Polar Fleece Fabric Sourcing Program for Pet Product Brands
Polar Fleece Fabric Programme for Pet Product Brands
This programme covers the full path from a polar fleece fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for pet product brands. 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 polar 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
- Nickel Silver — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Rubber — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- TPU — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Zinc Alloy — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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.
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.
How long does sampling take?
10 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.
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.
