Hem Tape with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Outdoor Tents
This hem tape 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 6 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps outdoor tents 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 3000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
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?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
