Hair Canvas Sourcing Program for Independent Boutiques: Uniforms
Hair Canvas Programme for Independent Boutiques: Uniforms
This programme covers the full path from a hair canvas requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for independent boutiques. 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 uniforms, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in hair canvas 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 GRS
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Acrylic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Neoprene — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Copper — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- POM Plastic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
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?
GRS documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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 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.
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.
