Elastic Cord with Antique Copper Finish for Backpacks
This elastic cord 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 32 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps backpacks 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
