Woven Elastic Sourcing Program for Logistics Companies: Footwear
Woven Elastic Programme for Logistics Companies: Footwear
This programme covers the full path from a woven elastic requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for logistics companies. 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 footwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in woven elastic 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 105 Colour Fastness
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Brass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Polyester — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Bamboo — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Stainless Steel — 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.
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 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 105 Colour Fastness documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
