Detailed description
The specification sheet for this item is short, which is exactly why it gets mis-bought. Two suppliers can both call a roll nylon hook and loop and still ship different yarn counts, different hook densities and a different put-up.
What the buyer is choosing
Colour is a specification, not a preference. Dyed lots are matched to a retained standard under D65 light, and a black that matches in an office can read green in daylight. If the colour is customer-facing, approve a physical swatch and keep it, because a photograph is not a standard.
The material question
This is a nylon-polyester blend rather than a single fibre. The nylon share carries the cycle life and the colour depth; the polyester share carries dimensional stability and the price. Blends are quoted by ratio, so if the ratio is not stated, the two quotes you are comparing are not for the same product.
How it is quoted
Payment is 30 percent deposit with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading. Mixed widths on one purchase order are quoted as separate lines with a shared lead time, which is usually cheaper than splitting the order.
What ships with the goods
Colour is checked against the retained standard under D65 on every lot, and weft skew, oil marks and hook damage are inspected across the full roll rather than on a cut sample.
Checking it on arrival
Open one carton from the middle of the pallet, not the top. Condensation and compression both show up in the middle of a stack, and the top carton is the one that was packed with the most care.
If the grade is still open, send the application and the cycle count and we will tell you which of the three constructions is the cheapest one that will survive it.
