Continuous Zipper Chain
Shop continuous zipper chain — also called zipper by the yard or zipper tape — cut to the exact length you need. Continuous zipper chain is unfinished zipper material: it arrives zipped, with no slider and no top or bottom stops. You add the slider and finish the ends yourself, which makes it the most flexible way to build closed-end zippers in hard-to-find lengths.
Zipper Shipper stocks zipper chain by the yard in nylon coil, molded plastic, metal (brass, antique brass, aluminum), invisible/concealed, metallic coil, water-resistant coil, and fire-retardant Nomex® styles. Gauges range from lightweight #2/#3 chain for pouches and garments to heavy-duty #8 and #10 chain for upholstery, marine canvas, tents, and industrial work.
How to order zipper chain
- Open the individual product page for the chain style you need (for example #5 nylon coil or #10 brass).
- Select the color first, then choose the number of yards. Yardage options are listed on that product page.
- Most continuous zipper chain is sold on a roll, with a minimum of 3 yards or 5 yards depending on the style. Individual single-yard cuts are not offered.
- Many styles discount at 10+ yards and 100+ yards. A full roll is typically 100 yards.
- Add a matching zipper slider (sold separately). Sliders must match both the gauge and the tooth type (coil, molded plastic, or metal).
- Create stopping points by sewing over the chain or by installing zipper top stops and bottom stops (also sold separately).
What zipper chain is — and is not
Continuous zipper chain is for closed-end applications only. You cannot make a separating jacket zipper from zipper chain, because chain has no pin-and-box. If you need a zipper that comes apart at the bottom, shop finished separating zippers instead.
Workrooms use zipper by the yard for upholstery, outdoor cushions, pillows, bags, bedding, and any project that needs a zipper longer than standard stock lengths. Matching sliders, stops, and wholesale pricing are available on most styles.

I really like these zippers.
Very pleased with the zippers
Heavy duty and zips smoothly. If need new zippers for jackets again will order from here again
Quickly answered and resolved issue and ship was very quick.
color matched a better zipper than what was there
This is just what I was looking for and could not find it in any of the fabric or department stores near me.
I was able to repurpose a jacket! Thanks!
I bought this zipper to repair a couch cushion and it works great.
I was very pleased with the three zippers that I ordered. All three were seperating zippers and I had no trouble putting them in the jackets.
I can't always find the color or the size that I need in a store where I live so being able to order one or tweenty zippers at a time is great. Thank You.
Attractive, sturdy zipper pull, fairly simple to thread onto zipper tape!
Great customer service, great products
Great zippers.
Many times in the last ten years I have ordered zippers from Zipper Shipper and have never been disappointed! They are well made and I'm especially pleased that they are made in the U S. The price is reasonable and I know that I can get them quickly.
I received the wrong item that first came to me, but Laura made it right very quickly. I will be ordering from them again, when more supplies are needed.
Plus it arrived right on time!
