| Know before using | SwatchOn's supplier status, counts, and trust language describe its own marketplace and can change. They do not independently establish fibre identity, performance, certification validity, mill ownership, production capacity, colour continuity, delivery, duty, or commercial fit. Review samples, test data, current certificates, the contracting entity, order terms, and landed logistics before purchase. | This is general association guidance and a route to a separate directory, not selection, audit, representation, contracting, or legal advice. Member-only access does not establish a manufacturer's suitability. Apply the guidance to the actual product and verify the legal and production entities, site, capabilities, capacity, samples, compliance, specifications, price, terms, and remedies. |

| What the source establishes | SwatchOn's current marketplace page exposes fabrics, trims, and prints, with swatch samples, in-stock catalogue colours, low-order-quantity options, and global logistics support. The page publishes operator-supplied marketplace and supplier counts and labels participating suppliers as verified partners. | UKFT's current page links free guides, templates, frequently asked questions, advice, and case studies for working with UK manufacturers through the Let's Make It Here directory. The page also states that some downloadable resources are reserved for UKFT members and require a membership check. |
