Shirt Accessories and Shirt Clips

What are shirt accessories?

Shirt packaging accessories are designed to keep shirts neat and attractive when they are presented to customers in stores or sold online. Common shirt accessories include:

• Shirt clips: hold the folded parts together for tidy packaging; usually plastic or metal.
• Cardboard backs: placed behind the shirt to keep it flat and folded; made of stiff card.
• Collar supports: usually plastic; keep the collar in shape and prevent creasing.
• Sleeve supports: keep sleeves straight and in shape.
• Plastic or paper bands: secure the folds so the shirt does not unfold during packing.
• Boxes and packaging materials: protect shirts in transport and storage.
• Labels and brand information: brand, size, fabric and care instructions.

Shirt accessories make shirts look attractive in stores and online, preserve their quality and help them arrive neat and ready to wear.

What is a shirt clip?

The shirt clip is one of the most widely used accessories in post-production packaging. Its main purpose is to hold shirts folded and in order, usually fixing the sleeves and body together. This prevents creasing and keeps shirts looking neat on shelves and in storage.

Shirt clips are made of durable materials such as plastic or metal and are designed not to damage the shirt while holding it securely. They are common in textile retail and e-commerce: used when packing shirts before shipping and removed by the customer, leaving the shirt ready to wear. Small but important, they help shirts stay like new for longer and make presentation and storage more efficient.

What materials are shirt clips made of?

• Stainless steel: highly corrosion-resistant, long-lasting and offers a firm grip.
• Brass: chosen for its natural antimicrobial properties and appearance; develops an attractive patina over time.
• Plastics:
  • GPPS (general-purpose polystyrene): light and cost-effective, often used for coloured and clear clips.
  • PC (polycarbonate): high impact resistance for stronger clips.
  • POM (polyacetal): wear-resistant, suitable for clips with moving parts or mechanical requirements.

Stainless steel and brass are ideal for durability and grip, while plastics offer lightness and cost efficiency. Design and material depend on the intended use and the manufacturer's preferences. Contact Biass Aksesuar for shirt clips.
