Carabiner Clip with Black Nickel Finish for Sportswear
This carabiner clip is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the black nickel finish surface, the 20 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?

Which compliance documents do you provide?
Bluesign documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
