ZIPPER PULLER

The zipper Puller has become one of the most used inventions in the world. However, it was only in the 1930’s that this staple began to find its way in apparel and gained popularity thanks to the Prince of Wales and several French fashion designers.

Today, zippers have been used to make bold fashion statements as well as improve the functionality of a garment. Dependable and reliable zippers are worth their weight in gold as they can often make or break an outfit.

In this blog post, we take a look at a large variety of zippers and highlight the types you should be using for your garments in order to get a seamless finish.

Coil zippers are a lightweight zip with coiled nylon or polyester teeth. Its construction makes it very flexible meaning it is a great choice for knit jackets or other light garments and clothing. In comparison to molded plastic or metal, the design of the teeth is very subtle which makes it a perfect option for bags and pockets where you don’t want the zipper to stand out. Coil zippers tend to be one of the most popular options for most garments.

Moulded plastic zippers have the teeth moulded into the zipper tapes. This shape causes them to be slightly stiffer than a coil zipper, which whilst might not be ideal for every project, they can be great for children’s clothing. Moulded plastic zippers are also a more cost-effective solution for up-and-coming designers.
