Woven Hang Tag Sourcing Program for Medical Textile Buyers: Shirts
Woven Hang Tag Programme for Medical Textile Buyers: Shirts
This programme covers the full path from a woven hang tag requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for medical textile buyers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 3# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around shirts, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in woven 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
- Aluminium — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Ceramic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Wood — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Iron — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
AATCC Test Methods documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
