Wired Edge Ribbon with Gunmetal Finish for Bags
This wired edge ribbon 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 3# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps bags 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 spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 3 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.
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 is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
