Back to: Zipper
Zipper is an indispensable part of clothes, bags, tents and various textile products. Its main function is to close and open the fabric, but modern zippers also serve as a decorative detail that completes the design of clothing or a fashion accessory.
Whether it is a plastic, metal or spiral zipper, the right choice and quality of materials are key to durability and functionality.
Zippers come in different types and sizes, tailored for different applications:
Plastic zippers - light and flexible, ideal for jackets, bags and sports products.
Metal zippers - durable and stylish, often used on coats, jeans and leather clothing.
Spiral zippers - a combination of plastic and metal elements, used on jackets and bags of medium weight.
Waterproof zippers - specially designed for sports and hiking jackets, as well as tents.
Decorative zippers - with special sliders, colors or decorative finishes for aesthetics and style.
The zipper has multiple functions:
Practical function - enables quick and easy closing of clothes or bags.
Decorative function – a high-quality and beautifully designed zipper can be a visual accent of clothes.
Replacement and repair – when a zipper breaks, replacing it quickly extends the life of a garment or bag.
When choosing a zipper, it is important to consider:
Type of product - jackets, bags, pants or tents require different types of zippers.
Material – plastic for light clothes, metal for heavier clothes and leather.
Length and size - choose the length that suits the product and the tooth width that ensures durability.
Type of closure - double-sided slider for jackets, one-way for pants or bags.
A quality zipper guarantees that clothes or bags will remain functional and aesthetically attractive for a long time.
In order for the zipper to last a long time, it is important to follow a few simple rules:
Occasionally lubricate the slide with wax or silicone to keep it sliding smoothly.
Do not force the closure when the fabric is tight or there is an obstacle inside.
Wash the clothes according to the instructions, avoid direct contact of the zipper with a hot iron.
High-quality zippers are available in outfit shops, sewing accessories stores and online stores.
In Belgrade and throughout Serbia, you can find plastic, metal, spiral and waterproof zippers in different colors, lengths and thicknesses, suitable for all kinds of clothes and accessories.
