Buckle with Sandblasted Finish for Bags
This buckle is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the sandblasted finish surface, the 12 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps bags 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. 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?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
