Nickel Silver Size Sticker for Socks — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Nickel Silver Size Sticker for Socks: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Nickel Silver Size Sticker is the version buyers specify for socks when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
Nickel Silver gives size sticker its strength and surface character. In practice that means the trim behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: shrinkage allowance has to be built into the spec. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.
Typical specification

Properties that matter in buying

- Colour fastness — tested to JIS L Standards on the actual base material, not on a substitute.
- Mechanical performance — cycle life after 30 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — JIS L Standards documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.

How to specify it
- Name the base material in the tech pack, not just the item.

- Retain a golden sample at the factory and a second one with you.
