Chenille Patch Sourcing Program for Schools and Universities: Outdoor Tents
Chenille Patch Programme for Schools and Universities: Outdoor Tents
This programme covers the full path from a chenille patch requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for schools and universities. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 6 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around outdoor tents, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in chenille patch 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 ISO 105 Colour Fastness
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Stainless Steel — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Iron — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- POM Plastic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Copper — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 105 Colour Fastness 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.
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.
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.
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.
