Ribbon with Matte Black Coating for Trousers
This ribbon is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the matte black coating surface, the 5# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps trousers 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 5000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
