Cord End with Chrome Plating for Coats
This cord end is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the chrome plating surface, the 20 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps coats 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 zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse, or lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
