German term or phrase: Konfektionierungsartikel
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

finishing products
Explanation:
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:

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.

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


Explanation:
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


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