Manufacturer · Fashion & Home Accessories
Zip pullers are ordered wholesale in two ways: as standard styles (metal, rubber and cord pullers without a logo or with minimal personalisation) or as custom pullers with the brand’s logo and shape. For an accurate quote, the manufacturer needs the puller type, size, finish or colour, the type and size of the zip, the logo in vector format and the approximate quantity. Minimum quantities depend on the item.
For garment factories, bag manufacturers and clothing brands, the zip puller is a small but high-volume item – one or more on every product. That is why consistent quality, colour matching between batches and reliable delivery matter most in wholesale orders.
Zip pullers wholesale: standard or custom
| Standard pullers | Custom pullers | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Ready-made shapes | Your shape and logo |
| Mould | Not needed | Made for the style |
| Time to delivery | Shorter, when in stock | Includes drawing, sample and production run |
| Suitable for | Small runs, private labels starting out, repairs | Established brands, collections, corporate orders |
| Branding | Limited (e.g. engraving) | Full – relief, enamel, multicoloured rubber |
Brands often start with a standard puller with a laser-engraved logo and move to their own shape when volumes grow.
What to include in your inquiry
- Puller type – metal, rubber (PVC or silicone), cord, combined.
- Size – length and width in mm or a reference photo.
- Finish or colour – nickel colour (nickel free), gold, antique brass, gunmetal, black; Pantone for rubber and enamel.
- Logo – a vector file (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) and the application method.
- Zip and slider – type, size and a photo of the slider’s eye.
- Attachment – ring, hook, cord loop; whether they are delivered attached.
- Quantity – total and by colour or size.
- Timing – when you need the samples and when the production run.
- Delivery address – country and whether it is a warehouse or a garment factory.
The more complete the inquiry, the faster you receive an accurate quote without follow-up questions.
The ordering process step by step
- Inquiry – you send the information above.
- Proposal – you receive an option for execution, material and attachment.
- Drawing – for custom pullers, a technical drawing with dimensions and logo placement is approved.
- Sample – you check the look, weight, colour and attachment on the actual product.
- Series production – after written approval of the sample.
- Inspection and packing – by quantity, colour and size, according to the needs of your factory.
- Delivery – in Bulgaria or another EU country.
What determines the cost
The cost of wholesale zip pullers cannot be determined without specific parameters. The main factors are:
- material – zinc alloy, brass, steel, PVC, silicone, cord;
- size, thickness and weight;
- complexity of the shape and the need for a new mould;
- number of enamel or rubber colours;
- type of finish;
- method of attachment and whether the pullers are delivered fitted;
- quantity and split by colour and size.
For a specific figure, send a request for a quote with the parameters. If you are not sure about some of them, we can suggest options with different costs and executions.
How to assess the manufacturer
- Samples – whether they offer a sample in the actual material before the production run.
- Colour consistency – whether a repeat order will be in the same tone as the first.
- Range – whether they can also supply zips, rings, cord ends and metal logo plates in a matching finish.
- Communication – whether they answer technical questions clearly and quickly.
- Logistics – delivery to your factory in the EU and packing to your requirements.
Common mistakes in wholesale orders
- Approving from a photo instead of a sample. On screen, colour and size look different. Check the sample on the actual product.
- Unspecified slider. If the puller is designed without knowing the slider’s eye, the attachment may not fit. Send a photo or sample of the zip.
- Too many variants in a small quantity. Splitting the order into many colours and sizes makes production more expensive. Combine where possible.
- Unclear split. State how many pieces of each colour and size you need and how they should be packed – by style, by colour or by factory.
- Late planning. Custom pullers go through drawing, sample and production run. Start the process early enough before sewing begins.
- No master sample. Without a retained approved sample, it is difficult to check whether the next batch matches the first.
Repeat orders and stock
With custom pullers, the mould remains for the style, so a repeat order is simpler than the first – there is no need to go through design again. It is good practice to keep an approved sample from each batch as a master standard for colour and finish and to refer to it in the next order. Plan repeat orders in good time, especially before seasonal collections.
Pullers as part of an overall accessories order
Zip pullers are rarely ordered on their own. They usually go together with zips, rings, eyelets, metal logo plates and labels. If everything comes from one supplier, colours and finishes are easier to coordinate and deliveries are synchronised.
