Bra Ring and Slider Sourcing Program for Outdoor Gear Brands
Bra Ring and Slider Programme for Outdoor Gear Brands
This programme covers the full path from a bra ring and slider requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for outdoor gear brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 20 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure in bra ring and slider 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 EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- TPU — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- PU Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Stainless Steel — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Nickel Silver — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
