Closed-End Zipper with Soft-Touch Rubber Coating for Luggage
This closed-end 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 soft-touch rubber coating surface, the 32 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
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.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
