Zipper Slider Sourcing Program for Bridal Studios: Uniforms
Zipper Slider Programme for Bridal Studios: Uniforms
This programme covers the full path from a zipper slider requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for bridal studios. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 50 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around uniforms, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in zipper slider 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 CPSIA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting

FAQ
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
CPSIA documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
