Eyelet Tape with Silicone Wash Finish for Hats
This eyelet tape is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the silicone wash finish surface, the 10# 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 cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio, or elastic that lost recovery after three washes. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
