Canvas Fabric Sourcing Program for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Luggage
Canvas Fabric Programme for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Luggage
This programme covers the full path from a canvas fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for ski and snowboard brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 280 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around luggage, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in canvas fabric 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 ISO 14001
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Aluminium — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Wood — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Glass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Recycled PET — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 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.
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.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
