WOVEN FABRIC

It depends on the base fabric and what needs to be done to the fabric, i.e. dyeing and finishing only or additional printing and/or custom put up all come into play. Typically we will run about 3 to 4 weeks on standard items and as long as 8 to 10 weeks on items that are not as typical. For imported fabrics, the lead time tends to be 10 to 12 weeks.

Yes, we will produce and hold fabric for our customers up to 90 days after goods are ready to ship. We will need to know this in advance, however, as we will need to quote accordingly to allow for this.

Depending on the end product, we are more than happy to discuss alternative fabrics that you may want to consider. It is probably best that you contact us to discuss.

If you have a small sample or spec sheet, we can figure out the exact product you want. It also helps to understand your intended use.

No. We are fabric converters - we have established relationships with multiple dye and finishing houses all over the country. This gives us the flexibility to choose which dye house has the appropriate machinery to manufacture your product. We take all the necessary to steps to ensure that quality, price, and delivery are the best they can possibly be.

The quoted minimums are based upon load size per product. This is dictated by the dye house in order to achieve maximum efficiency when manufacturing your product. We remind customers that this is not an exact science. Final quantities are contingent upon raw material put up (quantity) and working loss. Please let us know your requirements and we will be more than happy to help you!

HOOK & LOOP

Acrylic-based product is typically used in outdoor applications and when used against PVC products. It has better UV properties and holds up better in varying temperatures. Both adhesives adhere well to the following substrates: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Copper, Tin, Glass, Nylon, Polyester, Polyurethane. Acrylic-based product is generally priced 20% higher than rubber-based.

Unnapped loop has a higher cycle life and is generally used in many medical applications. Sometimes it is used because it is aesthetically more pleasing than regular loop.

All products are stocked and shipped by the case so our only minimum is one case per product per size. Case size varies by product – usually 500 yards+.

No. However, we will make every attempt to supply you with sample yardage upon request. Please feel free to contact us and request a sample at any time.

LABELS

Since labels are custom and require us to set a machine up to produce any qty, we can only provide a paper proof for printed label orders; we can provide actual samples of woven labels on a first article approval basis only when accompanied with a production order.

Generally, new label orders with artwork for approval require a 3 to 4 week lead time. If it’s a repeat order, usual turnaround time is a couple weeks.

Not necessarily. It depends on the definition you need and, of course, quantity. A lot of times our woven labels will come back less expensive than printed.

We can provide woven and printed labels from your basic two-tone label up to the highest quality labels. We will work with you to make sure that the quality of your label is just what you had in mind!

Yes. Upon blanket order placement only. As labels are completely custom, based on your projections, we are happy to keep additional inventory here in our office to avoid any future shortages.

WEBBING, BINDING, TAPE & ELASTIC

If you are already buying elastic, simply stretch the product – if you can see through it, most of the time you will be using a knit product. Knit products are less expensive than woven products.

Absolutely. Keep in mind that there may be minimums that will be required to run a custom lot, but it can be done.

We have many stock products available to purchase by the case quantity - stock programs can be created for your needs. Minimum runs for non-stock items are usually 5000 yards and up.

 

ROPE & CORD

Both. Primarily, we sell our shock cord in case quantities. However, in some cases we do keep inventory on our more commonly used items in our stock room. Please call your sales representative and inquire.

All rope & cord are typically sold in 5,000 feet and up. However, we will create a stock program for you based on your blanket purchase order needs.

CLOSEOUTS
