Snap Tape with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Upholstery
This snap tape is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the nickel-free electroplating surface, the 38 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps upholstery 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
