Zipper Tape with Mercerised Finish for Trousers
This zipper tape is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the mercerised finish surface, the 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps trousers 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash, or a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

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 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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
