Boning Tape with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Blazers
This boning 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 nickel-free electroplating surface, the 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps blazers 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 trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested, or lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
