Choosing the right Zip can be an important task, as we stock many different Zips that have many different uses! We have over 20 differnt Zip products available, so you can be sure to find the right Zip for the right purpose. The idea of using Zips, is to temporarily attach two pieces of fabric to one another, and depending on the item or garment, different varieties of Zips can be chosen from. In general, Zips are either Closed End or Open End. Closed End Zips are those where the Zip does not open fully, and is most commonly used on items such as trousers, dresses and skirts. Some of the  Closed End Zips that we have available include: Nylon Cushion Zips, YKK Concealed Zips, YKK Dress Zips, and YKK Nickel Trouser Zips. Open End Zips are those where it allows the two pieces of fabric to be separated completely, and are most commonly found in garments such as jackets and coats etc. Some of the Open End Zips that we have available include:
  • YKK Heavy Duty Metal Zips
  • YKK Nylon Open End Zips
  • YKK Plastic Open End Zips.
Other Zips that we have available have more specific uses, for example our YKK Two Way Zips, which are designed so a garment or item can be opened from both ends of the Zip. Another example is the YKK Reversible Zip, which is designed so that the Zip puller can be used on either side of the Zip track itself, so garments or items can be opened from the inside as well as the outside.
