Pique Knit Fabric Sourcing Program for Logistics Companies

Pique Knit Fabric Programme for Logistics Companies

This programme covers the full path from a pique knit fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for logistics companies. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 400 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in pique knit fabric sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.

What the programme covers

• Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
• Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
• Sampling, testing and approval against ISO 9001
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Zinc Alloy — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• ABS Resin — selected for colour depth and finish stability
• Stainless Steel — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
• Rubber — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

Programme parameters

Why buyers choose this route

• AQL inspection on every bulk lot with photo reporting before balance payment
• Trim and fabric sourced from audited mills with test reports on file
• Golden sample retained at the factory and a second one held by the buyer
• Compliance documentation issued with the shipment, not after it
• Written specification held on file, so every reorder reproduces the approved sample

How the programme runs

1. Discovery call: quantity, target price, delivery window and compliance needs
2. Material and finish proposal with costed alternatives
3. Counter sample built from your tech pack or reference sample
4. Approval, testing and pre-production sign-off
5. Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
6. Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

FAQ

Do you hold stock for reorders?

Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.

How long does sampling take?

7 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.

What are the payment and delivery terms?

Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
