Spiral Zippers

Spiral zippers, also known as coil zippers or nylon zippers, are the most commonly used type of zippers nowadays. Reasons for this are their superior strength, while being light and affordable at the same time.

Spiral zippers can be highly customized, by using contrasting coils, tapes and/or stitching. Another possibility, is using metallic looking coil to really stand out. This is available in various finishes, such as for example silver, gold, rose gold, copper, etc.

For the professional sectors, a popular choice are the PU coated spiral zippers. These have a rubber coating on the backside of the zipper (where the puller is usually moved to as well), making them splash-proof. These rubber finishes can be matte or gloss, neutral black or colour matched or even have specific designs or reflective strips.

A slightly different version of the spiral zipper, is the invisible – or concealed – zipper. This type has a modified spiral on the backside and usually a more lightweight tape. Due to their very subtle nature (only the puller, often shaped like a teardrop, is visible), these zippers are often used in women’s clothing.
