Size Sticker Sourcing Program for Baby Product Brands: Socks
Size Sticker Programme for Baby Product Brands: Socks
This programme covers the full path from a size sticker requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for baby product brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 15 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around socks, 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 CPSIA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Zinc Alloy — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Wood — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- TPU — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- ABS Resin — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
CPSIA documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
