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.

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!
The zippers were exactly what I needed for my project I’ve ordered before and I was very satisfied. I will order again and again and again.
Looks like a good heavy zipper can't wait to get it sewn in
Fast shipping, great quality zipper and pretty slider. Needed a very long and strong zipper...the pull snapped on so easily!!! Website gives very descriptive details on products which is much appreciated. Thank you!!!! Will be a repeat customer!!! Also pricing is reasonable!!!
