Elastic Band with Enzyme Wash Finish for Hats
This elastic band is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the enzyme wash finish surface, the 5# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps hats 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 compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
GRS documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
