Boning Tape Sourcing Program for Yacht and Marine Interiors: Skirts
Boning Tape Programme for Yacht and Marine Interiors: Skirts
This programme covers the full path from a boning tape requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for yacht and marine interiors. 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 skirts, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in boning tape 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
- Polyester — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Wood — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Rubber — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- PU Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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.
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 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
REACH SVHC Screening documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
