Detailed description
If the last shipment had edges fraying, a width that measured wide on arrival, or a peel that read low in incoming inspection, the cause is almost always in one of the four items described on this page rather than in the price.
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
The fibre is nylon (polyamide). It takes dye deeply, which is why the colour range is wide and why the colour holds through washing at 40 degrees. Its weakness is moisture regain: a nylon roll absorbs water in transit, measures wide on arrival and settles back over about a week, so allow for it in incoming inspection rather than rejecting the lot.
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
On arrival, measure the width at the core and at the outside of the roll before you cut anything. A roll that measures wide at one end and nominal at the other was slit under uneven tension, and the whole lot will behave the same way on your line.
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.
