Reverse Coil Zipper Sourcing Program for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Sportswear
Reverse Coil Zipper Programme for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Sportswear
This programme covers the full path from a reverse coil zipper 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 12 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around sportswear, 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
- Copper — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Glass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Zinc Alloy — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Nylon — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 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.
