Hang Tag Sourcing Program for Home Textile Brands: Boots
Hang Tag Programme for Home Textile Brands: Boots
This programme covers the full path from a hang tag requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for home textile brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 12 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around boots, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in hang tag 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 14001
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- ABS Resin — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nylon — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Bamboo — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Zinc Alloy — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
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.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
