Woven Hang Tag Sourcing Program for PPE Distributors: Swimwear
Woven Hang Tag Programme for PPE Distributors: Swimwear
This programme covers the full path from a woven hang tag requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for ppe distributors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 5# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around swimwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in woven hang tag 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 RoHS
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- ABS Resin — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Zinc Alloy — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Acrylic — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- PU Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 2000 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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
