Bra Underwire Sourcing Program for Logistics Companies: Luggage
Bra Underwire Programme for Logistics Companies: Luggage
This programme covers the full path from a bra underwire requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for logistics companies. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 25 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around luggage, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in bra underwire 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
- Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Iron — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Ceramic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Brass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
EN 71-3 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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 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.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
