Elastic Band with Chrome Plating for Kidswear
This elastic band 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 5# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps kidswear 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
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 happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
