Waxed Cotton Cord Sourcing Program for Lingerie Brands

Waxed Cotton Cord Programme for Lingerie Brands

This programme covers the full path from a waxed cotton cord requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for lingerie brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 38 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in waxed cotton cord 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 GB 18401
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• POM Plastic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Genuine Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Silicone — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
• Bamboo — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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
• Compliance documentation issued with the shipment, not after it
• One accountable owner from sampling through to ex-factory

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?

GB 18401 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.

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.

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.
