Custom Hook and Eye — Zinc Alloy with Gunmetal Plating
We supply hook and eye to garment factories and brands, built in Zinc Alloy with gunmetal plating for outerwear and jacket programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is rust resistance, because these sit against skin and get washed, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare GSO conformity with Arabic labelling so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

How we produce it
- Drawing or reference sample review, with size and finish confirmed
- Material selection and a finish sample or strike-off
- Prototype made to the agreed size
- Fit and wash test on the actual garment fabric, then a pre-production sample
- Bulk run with gunmetal plating applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing to your ratio
Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment
- Childrenswear and schoolwear — tested to the destination's safety standard
- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders
Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for EN 71 part 3 for decorative components are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Jebel Ali with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same rust resistance.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 14 working days, and each revision about 3 days.

Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
