Herringbone Tape with Epoxy Doming for Boots
This herringbone tape is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the epoxy doming surface, the 15 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps boots 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash, or a trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
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?
GB 18401 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
