Elastic Thread with Mercerised Finish for Down Jackets
This elastic thread is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the mercerised finish surface, the 20 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps down jackets 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 compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped, or a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse. 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.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
