Invisible zippers typically come packaged in a few different ways, depending on the manufacturer or supplier:
- Individual Packaging: Some invisible zippers are individually packaged in clear plastic bags or pouches. This packaging often includes information about the zipper’s length, color, and material.
- Bulk Packaging: Manufacturers or suppliers might package multiple zippers of the same length or color together in a larger bag or box. This bulk packaging can be more economical for those purchasing zippers in larger quantities.
- Cardboard Spools: In some cases, longer lengths of zippers might be wound around cardboard spools or reels, providing a convenient way to store and display the zippers. These spools often feature details about the zipper, such as length and color, printed on the packaging.
- Zipper Chains or Rolls: For industrial or bulk purposes, invisible zippers can be supplied in chains or rolls, allowing for custom cutting of the desired length. These are commonly used in manufacturing settings where zippers are cut and installed as needed.
These packaging methods aim to protect the zippers during transportation and storage while providing essential information about the zipper’s specifications for the convenience of the user or seller.
Invisible zippers are typically made from two main materials: nylon and polyester. Here’s a breakdown of each:
- Nylon Invisible Zippers: Nylon zippers are popular due to their flexibility and durability. They are suitable for a wide range of fabrics and garments, including lightweight and medium-weight materials. Nylon invisible zippers tend to be smoother and more flexible, making them easier to sew into garments.
- Polyester Invisible Zippers: Polyester zippers are known for their strength and resistance to shrinking and stretching. They are often used in garments made from heavier fabrics like denim or upholstery. Polyester invisible zippers provide a sturdy closure and can withstand regular use.
Both nylon and polyester invisible zippers come in various colors and lengths to suit different garment designs and color schemes. The choice between these materials often depends on the specific needs of the garment, such as fabric weight, intended use, and the desired level of durability.
