Waxed Cotton Cord with UV Printing for Bras
This waxed cotton cord is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the uv printing surface, the 5# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps bras 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 trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
