Custom Rib Cuff — Polyester with Mercerised Finish
We supply rib cuff to garment factories and brands, built in Polyester with mercerised finish for e-commerce and small-batch brands. 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 5000 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, or inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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.

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 azo dye-free declaration 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.
