UV Protection Fabric Sourcing Program for Kidswear Brands: Workwear
UV Protection Fabric Programme for Kidswear Brands: Workwear
This programme covers the full path from a uv protection fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for kidswear brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 240 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around workwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in uv protection fabric 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
- Ceramic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- ABS Resin — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Wood — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- PU Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

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 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 105 Colour Fastness documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
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.
