Private-Label Buttons and Trims: What to Lock on the Sample Before Bulk from 50

Cloth and measurements get the attention; buttons and small trims cause quiet bulk disputes. Lock them on the sealed sample before you open bulk from 50.

Trim checklist to lock

Same table as a list

1. Front buttons — photo, size, material note.

2. Sleeve buttons — count; working vs non-working.

3. Trouser fastenings — photo or spec.

4. Thread colour — match or contrast.

5. Spare-button card — include or not.

6. Hanger loop and label set — artwork + placement.

For label placement detail see related sealed-sample practice on our sample policy. Outer pocket types are covered separately on the flap/jetted/patch citation and posts — this page is hardware and thread.

Suggested sequence

1. Approve style and cloth on MTM from 1 or a programme sample.

2. Approve the trim kit against that sample.

3. Seal sample + trim card.

4. Open bulk from 50 against the seal.

FAQ

Can we change buttons after bulk starts? Ask in writing; late trim changes may affect clock and cost — confirmed per order.

Do you publish trim prices? No. Confirmed in writing on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.

Is this only for bulk? MTM from 1 also needs trim notes if you care about the look.
