Detailed description
There is no single grade of hook and loop, only grades matched to a job. The material, the width and the put-up below are the three variables worth settling before the first order, because changing any of them later re-opens the price.
What the buyer is choosing
Grade and backing are separate decisions. The same woven face is supplied plain for stitching, coated with acrylic for panels, or coated with rubber for rough and low-energy surfaces. Buying the face and the backing as one item is what produces the 'it stuck for a week then fell off' complaint.
The material question
The construction is a woven hook and loop face in the standard grade: enough hook density for a normal closure, priced for volume rather than for a five-year service life. If the application cycles more than a few thousand times, ask for the higher-density weave instead of paying twice for the same part.
How it is quoted
Samples ship in seven days, cut to the width you ask for, with the lot report from the run they came from. Bulk runs fifteen to twenty-five days after sample approval, EXW Xiamen, FOB or CIF as you prefer.
What ships with the goods
Each carton is marked with the lot number, width, colour and quantity, and the lot report references the same number. That is what makes a claim traceable six months later instead of a conversation about photographs.
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.
Ask for a sample at your width; it ships in seven days and it settles the substrate, colour and hand questions faster than any specification sheet.
