In-Depth Analysis: Matching Backs to Your Product Positioning

1. Friction Back (Butterfly Back): The King of Cost-Effectiveness

• Positioning & Application:The core choice for mass-market, fast-fashion, entry-level, or promotional collections. Suitable for almost all basic stud earrings.

2. Screw Back: The Guardian for Children & High-Value Studs

• Positioning & Application:Children’s jewelry lines, high-value single gemstone/diamond studs, and for customers demanding maximum security.
• Бизнес-ценность: The screw-on mechanism virtually eliminates accidental loss, significantly reducing customer complaints. It’s the top choice for creating a safe jewelry for kids product line.

• Positioning & Application:Luxury jewelry lines, haute couture, and large-carat diamond or precious gemstone studs.
• Бизнес-ценность:This dual-button press-and-release mechanism offers top-tier security, sending a message to the customer that “this jewel is worth protecting.” It’s a key component for elevating a product’s perceived value.
• GBAN Manufacturing Tip:This is one of the most technically demanding backs. We have skilled artisans who specialize in its installation and calibration to ensure long-term mechanical reliability.

• Positioning & Application: Mid-to-high-end dangle and hoop earrings.
• Бизнес-ценность:It combines the hook and the back into one integrated, easy-to-use, and very secure design. It’s ideal for daily wear by active users and gives designers more creative freedom.
