Resin Button Sourcing Program for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Yoga Wear
Resin Button Programme for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Yoga Wear
This programme covers the full path from a resin button requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for sock and hosiery makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 6 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around yoga wear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in resin button 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 ISO 14001
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Brass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Cotton — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- POM Plastic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- TPU — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
