Applique Patch with Pearlescent Coating for Workwear
This applique patch is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the pearlescent coating surface, the 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps workwear 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or a compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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 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.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
