Shank Button with Antique Brass Plating for Backpacks
This shank button is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the antique brass plating surface, the 20 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps backpacks 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 zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
