Waterproof Zipper with Anodised Finish for Backpacks
This waterproof 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 anodised finish surface, the 6 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 cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio, or a trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 105 Colour Fastness documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
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.
