In simple words
Who buys it, and where to start
Small clothing brands, print-on-demand sellers, tailors and home sewers abroad buy these trims. They buy from Pakistan because makers accept small orders at low prices.
Good first products
- Custom logo zipper pulls: Small streetwear brands want their own logo pulls, and Lahore makers accept small orders.
- Heat-transfer labels: Print-on-demand brands need tagless neck labels in rolls.
- Bias binding: Home sewers buy it in bundles on Etsy and Amazon, with no special rules.
Be careful with
- Never make labels, pulls or tapes with another brand's logo unless that brand ordered them.
- Plain buttons and zippers are a crowded, low-price market.
- Metal studs for Europe must meet nickel limits, so ask for a test report first.
