Hi there, my name is Mary Wingo and I manufacture premium woven and printed labels and patches with the best craftsmanship in the industry. These are used for product branding as well as certain types of legal compliance needed for sewn products and clothing. I can also source small or large volumes of imported custom clothing and other custom sewn products, as I have a myriad of niche sewing | |||
factories in my network. I am here if you are needing real professional service. | |||
I can provide you not only with excellent service and pricing, but I can also help with special requests and projects that are difficult to source or engineer from many manufacturing fields. | |||
You can always call me at 325-515-4103 ( I do work internationally) or just get back by email if you have any specs, artwork, or any questions whatsoever. You will completely be taken care of by my world-class team, as we have been serving our elite clients for almost 12 years. | |||
I do have some beautiful label and patch work to share with you if you are interested. Would you like for me to send you more I nformation or a link to my gallery? Or are you open to some other | |||
type of dialog? | |||
