Reverse Coil Zipper Sourcing Program for Swimwear Brands: Jeans
Reverse Coil Zipper Programme for Swimwear Brands: Jeans
This programme covers the full path from a reverse coil zipper requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for swimwear brands. 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 jeans, 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 Bluesign
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Acrylic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Nickel Silver — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Aluminium — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- POM Plastic — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
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.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
