Elastic Cord with Chrome Plating for Bridal Gowns
This elastic 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 chrome plating surface, the 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps bridal gowns 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 3000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
RoHS documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
