Velvet Ribbon with Gunmetal Finish for Jeans
This velvet ribbon is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the gunmetal finish surface, the 6 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps jeans 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. 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?
7 working days for the first sample, with 3 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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
