Sparkling Detail: How China Clothing Factory Uses Rhinestones (“Flash Beads”) to Elevate Custom Apparel

For over 23 years, China Clothing Factory has been crafting apparel with precision and creativity. With a 10,000 m² factory, 300 skilled workers, and 200 production machines, we deliver up to 10,000 garments daily. As a full‑service factory, we provide one‑stop solutions for custom clothing, and now we are proud to spotlight our expertise in rhinestone / flash bead (打泡珠) embellishment.

What Are “Flash Beads” / Rhinestones?

“Flash beads” or 打泡珠 are small, faceted, light‑reflective beads used to decorate garments, often applied via heat press or hotfix. These embellishments catch light and add glittering accents to designs — perfect for stagewear, fashion, streetwear, dancewear, and custom promotional apparel.

Why Use Rhinestones in Custom Clothing?

  • Visual Impact: Adds sparkle and dimension, making garments eye-catching under lights

  • Durability: High-quality rhinestones resist shedding and maintain shine after washing

  • Design Flexibility: Available in many colors, sizes, and shapes to match branding or themes

  • Value Addition: Transforms standard pieces into premium, collectible pieces with higher perceived value

How China Clothing Factory Applies Rhinestones

At China Clothing Factory, we integrate rhinestone application into our custom apparel workflow, ensuring quality and efficiency:

  1. Design & Placement Planning

    • We work with clients to choose rhinestone colors, sizes, and layout

    • Digital mockups help visualize where beads will go on each garment

  2. Material & Rhinestone Sourcing

    • We source high-quality hotfix rhinestones from trusted suppliers

    • Beads available in colors like crystal, jet, AB (Aurora Borealis), gold, etc.

  3. Heat Press / Hotfix Application

    • Using precision heat-press machines, we apply beads onto fabric

    • Temperature, pressure, and dwell time are carefully controlled

  4. Quality Inspection & Finishing

    • Each piece is inspected to ensure beads are securely attached

    • Loose or incomplete beads are corrected, and garments are cleaned/steamed before packing

  5. Packaging & Delivery

    • Finished garments are folded or hung, protected, and shipped

    • We coordinate shipping globally with cost-effective logistics
