Open-End Zipper with Anodised Finish for Swimwear
This open-end 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 8# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps swimwear 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, 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.
