The process
From doubt to order in 4 steps
1
Choose the product
Browse the catalog by family: shoelaces, cords, tapes, elastics, ropes and threads. If you are not sure which fits your application, the guided quote wizard walks you through it — or send us a photo of your product on WhatsApp and we will tell you what it is.
2
Specify (with helpers)
A complete specification has 4 data points: construction, length, color and tip. For length there is the calculator; for color, the 120+ color chart (or your Pantone); for tips, the visual guide. You do not need the technical terms — describe it in your own words and we translate.
3
Get your quote in 24-48 h
Our sales team replies within 24 to 48 business hours with a factory-direct proposal: volume pricing, product minimums and lead time. No commitment.
4
Physical sample → production
Before committing volume you can request a physical sample and approve it mounted on your product. Once approved, production starts — with your color and specification on file for repeat orders.

Units
The units, demystified
This industry sells in units nobody ever explained to you. These are ours:
Gross144 pairs or pieces. The classic textile wholesale unit. If you make 5,000 pairs a month, you need ~35 gross monthly.
Thousand1,000 pieces. Common for cords and packaging components.
SpoolContinuous cord, tape or elastic wound on a spool — typically 100 or 250 meters. Ideal if you cut on your own line.
RollContinuous put-up for tapes and elastics. Length agreed per product.
Box by weightFor industrial processes that consume by kilo, not by piece.
The minimum order depends on the product and degree of customization — we confirm it with your quote, no fine print.
Pricing
What drives your price
We do not publish prices because every B2B price is built from your volume and your specification. But it is not a black box — these are the factors, in order of impact:
Volume
Factor #1. More volume per order or per monthly program = better unit price.
Construction and material
A cored tubular lace does not cost the same as a simple flat one; polyester, cotton and blends carry different costs.
Color
Line colors ship from yarn inventory; a color developed against your Pantone means dedicated dyeing.
Tip type
From heat-cut (the most economical) to acetate, then plastic and metal tips.
Customization and packaging
Private label, special packaging and dedicated put-ups add process.
