Cord Lock with Antique Brass Plating for Backpacks
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 antique brass plating surface, the 3# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps backpacks 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
