Size Sticker Sourcing Program for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Jackets
Size Sticker Programme for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Jackets
This programme covers the full path from a size sticker requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for towel and bathrobe mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 12 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around jackets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in size sticker 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 REACH SVHC Screening
- 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
- Silicone — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Zinc Alloy — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Iron — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
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.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
