Here, we will discuss on some of the tips for purchasing plastic zippers, if buying for the first time.
The performance of the zipper mainly relies on its end-use. Plastic zippers are mainly used in the apparel industry ranging from sportswear, casual clothing, and jackets to denims. It is also widely applicable in making bags and luggage sufficing the outdoor purpose as well.
Depending on the function of the zipper, plastic zippers are categorised into closed end, two way closed end, open end and tw0 way open end. The two way zipper design is appropriate for the projects that need sliders to function from both the sides.
Based on the size of the zipper, plastic zippers are generally available in 3#/4#, 5#/8#/10#. Basically, the zipper size can be found from the back of the zipper slider that is installed on a finished zipper. But SBS zipper provides 20# and 30# plastic zippers for the assignment which needs large sized zipper teeth. However, these large sized zippers are currently available only in zipper chain.
There are different types of tapes for plastic zippers, including mixed colour-tape, polyester fibre tape, etc. The mixed-colour tape, which is prepared with the coloured thread is widely used in projects having decorative and artistic appeal, while the polyester fibre tape is used for the standard plastic zippers.
Here, based on the end-use of the product or the preference of the customers, the sliders are actually processed by either using spray painting technique or electroplating method. The inner cavity of the electroplated slider is rough that might lead to damaging the teeth of the zipper when the slider is moved up and down, while the spray painted slider is smoother on the surface. Thus, it is the spray painted one which is recommended the most for plastic zippers.
