Elastic Band with Enzyme Wash Finish for Sportswear
This elastic band is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the enzyme wash finish surface, the 15 mm Width 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
