As your branding partner, we’ll work with you to design, develop and deliver your products through a global infrastructure. We’re here to help you reach and exceed your sustainability goals.
This means a reliable and responsible supply chain, consistent and impactful branding, high-quality materials and inventive custom solutions — all with the reduced carbon footprint you’d expect working with a trusted nominated supplier.
From finding the right material to finishing touches, you can count on our open, honest and transparent expertise with a dedicated account manager to bring your ideas to life from design to delivery. This also saves additional time you’d usually spend on research, negotiation and sourcing.
With access to a worldwide network of trims and packaging specialists, our in-house graphic design and innovation teams humbly approach every challenge, willing to listen, learn and improve. We can even combine with your team to create branding with innovative materials that truly honour your brand’s ethos and product quality.
As a nominated supplier, we proudly take ownership of the solutions and results we're committed to delivering. We reduce your costs by shipping directly to your manufacturers. We also reduce your carbon footprint through our sustainable trims, packaging and localised shipping model — dispatching from the nearest of our 10+ locations.
We distribute your woven and care labels as well as any additional trims like branded metal plaques, rivets, crimps, cords and tapes directly to your manufacturer. Our localised distribution model also minimises lead times, so you can get your products to market faster.
Here's how it works:
We add woven and care labels at the manufacturing stage.
We add swing tags and trims at the finishing stage.
We use poly bags throughout the entire supply chain.
We create branding and packaging to enhance the customer experience.
We didn’t think it was possible to find poly bags that could be fully branded, customised and, most importantly, sustainable. Weavabel provided us with the possibilities and ensured a constant supply in the right facilities.”
We recognise that traceability and sustainability go hand in hand, so we empower you to track the journey of our products directly to the source. Through our partnership with Retraced, the leading traceability platform in the fashion industry, you’ll benefit from everything from supplier mapping to product and material traceability to support your reporting efforts and validate your accreditations.
Ever felt the pain of inconsistent branding on your packaging and trims? Our team won't just ensure consistency across all of your branding. They'll go above and beyond to provide exceptional products delivered reliably on time and critically on-brand — with proactive and additional support tailored to your needs.
Helping you reach your sustainability goals means never standing still. We're always on a mission to develop and source the best sustainable materials to enhance our range and elevate your brand message with every product. With this continuous focus on innovation, your brand is certifiably guaranteed to reduce its carbon footprint.
