Woven Elastic Sourcing Program for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Gloves
Woven Elastic Programme for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Gloves
This programme covers the full path from a woven elastic requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for towel and bathrobe mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 15 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around gloves, 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 EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Wood — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Iron — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Aluminium — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Polyester — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
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.
Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
