Grosgrain Ribbon with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Bags
This grosgrain ribbon is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the nickel-free electroplating surface, the 25 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps bags 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 compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
