Viscose Fabric Sourcing Program for Hospitals and Clinics: Lingerie
Viscose Fabric Programme for Hospitals and Clinics: Lingerie
This programme covers the full path from a viscose fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for hospitals and clinics. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 360 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around lingerie, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in viscose 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 GB 18401
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Silicone — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- TPU — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Cotton — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- POM Plastic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
GB 18401 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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 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.
