Invisible Zipper with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Footwear
This invisible 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 nickel-free electroplating surface, the 9 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps footwear 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

Standard MOQ is 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.

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.
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.
