ABOUT NYLON COIL ZIPPERS
Known for their durability and flexibility, Nylon Coil Zippers are a great option for projects where strength is required. Their zipper teeth are made of nylon, a strong but flexible material, and constructed in a "coil" shape that locks together securely and tolerates horizontal stress well. The nylon's flexibility allows the zipper to curve without breaking, making these zippers suitable for garments, bags, luggage, outdoor gear, upholstery, and more.
Separating Zippers Vs. Non-Separating Zippers
Nylon Coil Zippers are available in two styles: separating and non-separating. Separating zippers, also known as jacket zippers, come apart at the bottom for use on projects like jackets, coats, robes, or other projects that require the zipper to open completely. Non-separating zippers, on the other hand, do not separate completely and are commonly used for items like pants, skirts, dresses, bags, and upholstery.
Nylon Coil Zipper Weight
In addition to a zipper's style and color, zipper weight is another important factor to consider when choosing a zipper for your project. A zipper's weight refers to the width of the teeth—a lower number indicates that the teeth are narrower, and higher numbers represent wider zipper teeth. Generally, it's a good idea to use lighter zippers with lighter fabrics and heavier zippers with heavier materials.
YKK® Nylon Coil Pant/Skirt/Dress Zippers are available in three tooth sizes:
#3 Nylon Coil Zippers are our lightest nylon coil non-separating zippers, most frequently used for skirt and dress closures because of their more subtle appearance. These zippers are great for lightweight fabrics and great for items like fine pant zippers and small purse or handbag closures. To see all the available colors of our #3 Nylon Coil Zippers, check out the color chart below.
#4.5 Nylon Coil Zippers are lighter medium-weight zippers and the most popular weight for handbags and purses. These non-separating zippers are also a great choice for skirts and dresses with heavier fabric and as lighter zippers on slacks or trousers.
If you're looking for a standard medium-weight zipper, #5 Nylon Coil Zippers are just what you need. These versatile medium-weight zippers are the standard weight for pant zippers and are also applicable for handbags, boots, luggage, and many other projects.
As our heaviest non-separating nylon coil zipper, #8 Nylon Coil Zippers are an excellent closure for projects with heavier materials. These sturdy and flexible #8 zippers are a great choice for boots, pants, luggage, and outdoor textiles.
