Hang Tag Sourcing Program for Airlines and Rail Operators
Hang Tag Programme for Airlines and Rail Operators
This programme covers the full path from a hang tag requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for airlines and rail operators. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 25 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure in hang tag 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 AATCC Test Methods
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Cotton — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Genuine Leather — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- POM Plastic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Copper — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
