Hook and Eye Sourcing Program for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers: Scarves
Hook and Eye Programme for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers: Scarves
This programme covers the full path from a hook and eye 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 9 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around scarves, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in hook and eye 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 JIS L Standards
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Zinc Alloy — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Stainless Steel — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Bamboo — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Recycled PET — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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