Non-Woven Fabric Sourcing Program for Bag and Luggage Makers
Non-Woven Fabric Programme for Bag and Luggage Makers
This programme covers the full path from a non-woven fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for bag and luggage makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 210 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure in non-woven 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 Sedex SMETA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Glass — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Nickel Silver — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Recycled PET — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- ABS Resin — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

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.
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
