Custom Rib Cuff — Silk with Knitted Structure
We supply rib cuff to garment factories and brands, built in Silk with knitted structure for denim and workwear programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is elastane quality, which sets how long the cuff holds, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, or shade variation within one carton. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment

- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders
Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same elastane quality.
FAQ
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
