Zipper Chain with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Baby Clothing
This zipper chain is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the nickel-free electroplating surface, the 10# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps baby clothing consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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?
14 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
