Zippers are everywhere in our daily lives. YKK zipper is far superior to other zipper brands and will outlast non name brand zippers 10 to 1. Our YKK coil zipper is made of a continuous piece of extruded nylon thread that has been formed into chain making it stronger and more flexible for going around corners than a zipper with teeth.

Buying zipper by the yard is the economical, easy way to buy and you always have the right size of zipper for your project. 

Zipper chain is easy to use. It can be cut with regular scissors and the sliders can be easily attached by feeding the chain one side at a time, into the front of the zipper at a 45° angle lining up the ends.

We have a wider tape on our zippers (1 ½”). It is wider than you will usually find. This allows you to use a ½” seam instead of a 3/8” seam which adds to the durability of your project.

Zipper sizes we offer are:

·       # 5 This is a medium weight zipper that can be used in seat cushions, backpacks etc. anywhere a strong durable zipper is needed.

·       # 8 This is a heavy weight zipper which can be used in all the same applications however the “Slider” is larger than the # 5.

·       # 10 This is a “HUGE” zipper. This zipper is used when you want to make a STRONG statement about your project or you are looking for a zipper that will work forever……This zipper will by far outlast any material you sew it to.
