A Full Beginner’s Guide To Custom Bag Hardware Accessories
Fabric builds the main body of a bag, while hardware upgrades its overall grade. Many new brand owners ignore small accessories, which greatly affects customers’ perceived value of your handbags. Below we break down the most commonly customized hardware parts for bags.
1. Main Zipper Options
Three mainstream zipper grades for customized bags:
- Nylon zipper: Low cost, flexible, widely used for casual bags and inner pockets
- Metal zipper: Zinc alloy metal teeth, premium texture, ideal for leather tote bags and cosmetic bags
- Waterproof zipper: For outdoor bags, travel duffels and waterproof backpacks
You can engrave your brand logo on zipper sliders for exclusive customization.
2. Metal Buckles & Adjusters
Shoulder strap buckles, slide adjusters, snap buttons are essential for crossbody bags and backpacks. We offer antique brass, silver, gunmetal matte finishes to match different bag styles. All metal parts can be polished, brushed or plated according to your requirements.
3. Brand Logo Hardware Plates
Metal logo plates are the most popular way to show your brand identity. Available crafts: embossed logo, debossed logo, engraved logo on iron/alloy plates. We can attach metal logos on bag front panels, straps or inner lining.
Key Reminder
All hardware accessories support small batch customization. If you have no fixed hardware style, our design team can recommend matching accessories based on your bag draft and brand tone.
