Fusible Web Tape Sourcing Program for Plus Size Brands: Shirts

Fusible Web Tape Programme for Plus Size Brands: Shirts

This programme covers the full path from a fusible web tape requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for plus size brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 5# 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 fusible web tape 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 REACH SVHC Screening
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Nickel Silver — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
• Bamboo — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• ABS Resin — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
• Zinc Alloy — selected for colour depth and finish stability

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

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.

Which compliance documents do you provide?

REACH SVHC Screening documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.

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.

Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
