Nylon Fabric Sourcing Program for Hospitals and Clinics: Upholstery
Nylon Fabric Programme for Hospitals and Clinics: Upholstery
This programme covers the full path from a nylon fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for hospitals and clinics. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 360 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around upholstery, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in nylon fabric 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
- Wood — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Glass — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- TPU — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Silicone — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
