Reverse Coil Zipper Sourcing Program for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Blouses
Reverse Coil Zipper Programme for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Blouses
This programme covers the full path from a reverse coil zipper requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for sock and hosiery makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 6 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around blouses, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in reverse coil zipper sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
What the programme covers
- Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
- Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
- Sampling, testing and approval against BSCI
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Stainless Steel — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Cotton — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- PU Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Zinc Alloy — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
BSCI documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
