Plastic Zipper with Epoxy Doming for Boots
This plastic 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 epoxy doming surface, the 38 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps boots 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
