Piping Cord with Rose Gold Plating for Down Jackets
This piping 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 rose gold plating surface, the 15 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps down jackets 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 elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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.
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
AATCC Test Methods documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
