Product Finishing

We've seen a dramatic increase in the amount of customers requesting their own private-labelled garments. What used to be the mark of very large distribution has now become commonplace, even in smaller run productions. In response, some garment manufacturers have begun offering shirts with tear away labels to make the process more cost effective. We understand the importance of brand recognition and our skilled staff can ensure removal and re-labeling of your garments. Our staff has the experience to tackle the large variety of labels and placements.

Another recent trend in garment labeling is heat transfer labels and even direct print labels inside the garment to provide seamless comfort against bare skin. Our Finishing Department is skilled at all kinds of labelling jobs, big and small.

More than just that annoying thing you have to cut off before you wear a shirt, hang tags are used to promote, inform, and bump your garment up to the next level in the eyes of consumers and retail buyers. OSI’s Finishing Department staff can add this branding option to your garments. They don't have to be boring either. We've seen everything from die-cut stickers to plastic and velum. Our wicked talented staff can assist you in the creation of your hang tags. We have established relationships with several vendors and printers to help you get your hang tags produced.

Even the best designs and meticulously executed concepts won't sell if they are stuck in a wad on a shelf somewhere. Why trust your presentation to others when you can have CONTROL? OSI has automated folding and poly bagging equipment to ensure consistent presentation. Professional packaging adds implied quality to your product.

OSI has handled packaging needs for local programs like “Run for the Arts” to national programs like “Honolulu Marathon.”
