Cord End with Gunmetal Finish for Underwear
This cord end is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the gunmetal finish surface, the 15 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps underwear 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 elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
