Sleeve Head Sourcing Program for E-commerce Sellers: Home Curtains
Sleeve Head Programme for E-commerce Sellers: Home Curtains
This programme covers the full path from a sleeve head requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for e-commerce sellers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 10# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around home curtains, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in sleeve head 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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Bamboo — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Stainless Steel — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Rubber — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Brass — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
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.
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.
Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
