Trimmings:
Trims cover all of the things except the main or base fabric and other accessories required to dispatch (send out) the garments to the final destiny or to the buyer or customer. The things those are attached to the garments after finishing are termed as trimmings (in short trims) in garments manufacturing technology. Some individuals mistakenly consider accessories and trimmings to be the same but the difference between them is that the accessories are attached to the garments during making or manufacturing, whereas trimmings are attached to the garments after finishing. Trims cover the following things: Collar insert or neck board or collar stand, Back board, Butterfly, Hangtags (Price tag, size tag, etc), Tag pins, Tissue paper, Hangers, Single and blister poly bag, Metal clip or plastic clip, Alpin, Bar code sticker, Scotch tape, Gum tape, Cellophane tape, Export carton, etc.

Clothes Hanger:
A cloth’s hanger, or coat’s hanger, is a device in the shape of:

• Human shoulders designed to facilitate the hanging of a coat, jacket, sweater, shirt, blouse or dress in a manner that prevents wrinkles, with a lower bar for the hanging of trousers or skirts.

• Clamp for the hanging of trousers, skirts, or kilts. Both types can be combined in a single hanger.

There are two basic types of clothes hangers. The first is the wire hanger and the second is the wooden hanger. There are also plastic coat hangers, which mostly mimic the shape of either a wire or wooden hanger. Plastic coat hangers are also produced in smaller sizes to accommodate the shapes of children's clothes.
