Polyester Thread with Antique Copper Finish for Footwear
This polyester 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 copper finish surface, the 9 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps footwear 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 elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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.
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.
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 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.
