Cord Lock with Piece-Dyed Finish for Skirts
This cord lock is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the piece-dyed finish surface, the 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps skirts 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 trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
