Solid Star Pull - Size 5 Zip slider

£1.20

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sold by individual zip pull.

This zip slider is made specially to fit our own brand #5 continuous zip although it might fit other makes of #5 continuous zips.

The metal alloy zip pull is non-locking and with a dangle style pull in shiny metal finish. You can put this slider pull from either size of our continuous zip to make double pull zip.

If you are unsure about the size, please contact us before purchase.

To install the zip pulls to the zipper:

1) Open one end of the zipper by a few inches, as the coil works both ways, it doesn't matter which end you open.

2) Holding the zipper pull, with the round side down, slide one side of the zipper tape up into the slider. Don't pull it all the way through, stop just when it catches inside. Hold this with one hand.

3) Slide the other side of the tape up into the slider with the other hand. Once you feel the resistance from the other tape, gently push both tape through the pull with equal pressure. Once you can see both tape emerge from the other end of the pulls with teeth locked in place correctly, you can firmly pull the zipper pull down.

Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.

Zebra Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip

Zebra Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip

£3.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sold by the metre.

This is a nylon zip with #5 coil. The zipper have the appearance of metal teeth. Perfect for bag making or applications where heavier zipper is needed. These are continuous zipper coil, and you can put zipper pulls on from either direction to make double-pull zippers. Cut them as long or as short as needed.

Each metre of tape comes with ONE rectangular zipper pull. Additional zipper pulls can be purchased from our shop. Zipper pulls are available in many different styles.

You can now coordinate your zipper tape with your fabric and match your nylon coil teeth with your bag hardware. Nylon teeth coil is easy to cut and sew too.

**NOT SUITABLE FOR BAG PATTERNS THAT REQUIRED SNIPPING OF THE ZIPPER TAPE TO FIT AROUND A CURVE / CUTTING TO REDUCE THE ZIPPER TAPE WIDTH TO REDUCE BULK- This is not a manufacturing fault, it is just the way this zipper tape is woven. If snipping on the tape is required by your pattern, it will breakdown the weave on the tape and hence the tape will unravel and will come off the seam**

To install the zip pulls to the zipper:

1) Open one end of the zipper by a few inches, as the coil works both ways, it doesn't matter which end you open.

2) Holding the zipper pull, with the round side down, slide one side of the zipper tape up into the slider. Don't pull it all the way through, stop just when it catches inside. Hold this with one hand.

3) Slide the other side of the tape up into the slider with the other hand. Once you feel the resistance from the other tape, gently push both tape through the pull with equal pressure. Once you can see both tape emerge from the other end of the pulls with teeth locked in place correctly, you can firmly pull the zipper pull down.
