Fleece Fabric Sourcing Program for Medical Textile Buyers

Fleece Fabric Programme for Medical Textile Buyers

This programme covers the full path from a fleece fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for medical textile buyers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 110 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in fleece 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 12947 Abrasion Resistance
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• TPU — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
• Copper — selected for colour depth and finish stability
• Nickel Silver — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
• Cotton — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

Programme parameters

Why buyers choose this route

• MOQ quoted per style per colourway, stated before sampling starts
• Written specification held on file, so every reorder reproduces the approved sample
• Compliance documentation issued with the shipment, not after it
• Plating and dyeing sub-processes planned into the quoted lead time
• AQL inspection on every bulk lot with photo reporting before balance payment

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

Which compliance documents do you provide?

ISO 12947 Abrasion Resistance documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.

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.

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.

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.
