Piping Cord with Antique Copper Finish for Bags
This piping 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 antique copper finish surface, the 6 mm Width 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, 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
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 14001 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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 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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
