Swing Ticket Sourcing Program for Denim Mills: Outdoor Tents
Swing Ticket Programme for Denim Mills: Outdoor Tents
This programme covers the full path from a swing ticket requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for denim mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 12 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around outdoor tents, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in swing ticket 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
- PU Leather — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Iron — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Glass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Silicone — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 105 Colour Fastness 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 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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
