Covered Button with UV Printing for Caps
This covered button is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the uv printing surface, the 15 mm Width 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or a trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
