Hang Tag Sourcing Program for Footwear Manufacturers: Trousers
Hang Tag Programme for Footwear Manufacturers: Trousers
This programme covers the full path from a hang tag requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for footwear manufacturers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 6 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around trousers, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in 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 California Prop 65
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Wood — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- PU Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Polyester — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
California Prop 65 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
