Hang Tag Sourcing Program for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Boots
Hang Tag Programme for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Boots
This programme covers the full path from a hang tag requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for towel and bathrobe mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 32 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around boots, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in hang tag 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 EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Stainless Steel — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Zinc Alloy — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Rubber — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Polyester — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
EN 71-3 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 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
