Paracord with Rainbow Iridescent Finish for Swimwear
This paracord 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 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps swimwear 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio. 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.
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.
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.
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.
