Brand ID is a global manufacturer and distributor of apparel trims, UPC tickets, and packaging.
History
Brand ID was founded in Costa Mesa, California in 1997 by Colin Cormac and Andrew Hockaday. Around the same time, the domestic apparel industry was shrinking and manufacturing was shifting to China. As a result of this, Brand ID Hong Kong, a subsidiary of Brand ID, was founded one year later in 1998. Brand ID Hong Kong is located in the New Territories of Hong Kong. Today, Brand ID Hong Kong serves as a distribution center for trims and packaging that are produced in China.
As the years passed, apparel production began to move towards Northern China. It then became necessary for Brand ID to add another distribution center. In 2010, Brand ID China was formed.
Operations
Brand ID is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California. Its main lines of business are apparel trims and packaging, contributing 85% of 2018 revenues, with UPC variable dating solutions making up the remaining 15% of revenue for 2018. Brand ID employs 200 people worldwide. Its first subsidiary was established in Hong Kong in 1998.
Brand ID works with apparel brands to design and manufacture apparel trims, such as woven labels, buttons, patches, and other embellishments. Once the trims have been developed and approved by the brand, the items are set to be ordered, produced and shipped to third-party apparel manufacturers all around the world. Variable data is transmitted from the apparel brands directly to Brand ID using XML technology. Brand ID then proceeds to print the Universal Product Codes (UPC).[1]
