Shoulder Patch with Powder Coating for Caps
This shoulder patch is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the powder coating surface, the 3# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps caps 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 elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
