Custom Hook and Eye in Nickel-Free Alloy with Die-Casting for Childrenswear and Schoolwear

Custom Hook and Eye — Nickel-Free Alloy with Die-Casting

We supply hook and eye to garment factories and brands, built in Nickel-Free Alloy with die-casting for childrenswear and schoolwear. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is closing force, so the hook holds under strain without opening, 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: shade variation within one carton, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

How we produce it

1. Drawing or reference sample review, with size and finish confirmed
2. Material selection and a finish sample or strike-off
3. Prototype made to the agreed size
4. Fit and wash test on the actual garment fabric, then a pre-production sample
5. Bulk run with die-casting applied under controlled settings
6. 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 CPSIA lead and phthalate testing are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe 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 closing force.

FAQ

Do you ship to our forwarder?

Can you match a reference sample?

Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
