Piping Cord with Yarn-Dyed Finish for Sportswear
This piping cord is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the yarn-dyed finish surface, the 10# Gauge 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
