#5 Nylon Zipper Chain Kit for Bag Makers & Case Repair Shops – 50 m / 164.04 ft + 25 Sliders ST-0009T10-50M25C

Make the zipper fit the bag or case, not the nearest standard size

Ready-made zipper lengths do not always work for bags, cases, organizers and custom covers. A zipper path can include gussets, curved corners, zipper guards, lining and reinforced areas that make standard lengths impractical.

This #5 nylon zipper chain kit gives bag makers, alteration shops and repair businesses 50 m / 164.04 ft of continuous tape plus 25 sliders. The tape can be cut around the exact working opening of each project.

Who benefits from a 50-meter zipper-chain kit?

This quantity is a practical middle ground for small production runs, repeat repair work and workshops making several product sizes at once. It can support pouch production, tool cases, travel organizers, textile storage covers, sporting-goods bags and similar projects without requiring a high-volume bulk purchase.

The total number of finished zipper runs depends on the length of every opening and on whether each design needs one or more sliders.

How to measure a replacement zipper or new zipper run

Measure from the point where the zipper begins operating to the point where it needs to stop. Do not measure the overall edge of the bag or case unless that entire edge is the actual zipper route.

Account for seam allowance, binding, lining thickness, gusset depth, corner turns and end finishing. For zipper replacement work, lay the new chain alongside the intended seam before cutting. Older bags may have stretched material or shifted lining that makes the old zipper length unreliable as a final template.

Plan the 25 included sliders before cutting

The supplied sliders should be treated as part of the material plan, not as an afterthought. A small zipper pouch may require one slider, while a long case, access panel or two-way bag opening can need more.

Before beginning a batch, write down each item’s zipper length, quantity, slider count and opening direction. This helps maintain control over both tape consumption and available slider stock.

Installation checks for a cleaner result

• Install a slider on a short sample section and check movement before cutting the final tape length.
• Keep both sides of the tape even and parallel while sewing.
• Leave enough clearance around bulky lining, binding and reinforcement layers.
• Confirm the opening direction before stitching the zipper into the product.
• Finish the tape ends so the slider cannot run beyond the intended zipper path.

Choose the appropriate stock level for your shop

For a larger ongoing production schedule, the #5 nylon zipper chain set with 100 m / 328.08 ft and 50 sliders provides more material for recurring work.

For heavy production, larger repair programs or multi-model bag manufacturing, the #5 nylon zipper chain set with 200 m / 656.17 ft and 100 sliders is the higher-capacity option in the same product family.

When a different zipper construction is needed

This product is a standard nylon zipper chain system. Consider another zipper construction when a product specifically requires molded plastic teeth, metal teeth, TPU-coated water-resistant tape or a finished zipper with a particular end type.

The zipper should match the product’s fabric thickness, zipper channel width, expected load, opening frequency and intended use. A zipper that is too large or too light for the construction can affect both appearance and long-term use.

Custom zipper production

For custom zipper production, send the target tape length, zipper size, tape color, slider configuration, estimated order quantity and a bag, case, cover or sample reference. These details help match the zipper configuration to the intended product.
