Apart form the obvious differences in production, which I will go into during this blog, there are many similarities between the two types of manufacturing. Whilst there is a huge difference in how both items are made, they have many things in common or should we say common denominators which go towards the make up […]

I would say that school ties and custom ties are most definitely related apart from the fact that intrinsically, they are the same item as in both are ties no matter if one of them are school ties and the other custom ties. Both ties are made in a similar way, it could well be […]

I guess this is a bit of an open ended question but I thought I would take a little time to tell you the types of ties made by tie makers and tie manufacturers. Lets begin first with the reason the tie is made, in other words, who is the tie being made for? If […]

This is such a good question and in some ways very easily explainable and in others not so easy to explain and I will elaborate on the reasons. Firstly, I would consider that if a factory or business has the honour of being called a tie maker or tie makers then they are most certainly […]

I would consider the role of a tie maker to be really important. Not only are they highly specialised in a niche market, I am of course talking about the sophisticated tie maker and not a set up that would not qualify as a sophisticated tie maker. There are many of these smaller set ups […]

Over the years, the design of ties, these being corporate ties, custom ties or branded ties has evolved significantly to the point where very often, they revert back to a design or pattern […]

There was a time and not that long ago when many corporates ordering company ties or branded ties and corporate scarves would also order corporate jewellery in the form of cufflinks, pin badges, brooches, nameplates tie clips and many such other items to compliment the corporate ties and custom scarves they were ordering. This was […]

Normally it is the case that tie manufacturers do make ties and scarves. Whether it be custom ties, school ties and corporate ties, it doesn’t really matter and the same goes for custom scarves or corporate scarves. In South Africa, there are very few tie manufacturers who make fashion ties and scarves and the reason […]

This is such an interesting question and one that I pondered for quite some time before responding to this question. So if we consider the 2 entities being custom ties which obviously incorporates school ties, corporate ties and branded ties and then tie manufacturers which encompasses either one tie manufacturer or several tie manufacturers, it […]
