Satin Label Sourcing Program for Costume and Theatre: Lingerie
Satin Label Programme for Costume and Theatre: Lingerie
This programme covers the full path from a satin label requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for costume and theatre. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 20 mm Width, 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 satin label 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.

FAQ
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.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
