Piping Cord with Chrome Plating for Scarves
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 chrome plating surface, the 12 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps scarves 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
