Metallic Thread with Sandblasted Finish for Gloves
This metallic thread is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the sandblasted finish surface, the 38 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps gloves 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
