Bungee Cord Sourcing Program for Fashion Brands: Footwear
Bungee Cord Programme for Fashion Brands: Footwear
This programme covers the full path from a bungee cord requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for fashion brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 38 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around footwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in bungee cord 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
- Iron — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Genuine Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Polyester — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Nickel Silver — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
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.
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.
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 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
