CUSTOM ZIP UP HOODIES MANUFACTURER
Full-zip hoodies with metal or plastic zippers and rib-knit trims, manufactured in-house with a low minimum order of 50 pieces per style.
Custom Zip Up Hoodies Manufacturing
Star Faith International manufactures full-zip hoodies for streetwear, team, and workwear-adjacent programmes that need a reliable zip closure rather than a pullover construction. Zipper attachment happens on our own line, so tape colour matching and stitch reinforcement around the zip stay consistent across every unit.
A full-zip hoodie's durability depends heavily on how the zipper is set into the front panel. We use a folded, top-stitched zip placket with bar-tacked stress points at the top and bottom of the zip, which prevents the fabric from pulling away from the zipper tape during repeated use.
Why Brands Choose Our Zip Up Hoodies
- Reinforced zip placket — folded, top-stitched construction with bar-tacked stress points at each end of the zip.
- Zipper choice — metal or moulded plastic zippers available, with tape colour matched or contrasted to the body fabric.
- Standard hood and pocket construction — drawcord hood and kangaroo or zippered side pockets as standard.
- Low minimum order — 50 pieces per design and colourway, workable for team and streetwear programmes.
- Full customization — embroidery, DTG, or screen print can all be applied around or aside from the zip line.
Fabric, Fit, and Customization Options
Zip up hoodies are built on 300-380 GSM brushed-back fleece, in 100% cotton or 80/20 cotton-poly blends. We offer regular and oversized fits, with metal or plastic zippers and rib-knit cuff, hem, and hood-drawcord trims.
Common add-ons include zippered or welt side pockets, contrast zip tape and rib trims, embroidered or printed chest and back graphics, and lined hoods for cooler climates. Private label packaging with woven neck labels and polybags can be added.
