PU Coated Fabric Sourcing Program for Workwear Manufacturers: Trousers
PU Coated Fabric Programme for Workwear Manufacturers: Trousers
This programme covers the full path from a pu coated fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for workwear manufacturers. 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 trousers, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in pu coated 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 BSCI
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Cotton — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Bamboo — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- POM Plastic — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Acrylic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 3000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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 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.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
