Brand positioning and origin

XINFA is a zipper brand based in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, a textile region with a large base of fabric mills and garment converters. The brand concentrates on nylon coil and invisible zippers, which are the constructions most closely tied to the light apparel and womenswear production around it.

Its scale is mid-sized rather than global, and its advantage is proximity: short runs, fast colour development and direct communication with the factories that consume the zippers. Buyers use brands like this when a programme needs flexibility rather than the formal systems of the largest groups.

Product range

The range is concentrated on coil constructions:

  • Nylon coil zippers in #3, #4, #5 and #8, closed-end, open-end and two-way.
  • Invisible coil zippers in #3 and #4 for dresses, skirts and trousers.
  • Long-chain coil supply for factories that cut and fit sliders in-house.
  • Water-repellent coil versions with coated tape for light outerwear.
  • A broad tape colour card, with matching or contrast thread options.

Typical applications

XINFA articles are used in womenswear, knitwear, shirts and blouses, trousers, skirts and dresses, underwear and loungewear, and light jackets. The invisible range is common in dresses and skirts produced in the region's small and medium factories, where short runs and frequent colour changes are normal.

Quality and compliance

Coil articles are checked for slider smoothness, coil recovery, tensile strength and colourfastness to washing, rubbing and light, with strength references to ASTM D2061-style methods. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 documentation is available for many apparel articles. Any test report or certificate for a specific article is subject to the supplier's certificates.

Sourcing notes

Mid-sized coil producers typically accept low minimum order quantities per colour and quote quickly, which suits short fashion cycles. Sampling takes about one to two weeks, and bulk production 20 to 35 days. Long-chain supply is cheaper per metre but requires the factory to own cutting and slider equipment. Buyers should lock colour standards before bulk, since small dye lots can vary.
