Waffle Knit Fabric with UV Printing for Lingerie
This waffle knit fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the uv printing surface, the 140 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps lingerie 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
