Spacer Mesh Fabric Sourcing Program for Chef Wear Suppliers: Dresses
Spacer Mesh Fabric Programme for Chef Wear Suppliers: Dresses
This programme covers the full path from a spacer mesh fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for chef wear suppliers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 160 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around dresses, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in spacer mesh 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 EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- ABS Resin — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Nickel Silver — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Wood — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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 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 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.
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.
