Detailed description
Most enquiries for this item come down to three decisions made in the wrong order: grade, width, then price. Grade sets the cycle life, width sets the roll cost, and the unit price is only comparable once the first two are fixed.
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
Widths are slit from the master roll in one millimetre steps between 10 mm and 150 mm, held to plus or minus 0.5 mm. A width that is not on the list is a slitting instruction, not a new tool, so it does not add lead time once the master exists.
What ships with the goods
Peel and width are measured on the production lot, not on a sample kept from an earlier run. If your incoming inspection uses a different pull speed or dwell time, tell us and we will match it so the two numbers can be compared.
Checking it on arrival
Check the colour in the light the product is sold under. Warehouse fluorescent and daylight will disagree on dark greens and navies, and a lot rejected in one light is often accepted in the other. If it matters, agree the viewing condition before the order, not after.
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.
