Zippers By Material
Choose zippers by material when you already know the tooth type you need. Nylon coil zippers are the most versatile “universal” option — flexible, color-rich, and suitable for garments, bags, and many repairs. Molded plastic zippers are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and a strong choice for outdoor, marine, and kids’ gear. Metal zippers (brass, antique brass, nickel, aluminum, gunmetal) add strength and a classic look for jeans, jackets, leather, and workwear. Invisible and reverse-coil zippers hide the teeth for dresses, skirts, pillows, and performance wear. Water-resistant coil zippers add a polyurethane-coated tape for wet-weather use.
Zipper sliders are material-specific. A coil slider will not run on metal teeth, and a metal slider will not run on molded plastic. Shop the matching slider collection after you choose the chain or finished zipper.
