YKK zip 6mm closed end 50cm neon orange

Plastic zipper for your project

This zipper consists of a polyester tape with plastic teeth and matching metal sliders. It's a functional and lightweight zipper in the classic, slightly coarse zipper quality that gives your DIY project both edge and functionality.

How to use the zipper

Functionality is precisely the focus when you use the zipper in outdoor clothing project, e.g. a flight suit or an anorak. 

But you can also use the zipper as a decorative element on your sofa cushion or let it appear as a slightly rough detail on your bag, tablet cover or purse.

Find the colour and length that suits your project - do you want it to match or stand out from the fabric? 

We recommend that you close the zipper before washing.

Know your zipper 

There are many different zippers. Functionally, they can be divided into three categories: the non-divisible with closed end, which is used for example in trousers and dresses. The separable, used for example in jackets and cardigans, where you need your design to open completely and the zipper to split in two. And the split 2-way zipper, used for example in coats, where the fact that it can be opened from the bottom as well as from the top gives extra flexibility. 

This zipper is non-divisible.

All our zippers are nickel-free.
