Boning Tape Sourcing Program for Golf Apparel Brands: Underwear
Boning Tape Programme for Golf Apparel Brands: Underwear
This programme covers the full path from a boning tape requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for golf apparel brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 12 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around underwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in boning 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 Sedex SMETA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Stainless Steel — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Cotton — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Silicone — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Recycled PET — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

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