Covered Button with Mercerised Finish for Shirts
This covered button is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the mercerised finish surface, the 10# 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
