Waxed Cotton Cord with Antique Copper Finish for Sportswear
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 antique copper finish surface, the 10# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps sportswear 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 compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
