Basting Thread with Powder Coating for Dresses
This basting thread is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the powder coating surface, the 32 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps dresses consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio, or a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
