Cord Lock with Matte Black Coating for Shirts
This cord lock is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the matte black coating surface, the 5# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps shirts 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 an interlining that bubbled after the first press, or cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
