Fusible Interlining Sourcing Program for Dancewear Studios: Footwear
Fusible Interlining Programme for Dancewear Studios: Footwear
This programme covers the full path from a fusible interlining requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for dancewear studios. 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 footwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in fusible interlining 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 EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Neoprene — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Ceramic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Rubber — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- TPU — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
EN 71-3 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
