Stud Trim Sourcing Program for Independent Boutiques: Sportswear
Stud Trim Programme for Independent Boutiques: Sportswear
This programme covers the full path from a stud trim requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for independent boutiques. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 32 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around sportswear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in stud trim 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 WRAP
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Ceramic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Brass — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Genuine Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Cotton — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
WRAP documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
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.
