Trim Construction
Choose Construction Around the Garment or Apparel
A trim must look right and work with the fabric, seam, opening, and use conditions around it. Review these details with the sample or drawing before choosing a construction or finish.
Useful points to compare
- Zipper type, gauge, length, slider, and end construction
- Button size, shank or hole configuration, and attachment method
- Metal or plastic component geometry and its normal use
- Color, surface finish, branding, and compatibility with the fabric
Final material and process options depend on the product specification and should be confirmed with the supplier.
