Ms. Bubbles, Inc.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Ms. Bubbles has been in the fashion industry for thirty years. Its brands include PASSPORT, Passport Accessories and Eighty Eight. With showrooms in New York and Los Angeles, Ms. Bubbles sells to major department stores as well as a large number of specialty apparel retailers.

Prior to engaging FineLine as its supplier for tickets, tags and labels Ms. Bubbles ordered its barcoded price tags locally, took delivery in Los Angeles and shipped the tags to its overseas factories . Concerned with reliability and quality, Ms. Bubbles’ management believed it needed to physically inspect the tags in Los Angeles prior to shipping them to its factories. This process required labor, time and overhead….not to mention the substantial costs of shipping tags all over the world.

Working with FineLine has substantially streamlined Ms. Bubbles’ supply chain for price tags. Now, orders may be placed via FineLine’s online ordering system and 80% of the tags are produced at FineLine’s production facilities in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China…where they are shipped or delivered to Ms. Bubbles’ factories in Asia. The result: substantial cost savings on shipping, faster turnaround on orders, and elimination of the overhead associated with managing the process in Los Angeles. FineLine’s experience in solving global ticketing challenges for major retailers as well as for large, global manufacturers gave Ms. Bubbles the confidence that they could trust FineLine to produce their tags to their specifications without the need to physically inspect or control the tags locally.
