Striped Fabric Sourcing Program for Automotive Interiors: Home Curtains
Striped Fabric Programme for Automotive Interiors: Home Curtains
This programme covers the full path from a striped fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for automotive interiors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 180 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around home curtains, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in striped 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 CPSIA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Rubber — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Recycled PET — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Nylon — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- ABS Resin — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

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 3000 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
CPSIA documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
