Custom Apparel Bead — Wool Felt with Laser Engraving
We supply apparel bead to garment factories and brands, built in Wool Felt with laser engraving for uniform and corporate 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 3000 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare GB 18401 safety classification with GB/T 29862 fibre labelling so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment
- Childrenswear and schoolwear — tested to the destination's safety standard
- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- 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 EN 71 part 3 for decorative components are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Shanghai or Shenzhen 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.
FAQ
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 7 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 3000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
