Coated Fabric Sourcing Program for Independent Boutiques: Bedding Sets
Coated Fabric Programme for Independent Boutiques: Bedding Sets
This programme covers the full path from a coated fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for independent boutiques. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 280 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around bedding sets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in coated 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 ISO 14001
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Neoprene — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Bamboo — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Acrylic — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Rubber — 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?
ISO 14001 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
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.
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.
