Custom Apparel Bead — Polyester with Antique Brass Plating
We supply apparel bead to garment factories and brands, built in Polyester with antique brass plating for denim and workwear programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is facet consistency, since uneven facets read as cheap on garment, 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: shade variation within one carton, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment

- 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 REACH nickel-release test for metal findings are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Los Angeles or New York 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 facet consistency.
