UV Protection Fabric with Soft-Touch Rubber Coating for Caps
This uv protection fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the soft-touch rubber coating surface, the 140 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps caps 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. 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 is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 14001 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
