Toggle Button Sourcing Program for Hotel Groups: Sneakers
Toggle Button Programme for Hotel Groups: Sneakers
This programme covers the full path from a toggle button requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for hotel groups. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 8# Gauge, 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 toggle button 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
- Genuine Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nylon — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Aluminium — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
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.
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.
