Anti-Slip Tape Sourcing Program for Kidswear Brands: Sneakers
Anti-Slip Tape Programme for Kidswear Brands: Sneakers
This programme covers the full path from a anti-slip tape requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for kidswear brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 9 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around sneakers, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in anti-slip tape 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 California Prop 65
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Iron — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Acrylic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Cotton — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Silicone — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
California Prop 65 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
