Sleeve Head with Laser Engraved Finish for Socks
This sleeve head is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the laser engraved finish surface, the 25 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps socks 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 cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
