Non-Woven Fabric Sourcing Program for E-commerce Sellers: Kidswear
Non-Woven Fabric Programme for E-commerce Sellers: Kidswear
This programme covers the full path from a non-woven fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for e-commerce sellers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 140 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around kidswear, 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 GB 18401
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- ABS Resin — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Stainless Steel — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Iron — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Neoprene — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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