Non-Woven Interlining Sourcing Program for Independent Boutiques: Jeans
Non-Woven Interlining Programme for Independent Boutiques: Jeans
This programme covers the full path from a non-woven interlining requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for independent boutiques. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 8# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around jeans, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in non-woven interlining 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 Sedex SMETA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Aluminium — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Copper — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- POM Plastic — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- TPU — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
Sedex SMETA documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
