Waxed Cotton Cord with Black Nickel Finish for Bras
This waxed cotton 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 black nickel finish surface, the 50 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps bras 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 a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack. 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.
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.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
