Plastic Zipper with Epoxy Doming for Luggage
This plastic zipper is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the epoxy doming surface, the 15 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps luggage 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 trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested, or cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
