Zipper Puller Sourcing Program for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Bedding Sets
Zipper Puller Programme for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Bedding Sets
This programme covers the full path from a zipper puller requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for towel and bathrobe mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 10# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around bedding sets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in zipper puller 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 GB 18401
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- TPU — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Acrylic — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- POM Plastic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Ceramic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

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.
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.
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.
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.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
