How To Choose Resin/Plastic Zippers


Resin/Plastic zippers are widely used in fields such as clothing, luggage, outdoor products, etc. due to their advantages of lightweight, corrosion resistance, and rich colors. However, the quality of resin zippers on the market varies greatly. How to choose a suitable resin zipper? We can consider comprehensively from aspects such as material, specifications, functionality, durability, etc.
1、 Choose the appropriate type based on its intended use
Resin zippers come in different types and are suitable for different scenarios:
Ordinary resin zipper: affordable price, diverse colors, suitable for daily clothing, household items such as hoodies, cushions, etc.
Waterproof and cold resistant resin zipper: After special treatment, it is anti freezing and water-resistant, suitable for outdoor items such as assault suits, ski suits, diving equipment, etc.
High strength resin zipper: thickened chain teeth, strong load-bearing capacity, suitable for durable products such as travel suitcases and military backpacks.
Invisible resin zipper: almost invisible when closed, commonly used in high-end women's clothing, formal wear, etc., to make clothes more beautiful.
2、 Pay attention to the specifications and details of zippers
Zipper size (specification):
3 #, 4 #, and 5 # are suitable for ordinary clothing such as jackets and pants.
8 # and 10 # are suitable for products with high load-bearing requirements such as bags, tents, etc.
The larger the number, the wider the zipper, and the higher the strength.
Zipper length: Choose the appropriate length according to product requirements to avoid being too long or too short and affecting use.
Pulling head design:
Ordinary Puller: Suitable for daily use.
Self locking zipper (with lock buckle): prevents the zipper from automatically sliding open, suitable for backpacks and outdoor equipment.
Pull ring size: A large pull ring is more convenient to operate with gloves and is suitable for skiing and mountaineering clothing.
3、 Check the quality of the zipper
Material: High quality resin zippers should be flexible and elastic, not easily broken, while inferior products may be brittle, hard, and fragile.
Smoothness: After repeated pulling tests, high-quality zippers should be smooth and without any jamming.
Color firmness: Wipe with a damp cloth to check for fading and avoid affecting the appearance after washing.

Temperature resistance: High temperatures may cause deformation. If used in special environments (such as firefighting suits), high-temperature resistant models should be selected.
