Custom Hook and Eye — Aluminium with Injection Moulding
We supply hook and eye to garment factories and brands, built in Aluminium with injection moulding for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is profile height, which decides whether it prints through the cloth, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

How we produce it
- Drawing or reference sample review, with size and finish confirmed

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 GRS recycled content claim are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe 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 profile height.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 12 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare GRS recycled content claim and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
