Non-Woven Fabric Sourcing Program for Fashion Brands: Baby Clothing
Non-Woven Fabric Programme for Fashion Brands: Baby Clothing
This programme covers the full path from a non-woven fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for fashion brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 110 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around baby clothing, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in non-woven 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 California Prop 65
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Genuine Leather — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Iron — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Nylon — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Recycled PET — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
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 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 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
California Prop 65 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
