#5 Nylon Zipper Chain Trial Kit for Bags & Cases – 20 m / 65.62 ft + 10 Single-Pull Sliders ST-T10T-NAYLON-20M10C

For bag and case projects that need custom zipper lengths

Ready-made zipper sizes are often not the best fit for bags, cases, organizers and textile covers. A bag may have a deep gusset, a case may have long rounded corners, and an organizer may have several compartments with different zipper routes.

This #5 nylon zipper chain trial kit provides 20 m / 65.62 ft of continuous tape and 10 single-pull sliders. It is designed for sample work, repairs and small-batch projects where the zipper should follow the actual opening rather than the nearest standard length.

Who is this 20-meter trial kit for?

This quantity is suitable for bag makers, sewing studios, case-repair shops, alteration businesses and DIY users who need more than a short test sample but do not need a high-volume workshop roll.

It can be used to test different zipper lengths, sewing layouts, end finishes and slider positions across several product styles. The number of finished zipper runs depends on the length of each opening and the number of sliders required per design.

Measure the functional zipper path before cutting

Measure from where the zipper begins operating to where it needs to stop. Do not use the full outer edge of a bag or case unless that entire edge is the functional zipper route.

Include seam allowance, lining thickness, gusset depth, edge binding, rounded corners, zipper guards and the planned end treatment in the measurement. For replacement work, test-fit the new chain along the intended seam before cutting because older materials may have stretched or shifted over time.

Single-pull sliders for one main access side

The kit includes single-pull sliders. One pull tab is positioned on one side of the slider body, which suits zippers normally accessed from one main exterior face of a pouch, case, bag or organizer.

Single pull describes the pull-tab layout, not the direction the zipper travels. A product that needs easy access from both faces can require a different slider structure. Select the slider based on actual handling, product orientation and zipper-opening design.

Test before sewing multiple zipper runs

• Install one slider on a short chain sample before cutting final lengths.
• Check that both sides close evenly with no gap behind the slider.
• Keep both tape sides straight and evenly tensioned while sewing.
• Leave clearance around lining, binding, gussets and reinforcement layers.
• Finish both chain ends so the slider stays within the intended zipper path.

Planning your next workshop stock level

Once the chain profile, slider structure and sewing method have been confirmed, a standard production set or separate tape-and-slider inventory can be more efficient for regular work. The zipper types and models collection can help compare available zipper families before expanding your stock.

For slider comparisons, use the zipper sliders collection. Choose a slider only after confirming the chain profile and intended opening method of the finished product.

Custom zipper requests

For custom zipper supply, provide the requested tape length, zipper size, tape color, slider configuration, intended product type, estimated quantity and any reference sample. These details help match the chain-and-slider arrangement to the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a finished zipper set with ready ends?

No. It is continuous #5 zipper chain. The final length, slider placement and end finishing are prepared by the workshop or maker.

Does the kit include sliders?

Yes. It includes 10 single-pull sliders with 20 m / 65.62 ft of nylon zipper chain.

Can I use this kit for bag zipper repair?

It can be suitable when the original zipper profile, sewing construction and required use are compatible with #5 nylon zipper chain. Test the fit before completing the repair.

What does single pull mean?

It means the slider has one pull tab on one side of its body. It does not mean the zipper can move in only one direction.

Can this be used for cases and organizers?

Yes, when the zipper channel, material thickness, product load and opening design are suitable for a #5 nylon zipper system.

Will this zipper chain make a bag waterproof?

No. This is standard nylon zipper chain, not a waterproof or water-sealed system. Water protection depends on fabric, seams, zipper coverage and the complete product construction.
