PU Coated Fabric Sourcing Program for Footwear Manufacturers: Boots
PU Coated Fabric Programme for Footwear Manufacturers: Boots
This programme covers the full path from a pu coated fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for footwear manufacturers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 450 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around boots, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in pu coated 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 RoHS
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Iron — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Ceramic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Genuine Leather — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Rubber — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
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 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.
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
RoHS documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
