Rhinestone Trim Sourcing Program for PPE Distributors: Jeans
Rhinestone Trim Programme for PPE Distributors: Jeans
This programme covers the full path from a rhinestone trim requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for ppe distributors. 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 jeans, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in rhinestone 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 BSCI
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Glass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Rubber — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
