When to Choose Continuous Chain

Continuous chain is useful when several finished zipper lengths need to be cut from the same supply. Browse Zipper Chain by the Metre for comparable products.

T9 vs T20

T9 molded plastic and T20 nylon are different zipper systems. Do not assume that sliders or chain components are interchangeable simply because both are used for larger textile applications.

Workshop Pack Selection

Choose pack size by total chain consumption, average finished zipper length and slider count. Smaller packs suit sampling or shorter runs, while larger packs are intended for repeated production.

Waterproof Claims

Some products are specifically recorded as TPU-coated. Not every zipper in this category is waterproof, so check the individual product record before relying on that feature.
