Reverse Bale Sliders
Reverse bale sliders are also known as "reverse coil sliders", "reverse sliders" or "backwards sliders." Often, reverse bale sliders will have "RC" marked on the back of them (for "reverse coil"). They are used on reverse nylon coil zippers, and they work differently to standard sliders. Reverse bale sliders attach to the opposite face of the zipper chain (as compared to standard sliders) in order to create an "invisible" zipper effect.
When reverse bale sliders are attached to nylon coil chain, the teeth should be hidden and all you see is the "seam." The pull tab will appear on the invisible side of the zipper and not on the teeth side.
Zipper Shipper stocks reverse bale sliders in #3, #5, #7, #8 and #10 gauges. Locking reverse bale sliders (including auto-lock and flat-lock) are typically used on clothing/garments (jackets, pants, pockets, etc), while non-lock reverse bale sliders are commonly used on bags (backpacks, luggage, coolers, etc.) and on outdoor items.
Zipper Shipper also stocks nylon coil continuous zipper chain in #3, #5, #7, #8 and #10 gauges. Pair any of this zipper chain with its matching reverse bale slider in order to create a reverse coil zipper.
