Size Label Sourcing Program for Denim Mills: Blouses
Size Label Programme for Denim Mills: Blouses
This programme covers the full path from a size label requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for denim mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 50 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around blouses, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in size label 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 Sedex SMETA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Cotton — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Zinc Alloy — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Copper — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Recycled PET — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
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.
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 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
Sedex SMETA documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
