Metal Button with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Kidswear
This metal button is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the nickel-free electroplating surface, the 12 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps kidswear 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 spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack, or a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
