Cotton Label Sourcing Program for Hotel Groups: Coats
Cotton Label Programme for Hotel Groups: Coats
This programme covers the full path from a cotton label requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for hotel groups. 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 coats, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in cotton label 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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Recycled PET — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- TPU — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Genuine Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Copper — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
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 is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 3000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
