Reflective Webbing Sourcing Program for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Blazers
Reflective Webbing Programme for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Blazers
This programme covers the full path from a reflective webbing requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for sock and hosiery makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 50 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around blazers, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in reflective webbing 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 REACH SVHC Screening
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Rubber — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- TPU — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Acrylic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Glass — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
REACH SVHC Screening documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
