How to pick the best zipper

1. Zipper Singapore SIN HIN CHUAN KEE How to pick the best zipper Zipper Singapore are used in a wide range of projects, from boat covers to pillows and everything in between. However, when it comes to getting a zipper from a zipper supplier in Singapore for those projects, all of the options and variations of zippers can be overwhelming. We get a lot of questions about the various types, sizes, and styles of zipper Singapore, so we're going to compare and contrast the options so you know exactly how to get the perfect zipper from a Zipper supplier in Singapore for your next project. Zipper sizes Let's begin with zipper sizes. Zippers are labelled with a number (for example, #5, #10). These measurements are based on the width of the zipper teeth in millimetres when closed. A #5 zipper's teeth are approximately 5 mm across, a #10 zipper's teeth are approximately 10 mm across, and so on. This makes it simple to choose a size because the larger the size, the larger the zipper teeth. Finished vs. continuous The terms continuous and finished referring to the overall length and style of the zipper. Because they are most commonly found on coats and jackets, finished zippers are also known as 'jacket zippers.' A starter box and pin are located at one end of the zipper tape and stops are located at the other. Sliders are also included with these zippers. Finished zippers are used in applications where the zipper sides must separate completely, such as a coat, a genoa sleeve, or the side panels of a cockpit enclosure. A continuous zipper is an unusual design. These zippers have no beginning or ending point (no starter box or zipper stops). Continuous zippers are typically sewn at both ends of a project, such as a bag, tent, or cushion. Because these zippers do not include sliders, you will need to purchase one separately and attach it to the zipper chain. Locking vs. non-locking The zipper sliders are referred to as 'locking' or 'non-locking.' For both coil and Vislon zipper teeth, locking and non-locking zippers are available. When choosing a slider, make sure it is compatible with your zipper chain in both size and type. A #5 Vislon zipper, for example, will require a #5 Vislon Slider, and so on. Then you can choose whether the slider is plastic or metal and whether it is locking or non- locking.
