Nylon Zipper with Soft-Touch Rubber Coating for Activewear
This nylon 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 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps activewear 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 an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 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.
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
