Custom Development

Custom buttons and zippers, developed to your specification.

What we customise, how development works, and the quality standards we support -- everything worth knowing before a project begins.

Custom metal buttons and zippers development
How It Works

From brief to bulk -- six clear steps.

A structured development path that reduces back-and-forth and confirms every specification before production begins.

01

Share your brief

Garment reference, finish direction, logo file or reference photo. A rough idea is a valid starting point.

02

Development review

We assess material suitability, finish feasibility and production cost before recommending a path forward.

03

Sample development

China office produces physical samples. Custom shapes requiring new tooling are confirmed and costed before proceeding.

04

Sample confirmation

Sent to your team or factory for approval. Bangladesh office handles factory-side confirmation locally.

05

Specification lock

Finish, size, logo, material and packaging locked for bulk. No ambiguity going into production.

06

Bulk & delivery

Production against confirmed specs with quality checking before dispatch -- to your warehouse or direct into Bangladesh factories.

What We Customise

Customisation parameters by product category.

The key parameters buyers and product teams need to specify before sampling -- covering both product categories we develop.

Supported for EU and US market requirements across metal buttons, hardware and zipper components.

  • Lead-free and nickel-free options available
  • Test documentation on request
Chemical Compliance

Azo-free & REACH

Chemical compliance for metal trim coatings, paint fill and zipper tape dyestuffs.

  • Azo-free support for coatings and tape
  • Supplier documentation for brand audits
Functional Testing

Pull test & strength

Performance testing for snap buttons, jeans buttons, rivets and attachment hardware before bulk.

  • Pull and tack strength testing
  • Results against brand-specified values
Production Safety

Needle detection

Metal detection support for factories requiring trim components to pass checks before sewing.

  • Applicable to buttons, snaps, rivets and eyelets
  • Coordination with Bangladesh factory standards
Appearance Consistency

Finish matching & colour fastness

Visual consistency between sampling and bulk, including plating shade and surface texture.

  • Bulk checked against approved sample
  • Colour fastness testing available
Documentation

Test reports & declarations

Supporting documentation for brand compliance programmes and buying office requirements.

  • Third-party test reports on request
  • Material declarations and origin documents
Working With Us

No surprises. Just clear timelines and honest numbers.

We know your development calendar is tight. Here's exactly what you can expect when working with Feili -- so you can plan with confidence from day one.

Sample Quantity As many or as few as you need

We don't enforce a sample MOQ. Whether you need two pieces for an internal review or a full set for factory sign-off, we work around your development process -- not the other way around.

Bulk MOQ Aligned to your project, not a price list

Minimums vary depending on product type, customisation depth and tooling requirements. We discuss everything openly before you commit -- so there are no unexpected thresholds when you're ready to move forward.

Sample Lead Time 7 - 21 days, confirmed upfront

Standard finishes are typically ready in 7 - 10 days. Custom finishes or new constructions take 14 - 21 days. If tooling is involved, we tell you the exact timeline before development begins -- no guessing.

Custom Tooling Your design, made manufacturable

Unique button shapes and branded puller designs require dedicated mould development. We walk you through cost and lead time in full before any work starts -- so your design vision stays on budget and on schedule.
