Hook and Eye Tape Sourcing Program for PPE Distributors: Lingerie

Hook and Eye Tape Programme for PPE Distributors: Lingerie

This programme covers the full path from a hook and eye tape requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for ppe distributors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 5# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around lingerie, which is where most of the specification detail sits.

The most common failure in hook and eye 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 CPSIA
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Zinc Alloy — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Recycled PET — selected for colour depth and finish stability
• Nylon — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Genuine Leather — selected for colour depth and finish stability

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.

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.

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.

Which compliance documents do you provide?

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