Sequin Trim Sourcing Program for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers

Sequin Trim Programme for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers

This programme covers the full path from a sequin trim 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 8# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in sequin trim 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 BSCI
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Silicone — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
• Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
• Genuine Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

Programme parameters

Why buyers choose this route

• Golden sample retained at the factory and a second one held by the buyer
• Plating and dyeing sub-processes planned into the quoted lead time
• Written specification held on file, so every reorder reproduces the approved sample
• Costed alternatives shown at quotation so the trade-off is visible
• MOQ quoted per style per colourway, stated before sampling starts

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

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 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.

How long does sampling take?

7 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.

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.

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.
