Sprinkle Zipper Tape with Bright Metallic Rainbow Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

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.
We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Aqua Blue Zebra Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

Zebra Zipper Tape with Bright Metallic Rainbow Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold 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.
Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.
We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Sprinkle Zipper Tape with Pink Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.
Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.
We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Metal Anchor Zipper Pull - Size 5 Zip slider
Regular price £1.20Sold 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 allow 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.

Fluorescent Pink Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

NAVY Zebra Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.
Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.

Wine Red Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold 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.
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.

Jade Green Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

Yellow Zebra Zipper Tape with Light Gold Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold 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.

Hot Pink Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

Light Beige Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Pale Pink Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold 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.
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.

**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.

Mint Green Zipper Tape with Light Gold Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.
Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.
We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Orange Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

Beige Zebra Zipper Tape with Light Gold Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.
Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.
We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Zebra Zipper Tape with Dark Rainbow Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold 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.
Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.
We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

NAVY Zebra Zipper Tape with Antique Brass Colour Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.
Once we receive your order and cleared payment, we aim to ship it within 2–3 working days.
We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Pale Pink Zebra Zipper Tape with Silver Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.

Light Beige Zipper Tape with Gunmetal Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

Jade Green Zipper Tape with Light Gold Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £2.50Sold 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.
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.
