Chest Canvas Sourcing Program for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers
Chest Canvas Programme for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers
This programme covers the full path from a chest canvas requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for craft and hobby wholesalers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 9 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure in chest canvas 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
- Bamboo — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Copper — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Silicone — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
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.
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
EN 71-3 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
