Trimming & Notions — Page 1

Trim, trimming and notions suppliers for clothing manufacturers: the first page of the general trim directory, with the category index for the whole components family.

Trim — also sold as trimming or notions — is the collective trade word for the secondary materials of garment making: the elastics, tapes, braids, cords, pads, pocketing and findings that turn cut fabric panels into finished clothes. This first page of the trim directory carries the category index for the components family together with its first run of supplier listings.

If you are sourcing one specific component, the category pages will take you there faster — adhesives, bra components, elastics, webbing, needles and the rest each have a dedicated directory. Pages 2 and 3 of this directory continue the general supplier listings.

02 · BackgroundSpecifying Trim for Production

Trim is specified by function first and appearance second: a waistband elastic is bought on width, stretch and recovery; a braid on fiber, width and colorfastness; a fusible on weight and melt point. Trim buyers also match dye lots to the shell fabric and confirm that decorative trim survives the garment's care instructions — a trim that bleeds or shrinks in the wash fails the whole garment.

QuestionsCommon Questions

What are notions in garment manufacturing?

Notions is the traditional trade term for small sewing supplies and garment components — thread, elastic, tape, fasteners, pads, chalk, needles and similar items a factory or tailor keeps on hand.

How is trim usually sold to factories?

By the roll, spool, cone, gross or piece depending on the item: elastic and webbing by the roll or yard, buttons and snaps by the gross, shoulder pads and bra cups by the pair or dozen. Minimums vary by supplier.

Should trim be wash-tested with the garment?

Yes. Trim is tested sewn into a sample garment through the garment's full care cycle, because shrinkage, bleeding and distortion differences between trim and shell fabric are the most common trim failures.
