Taslan Fabric Sourcing Program for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Backpacks
Taslan Fabric Programme for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Backpacks
This programme covers the full path from a taslan fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for sock and hosiery makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 450 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around backpacks, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in taslan 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 AATCC Test Methods
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Zinc Alloy — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Genuine Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Cotton — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- POM Plastic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
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.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 5 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.
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.
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.
