Zippers By Gauge
Zipper gauge (also called size or chain size) is the width of the teeth when the zipper is closed. A #3 zipper measures about 3mm across the teeth; a #5 measures about 5mm; a #10 measures about 10mm and is considered heavy duty.
Use gauge to match a replacement zipper to the original, or to pick strength for a new project:
• #2–#3 — lightweight: pouches, coin purses, dresses, children’s garments, fine bags
• #4.5–#5 — medium weight: jeans, jackets, sportswear, pockets, most apparel
• #7–#8 — mid-heavy: outerwear, bags, marine and outdoor projects
• #10 — heavy duty: work jackets, tents, sleeping bags, industrial and leather goods
The slider must match the same gauge and tooth type. If you are unsure, measure the old zipper teeth or send a photo — we can help you choose.

I use a lot of zippers and Zipper Shipper is great. Awesome zippers and fast shipping! Every photo pillow I make has a zipper!!
fast shipping good product
Wide selection, good prices, fast shipping!
Perfect double-sided slider for a reversible fleece. Replacement was surprisingly easy. You may also need to get a zipper stop since the one you remove may not be salvageable.
Perfect replacement for Carhartt coat.
We had a heavy Beekeeper's suite with a broken front zipper. Fixing that zipper would be a major undertaking I was told. ZipperShipper's website to find the pieces needed, pliers to open the bottom of the zipper, inserting the new zipper and closing it with a new bottom stop anda small hammer was all it took to fix the suit.
Thanks folks, 15 minutes well spend and most of the credit goes to you for providing the parts.
I purchased these zippers to make small zipper pouches. They are perfect. I look forward to using them. It’s hard to find zippers in the store’s anymore, since Jo Ann's closed. Now, Zipper shipper is my go to place to find zippers. Good price’s and made in the USA is a win win!
