Shank Button with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Yoga Wear

Shank Button with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Yoga Wear

This shank button 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 15 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps yoga wear 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. 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.

Which compliance documents do you provide?

GB 18401 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.

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.
