Waterproof Zipper with Anodised Finish for Gloves
This waterproof 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 anodised finish surface, the 15 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps gloves 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or a compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
