Working with MALKOP
Orders and deliveries
What we agree for a new product and keep as the reference for repeat deliveries.
Product specification
More than diameter.
Two similar-looking cords can behave differently in the same machine. That is why the specification also covers yarn, twist and winding.
Open product selection- Fibre and construction
- Fibre composition, Ne / Nm yarn count or tex linear density, number of plies (PLY), S/Z twist direction and turns per metre.
- Machine requirements
- Winding and core dimensions, unwinding method, elongation and the conditions in which the cord will operate.
- Ordering unit
- Weight or length per winding, pieces per pack and the billing unit: kg, piece or pack.
- Product documentation
- The sheet for the specific product and documents for its intended use. Fibre composition alone does not establish the performance of the finished cord.
Purchasing and supply
Before your next delivery
Can I reorder the same product?
Yes. Existing customers can use the order form and purchase history. Identify the specific product or code, rather than just asking for ‘white cord’. Changes to the specification are agreed separately.
What determines batch size and lead time?
The product variant, raw material availability, packaging requirements and production schedule. Batch size, price and delivery date are confirmed per order, not as one promise for the entire range.
How are repeat deliveries arranged?
We start with consumption, shipment size and required date. Planned demand should be distinguished from a confirmed order, particularly when consumption increases seasonally.
When is a new trial needed?
When the fibre, twist, winding, machine or application conditions change. A sample should be assessed in the intended machine and process, not only by visual inspection.
