Shoulder Patch Sourcing Program for Baby Product Brands: Yoga Wear

Shoulder Patch Programme for Baby Product Brands: Yoga Wear

This programme covers the full path from a shoulder patch requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for baby product brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 25 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around yoga wear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.

The most common failure in shoulder patch 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 GB 18401
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Polyester — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Silicone — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Iron — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• POM Plastic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ

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.

How long does sampling take?

10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.

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?

GB 18401 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
