Sewing Thread with Antique Brass Plating for Uniforms
This sewing thread 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 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps uniforms 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 a compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
