1、 Customization types and application scenarios of clothing zippers

Material classification

Nylon Zipper: lightweight, soft, and resistant to bending, suitable for various fabrics such as hoodies, sportswear, and down jackets, with low cost and a wide range of color options.

Metal zipper: with strong texture and durability, commonly made of copper and zinc alloys, suitable for denim, leather clothing, high-end fashion, and the surface can be electroplated (matte, glossy, antique bronze, etc.).

Resin zipper: high hardness, wear resistance, bright colors, suitable for thick fabrics (such as bags, workwear, outdoor clothing), can be customized with special effects such as transparency and fluorescence.

function type

Ordinary zipper, waterproof zipper (suitable for outdoor clothing), Invisible Zipper (pursuing simple design), double opening zipper (commonly used for down jackets and coats), explosion-proof zipper (strengthening load-bearing capacity), etc.

2、 Customization process and key steps

Requirement communication

Clearly define the zipper type, material, length, color (provide Pantone color code or sample), zipper style (regular zipper, customized logo zipper, special styling zipper), tooth type (fine teeth, coarse teeth), and special functions (such as antibacterial and flame retardant).

Provide clothing style pictures or samples to facilitate manufacturers in matching zipper specifications (such as opening direction and stopping position for placket zippers).

Sample making

The manufacturer produces samples according to the requirements (usually 3-7 days), and needs to confirm the smoothness of the zipper, color matching, firmness of the Zipper Head, and compatibility with the clothing.

If you need to customize a logo, you need to provide a vector image (AI/CDR format) and confirm the logo process (etching, die-casting, screen printing, etc.).

mass production

After confirming the accuracy of the sample, sign a contract specifying the delivery date, quality standards, and payment method (usually a 30% deposit is required).

Manufacturer's production process: raw material procurement → wire drawing/injection molding/stamping → assembly → quality inspection → packaging.

Quality Inspection and Delivery

Quality inspection focus: zipper tension test (to prevent tooth breakage), salt spray test (to prevent rust on metal zippers), color fastness test (to withstand washing and friction).

Check the quantity and specifications during delivery, and reserve a small amount of spare zippers (to avoid color difference in supplementary orders).

3、 Key points and precautions for customization

material selection

According to clothing positioning: high-end fashion prioritizes metal zippers (to enhance texture), fast fashion brands can choose nylon zippers (high cost-effectiveness), and outdoor clothing requires waterproof zippers (PU coating treatment).

Environmental requirements: Exporting to Europe and America requires OEKO-TEX certification (no harmful substances), and it is recommended to choose nickel free and lead-free zippers for infant and toddler clothing.

Specification matching

The zipper length needs to be precise to millimeters. If it is too long, it can be cut, but if it is too short, it cannot be used; Pay attention to the clothing style (slim fit styles require narrow zippers, loose fit styles can choose wide toothed zippers).

Pulling head design

Pulling can customize brand logos, letters, and patterns to enhance brand recognition; The size of the zipper pull should be suitable for the comfort of finger grip (such as children's zipper pull should be small and compact).
