Hook and Loop Tape with Mercerised Finish for Socks
This hook and loop tape is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the mercerised finish surface, the 12 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps socks 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
