TRIMS & FASTENINGS / BUYING ANSWER

Preparing a zipper development request.

What information belongs in a zipper request for a textile pet product?

Bring the right
details to the table.

Read the answer.
Review the requirements.
Discuss your project.

THE BUYING ANSWER

Start with a clear definition.

Identify the opening location, usable opening length, access direction and proposed pull arrangement. Ask the supplier to confirm a suitable component and construction. This is a development request, not confirmation that every shown PRETTY reference contains a zipper.

The decision behind the detail.

A longer opening may help access but changes the seam layout. Review the zipper with the actual cover or garment, not as a loose component alone.

PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT

Three details to bring.

Opening purpose
Describe what the zipper must allow access to.
Length and direction
Mark the usable opening and opening direction.
Pull arrangement
State the appearance and operation questions to review.

Check together

  • Check the complete opening on the assembled sample.
  • Inspect end treatment and surrounding seams.
  • Confirm the component's final reference before approval.
