RESOURCE CENTRE JV Plastic Industries brings to India Embroflex badges T he sustainable growth of any company is dependent on how innovative and market-informed the company is; this fact is even more relevant for those working in the fashion/apparel business. JV Plastic Industries, headquartered in Delhi and a known name in all kinds of plastic garment accessories (plastic hangers, seal tags, tie hangers, garment clips, belt hangers, trouser clips, round sizer, collar clips), is always searching for new products to add to its already interesting collection. The latest from the company is embroflex badges for which they have an exclusive license to produce in India. With the production of embroflex badges, JV Plastic has in its basket an item, which can otherwise only be imported, but the company claims that the options are not as beneficial as procuring from them. “The embroflex badges can certainly be imported, but delivery timeline and quality that we can serve, cannot be matched. Since we have very good and strong hand in mould making (technically) and have our own tool house, so it gives us complete control on quality, finish and delivery of the product. The price advantage would be about 15-20%, but one of the best features is the fact that the badges cannot be duplicated. Hence the brand’s designs are secure and many sportswear companies prefer the embroflex badges, instead of the regular embroidered ones. Kapil Lalwani (L), CEO and Heena Kalia, Marketing Manager, JV Plastic Introduced in India for the first time, these embroflex badges give a 3D effect, and the depth and clarity of designs can go up to 10 colours which is far superior to embroidered badges. there’s more advantage of quality and finish,” said Heena Kalia, Marketing Manager, JV Plastic, with conviction. Her confidence is not based on perceptions but feedback that the company has received from users. “I have come across the same product imported by 2-3 customers of mine but they were not really satisfied with the quality they are being served. Also, they wanted an easy approachable supplier so that they also can have all the control here in India,” explained Heena. The technology behind the product is a patented Japanese technique, and JV Plastic had showcased the new product at the recently held GTE and was very happy with the interest that the embroflex badge generated. International brands like Tommy and Ralph Lauren are already using these badges as differentiators and now even Indian brands like BlackBerry, Allen Solly, PVH are increasingly using the same. “We are capable of creating any design as given by the customer, but initially would expect a MoQ of 500 to 1000 pieces. As the number of pieces goes up, the better will be the price that we can offer,” added Heena. This new product adds to the already interesting range of innovative products that the company is offering, and includes, texture hangers with different kinds of flat hooks in different or multiple colour combinations; unbreakable hangers with high level of flexibility; increased range of plastic tags and wax thread in plastic seals. Peayush Machineries, happy with the market response P eayush Machineries Pvt. Ltd. (PMPL) Delhi, one of the leading suppliers of various value addition machines, has had a keen eye on the growing need for value adding machines in recent time and is also positive about the future. “Market has already picked up for us as we offer a wide range of products and this gets us some new customers each time we display. Increased number of garment factories in the market is leading to the current slowdown, but this also has worked in our favour as we were able to gain some new clients,” stated Prateek Chowdhary, MD of the company. Peayush Machineries mainly offers multi-head embroidery machines (‘DAYU’ brand) and laser marking machines, and currently enjoys a good customer base in Delhi-NCR.
