Fur Trim Sourcing Program for Promotional Product Distributors: Sportswear
Fur Trim Programme for Promotional Product Distributors: Sportswear
This programme covers the full path from a fur trim requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for promotional product distributors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 3# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around sportswear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in fur trim 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 105 Colour Fastness
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Iron — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Stainless Steel — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Nylon — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Bamboo — 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.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
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.
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.
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.
