woven, printed and embossed components. Include Pantone references, dimensions and safe areas. We return a digital mock-up showing scale, folds and placement before producing a physical sample, and any variable fields are marked so they cannot be mistaken for fixed artwork.
Confirm legal copy by destination
Labelling rules vary by country and product. The brand or importer remains responsible for confirming required fibre names, language, care, origin and business identity. Tell us every intended market before artwork approval so the label format has room for the right information and translations rather than forcing a redesign after bulk materials are ordered.
Create one source of product data
Style number, colour, size, composition, barcode and carton quantity should come from one approved data sheet. We use it to generate or check variable stickers and packing marks. When data changes, the revision is dated and released across labels, packaging and the packing list together.
Choose materials and finishes that suit the garment
A premium trim is one that remains legible, comfortable and consistent through the product life—not simply the most elaborate option. Material, edge treatment and attachment must suit skin contact and care conditions.
Woven or printed labels
Woven labels give durable colour and texture for main branding, while printed satin, nylon or cotton can hold dense care copy and variable information more clearly. Fine logo details may need simplified weaving artwork. We provide a digital proof and physical strike-off so density, colour, edge softness and fold are approved at actual size.
Paper, cord and surface finishing
Hang-tag stock, lamination, varnish, foil, embossing and cord all affect appearance, recyclability, cost and lead time. We recommend restraint where a finish does not add useful brand value. Dark stocks and soft-touch surfaces should be tested for scuffing or colour transfer before they touch light garments in transit.
Protect the garment in packaging
Bag size, venting, adhesive position, suffocation warnings, recycled-content claims and moisture protection depend on the garment and destination. Printed bags require an artwork minimum, while a standard bag with a branded sticker can suit smaller programs. The packed sample confirms fold, label visibility and presentation before bulk packing.
Approve trims before the line needs them
Custom trims often have their own minimums and lead times. They should be developed alongside the garment sample so approval does not become the last blocker before sewing or packing.
Digital proof, strike-off and placement sample
The proof checks content, dimensions and colour callouts. The strike-off checks the real material and manufacturing result. The garment sample then checks attachment and comfort in context. Approval at all three levels prevents a correct label from being sewn in the wrong direction or placed where it irritates the wearer.
Manage trim minimums
A label or printed bag supplier may require more pieces than one garment order. We disclose the production quantity and cost basis, then can hold approved leftovers for an agreed repeat program when practical. Shared brand trims should avoid style-specific information unless the inventory is intended for that style only.
Release final artwork once
Proof versions can look almost identical, so only the signed-off file is released for bulk. We check spelling, dimensions, colour references, folds, barcode numbers and quantities against the approval record. Late changes are assessed for materials already produced and for any knock-on effect on the packing schedule.
Pack for the receiving warehouse
Retail-ready presentation and logistics accuracy have to coexist. A beautiful pack that cannot be counted, scanned or sorted efficiently creates cost after the factory shipment leaves.
Define the assortment
Tell us whether cartons should be solid by style, colour and size or pre-packed in an assortment. Define units per bag, inner pack and carton, plus any carton weight or dimension limit. The packing method is tested on the pre-production sample and reflected in the final packing list.
Use unique product identifiers correctly
Retailers and marketplaces may require a GTIN or another platform identifier for each sellable variation. The brand obtains and owns those numbers; we print the supplied data and can verify basic readability and mapping. A barcode should not be copied between sizes or colours when they are separate trade items.
Final packing control
Before sealing cartons, operators check garment, size label, hang tag, sticker and bag against the style record. Carton marks and quantities are reconciled with the packing list. This final identity check helps prevent a correct garment from becoming an incorrect retail unit because one variable label was mixed.
Frequently asked questions
What private-label items can you produce?
We can coordinate woven and printed labels, size and care labels, hang tags, barcode stickers, branded bags, tissue, cards and export cartons with the garment order.
Can you help with care-label content?
We can format supplied fibre, care, origin and company information and flag obvious conflicts. The brand or importer should confirm the final legal requirements for every sales market before approval.
Do custom labels have a separate minimum?
Usually yes. Trim suppliers often have production minimums that may exceed a small garment order. We quote the trim basis clearly and can discuss using approved surplus on repeat orders.
Can each size and colour have a different barcode?
Yes. Supply the approved mapping between style, colour, size, SKU and GTIN. We generate or print the variable stickers from that controlled file and check them during packing.
Standards & buyer references

Independent references for checking terminology, test methods and market requirements while preparing your order.
External resources are provided for general reference. Your brand or importer should confirm the standards and legal requirements that apply to each product and sales market.
