German term

Konfektionierungsartikel

German to English Marketing Manufacturing
Can anyone help with a translation of "Konfektionierungsartikel" in the following context?
"Für unser Ziel – der Marktführerschaft im Bereich der Konfektionierungsartikel – brauchen wir Platz."

(See website:
http://druck-medien.net/aktuell/newsdetail/article/14262-spr...

I've found "packaging", "customization" and "manufacturing" among the possible translations for "Konfektionierung" and I'm not sure which, if any, of these would be appropriate here.

TIA
Proposed translations (English)
3 finishing products
4 customized goods
2 dry goods/textile articles
2 product lines / range
2 accessories

one might search for "customized office stationery" with loc:UK or :US according to target audience.
Catherine Winzer (asker) May 14, 2011:
More context On another website about the company I found the following:
"spezialisiert auf Konfektionierungsartikel wie zum Beispiel Dreiecktaschen, Visitenkartenhüllen, Buchschrauben, Klebepunkte und Kugelketten."
Catherine Winzer (asker) May 14, 2011:
@Horst The only context I have is the website posted above along with the company's website. I'm having difficulty in pinning down the industry myself, which is what makes the term so problematic.
Horst Huber (X) May 13, 2011:
Kontext please. What is the industry? In the outerwear field, "Konfektion" just meant ready-to-wear.

finishing products

This might be an option. In another article about Sprintis Schenk, further examples of Konfektionierungsartikel are given - things like wire binding products for ring binders and calendars, etc. Looking at similar companies in English-speaking countries, I think you could refer to these as finishing products, although there may be a better term.

See what you think of the following links:

Sprintis zeigt Druckereibedarf auf der Druck + Form
Drahtbinderücken auf Spule der Firma Sprintis
Zum mittlerweile zweiten Mal stellt der Großhändler SPRINTIS Schenk auf der Druck und Form in Sinsheim aus. Auf 24 m² werden verschiedenste Konfektionierungsartikel, die im Nachhinein in Verbindung mit Druckprodukten verarbeitet werden, präsentiert. Erstmals werden auch Drahtbinderücken auf Spulen gezeigt. SPRINTIS Schenk hat hier den Vertrieb für einen etablierten Hersteller übernommen, und kann nach eigenen Angaben gute Qualität zu einem attraktiven Preis anbieten.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I think "finishing products" might be the closest to what I'm looking for here - thanks for the helpful links, Alison. But thank you to everyone else, too. A couple of the other suggestions would also have been possible options here."

product lines / range

Also just a suggestion. I first thought of "customised product range / lines", but looking at Sprintis Schenk's homepage, I don't know if you could call their products customised.

customized goods

'Konfektion' refers to textiles, 'Konfektionierung' refers to pre-fabricated items ready for installation. The term mostly used here is 'customized'.
