Non-Woven Interlining Sourcing Program for Bag and Luggage Makers: Down Jackets
Non-Woven Interlining Programme for Bag and Luggage Makers: Down Jackets
This programme covers the full path from a non-woven interlining requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for bag and luggage makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 9 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around down jackets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in non-woven 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 REACH SVHC Screening
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Nickel Silver — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Bamboo — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Recycled PET — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
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?
REACH SVHC Screening 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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
