Braided Elastic with Enzyme Wash Finish for Boots
This braided elastic 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 12 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps boots 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 an interlining that bubbled after the first press, or a trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
EN 71-3 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 5000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
