Sequin Trim Sourcing Program for Promotional Product Distributors: Uniforms
Sequin Trim Programme for Promotional Product Distributors: Uniforms
This programme covers the full path from a sequin trim requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for promotional product distributors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 32 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around uniforms, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in sequin trim 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 12947 Abrasion Resistance
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Bamboo — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Nickel Silver — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Acrylic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Iron — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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.
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 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.
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.
