Bungee Cord Sourcing Program for PPE Distributors: Yoga Wear
Bungee Cord Programme for PPE Distributors: Yoga Wear
This programme covers the full path from a bungee cord requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for ppe distributors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 38 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around yoga wear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in bungee cord 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 EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Copper — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Bamboo — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Acrylic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Glass — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
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.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
