Custom OEM Fabric Innerduct

Custom OEM Fabric Innerduct
Overview Fabric innerduct is usually sold from a standard range: 1.25″ to 4″, one to four cells, a fixed reel length. Custom OEM work is for the projects that fall outside it — a cell diameter that is not in the catalogue, a cell count or colour scheme that has to match an existing network, a pull tape printed with the buyer’s own name and part numbers, or a reel length that suits a particular pulling programme. This page is for buyers who need the product made to their specification rather than selected from a list: distributors building their own brand, contractors matching an installation already in the ground, and network operators standardising one specification across several regions. Because woven innerduct is made on a loom rather than extruded, a change of width, cell count or cell colour is generally a setup change rather than new tooling — which is what makes made-to-order work practical at a sensible order size.

Why Buy OEM Direct From the Factory
The specification is agreed with the people who weave it, rather than relayed through a trading company.
Sample approval is against your own specification sheet, not the nearest catalogue item.
There is no third party between you and the production line, so specification changes and queries are answered directly.
Repeat orders repeat the same setup, so the second batch matches the first — [TBC: confirm batch-consistency statement].
Where a specification is genuinely bespoke, it is not offered as a catalogue item to other buyers — [TBC: this is a commercial policy decision].
How an OEM Order Runs
Send the specification — cell diameter or conduit size, cell count, pull tape type and printing, colour scheme, reel length, branding and packing requirements.
We confirm feasibility and quote, flagging anything that needs a decision rather than assuming a value.
A sample is produced against the specification sheet.
You approve the sample and the artwork proof for any printing.
Production runs, with the agreed quality checks recorded.
Packing and labelling are completed to your requirement, then the order ships.
What We Need From You
Sending these ten items with your enquiry is usually the difference between a same-week quote and a week of questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for a custom specification?
MOQ is 2000meter.
Can you print our own brand on the pull tape and the reels?
Yes. Pull tape can carry the sequential footage plus your name, logo and part number, and reels can be labelled with your own label.
Will you make a sample to our specification before production?
Yes — a sample is produced against the specification sheet and has to be approved, along with any printing artwork, before production starts. [TBC — sample lead time and whether it is chargeable.]
Will you sell our bespoke specification to other customers?
No,We will protect our customers' privacy.
Can you match a competitor’s innerduct specification?
Send the specification you have — cell diameter, cell count, tape type, reel length — and we will confirm what can be matched directly and where our product would differ.
Do you also sell a standard range?
Yes. The catalogue range runs from 1.25″ to 4″ in one to four cells. Custom work is for specifications that fall outside it.
