Rubber Patch with Rainbow Iridescent Finish for Caps
This rubber patch is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the rainbow iridescent finish surface, the 32 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps caps 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 a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack, or a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 5000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
