Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a zipper "Lightweight" without losing strength?
It involves using high-tenacity polyester tapes combined with hollow-core resin teeth or lightweight aluminum alloys. This reduces total weight by up to 30% while maintaining the required reciprocating strength.
Do you support custom OEM branding for pullers?
Yes, we offer full die-casting customization for sliders and pullers, including 3D logo embossing and specialized electroplating finishes to match your brand identity.
How does Gemify ensure color fastness?
We use advanced computerized vat dyeing which ensures a 99% match to Pantone chips and guarantees high color fastness even after 50+ industrial wash cycles.
