Cord Stopper Sourcing Program for Home Textile Brands

Cord Stopper Programme for Home Textile Brands

This programme covers the full path from a cord stopper requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for home textile brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 12 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in cord stopper 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 REACH SVHC Screening
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Rubber — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Nylon — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
• Bamboo — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Stainless Steel — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

Programme parameters

Why buyers choose this route

• Compliance documentation issued with the shipment, not after it
• Plating and dyeing sub-processes planned into the quoted lead time
• Trim and fabric sourced from audited mills with test reports on file
• Written specification held on file, so every reorder reproduces the approved sample
• Golden sample retained at the factory and a second one held by the buyer

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

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard MOQ is 3000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.

Which compliance documents do you provide?

REACH SVHC Screening documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.

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.

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.

Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
