Care Label Sourcing Program for Swimwear Brands: Bedding Sets
Care Label Programme for Swimwear Brands: Bedding Sets
This programme covers the full path from a care label requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for swimwear brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 5# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around bedding sets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in care 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 REACH SVHC Screening
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Bamboo — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Stainless Steel — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Glass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Silicone — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

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 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.
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 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
