Basting Thread with Antique Brass Plating for Workwear
This basting 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 brass plating surface, the 6 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps workwear 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 a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack, or lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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.
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 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.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
