Hook and Eye Tape Sourcing Program for Workwear Manufacturers: Gloves
Hook and Eye Tape Programme for Workwear Manufacturers: Gloves
This programme covers the full path from a hook and eye tape requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for workwear manufacturers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 20 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around gloves, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in hook and eye tape 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 Bluesign
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Polyester — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- ABS Resin — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Cotton — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Zinc Alloy — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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 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.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
