In an industry that often pursues fast production and low costs, Ruiao takes the opposite approach — we focus on creating truly durable, high-performance, and aesthetically pleasing metal zippers.
Whether you manufacture high-end outerwear, functional workwear, or premium leather goods, a zipper is more than just a closure — it reflects product quality and represents the tactile experience of your brand. It must be smooth, durable, corrosion-resistant, and remain like new even after long-term use.
Here’s how we deliver genuinely high-quality Ruiao metal zippers through material selection, structural design, and rigorous testing.
🔩 1. Premium Metal Materials: The Foundation of Durability
Many manufacturers cut corners on raw materials, but Ruiao strictly controls quality from the source. We select high-strength metals to ensure stable structure and strong fatigue resistance.
✅ Brass / Copper Alloy Teeth
- High tensile strength, resistant to deformation and breakage
- Excellent fatigue resistance, suitable for frequent use
- Naturally corrosion-resistant without extra coating
- Ideal for functional or decorative needs
✅ 304 / 316 Stainless Steel
- Suitable for outdoor, waterproof, and high-humidity environments
- Salt spray resistant, rustproof, and highly weather-resistant
- Maintains smooth operation even under high temperature or friction
⚠️ What We Avoid:
Ruiao rejects zinc alloys, low-quality aluminum, or filled metals, which tend to break teeth, jam, fade, and have short lifespans.
⚙️ 2. Enhanced Electroplating: Beauty + Long-lasting Protection
A truly high-quality zipper must not only look good but also withstand long-term wear and friction.
🌈 Ruiao Electroplating Features:
- Multi-layer plating: base layer + nickel / nickel-free layer + color layer + protective layer
- Resistant to fading, peeling, and darkening
- Wide range of colors available: antique brass, gunmetal, rose gold, matte black, silver, etc.
- Custom plating options tailored to your brand
🌿 Safety & Eco-friendliness:
- Optional nickel-free plating, suitable for baby clothing or sensitive skin products
- RoHS compliant: lead-free, cyanide-free, low-VOC processes
🔧 3. Precision Craftsmanship: Not Just Durable but Smooth
A zipper must be sturdy and operate smoothly. We meticulously refine tooth spacing, slider structure, and puller design to ensure effortless use every time.
Ruiao Zipper Performance Details:
- Precisely matched tooth spacing to prevent jams or misalignment
- Anti-jam slider design to enhance smoothness
- Pullers available in stamping, die-casting, laser engraving, and more
- Tape materials include polyester, cotton, nylon, or recycled RPET
- Optional waterproof and fire-retardant tapes for specialized industries
We care not only about “does it work well,” but also “does it feel premium.”
