How to Choose a Zipper

We carry zippers centered on YKK, including metal, Vislon, and resin (coil) types, as well as pullers. We also stock products from Asahi Fastener, which handles WALDES, SKO Fastener, and LAMPO.

Metal zippers are a good choice when you want to make use of the look created by metal teeth, while Vislon zippers are suitable when you want to take advantage of lightness and corrosion resistance. EXCELLA is suitable for garments and bags that emphasize smoothness and a lustrous finish. Pullers are the parts used to operate the slider, so they can be chosen to match ease of gripping and the impression of the finish. Customer reviews mention smooth opening and closing, the premium feel of metal zippers, and the range of color and type options.

This introduction was written by AI based on product data, reviews and the ApparelX Wiki.

MESS20 Mar 2025
It has a luxurious feel
The opening and closing is extremely smooth.
Since it is used on leather textile, the gold elements on a black background give it a very luxurious finish.

standard and easy to use
There are many color variations, and it is easy to use as a standard product.
I have a color sample book for the tape, so I choose the color according to the textile when ordering.
It opens and closes smoothly and is a product that I would like to continue using in the future.

Supplier's Pick27 Feb 2026
Recommended for those who want to express their brand even with pull tabs!
This is a brass part used for zipper pull tabs.
It has a larger size, and the slight weight may be a drawback, but it is a product number with outstanding presence.
The curves of this item are really beautiful, and it is carefully made, so
if you feel that ordinary sliders are not enough, please give it a try.

Among WALDES zippers, the more attractive antique gold two-way cotton zipper!
Recently in Korea, as the popularity of vintage sewing supplies has been rising, more and more people have come to prefer vintage zippers as well. Among them, the antique gold zipper, with its very attractive zipper teeth color, can be used for outerwear and bags. Also, recently it has become trendy to add design features to outerwear with two-way zippers, and since this zipper is vintage yet visually appealing in design, I recommend it. However, care is needed when post-processing after sewing the zipper. (We recommend not applying strong processing!)

However, care is needed when post-processing after sewing the zipper.
(We recommend not applying strong processing!)

Why not try using this zipper, which lets you feel the charm of vintage details such as the changing color of the zipper teeth over time?

Supplier's Pick9 Jan 2026
The finest metal zipper, hailed as the most beautiful in the world
This Italian-made metal zipper is also called “the world’s most beautiful zipper.”
This Super Lampo is the top-tier line among LAMPO products, and each element is polished individually to create a beautiful luster and an overwhelming presence.
The size 5 open-end zipper is suitable for the front placket of blousons, jackets, and more.
It is a zipper used by many leading luxury brands, so we hope discerning apparel makers will consider using it.
Please feel free to contact us for other specifications or mass production inquiries.

Frequently asked questions

QI selected Lead Time Priority (custom production), but what does custom length processing from longer stock mean?
As for zipper inventory, products other than 2CHC concealed zippers are not stocked in the exact length you specify. For made-to-order production, we can process a longer zipper to make it, which shortens the delivery time but increases the unit price. If you want it processed from longer stock and need it right away, please select "Delivery priority (higher unit price)."

The article below is about coil zippers, but it also explains zipper inventory.
https://apparelx-news.jp/apparel-material/zipper/coil-fastener
QI want to place an order for a color or slider that is not listed on the product page. What should I do?
If you enter your preferred color and slider in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will make the change and arrange it for you.
QHow should I choose between sliders with locks and without locks?
You can determine this from the second letter of the slider product number.
“A” = automatic lock (the slider locks automatically when you let go of the pull tab, and unlocks when you pull the pull tab)
“F” = non-lock (a slider with no locking function, regardless of the position of the pull tab on the body)
“N” = notch lock (a notch is attached to the shoulder of the body, and it locks when opened by bringing the chain against the shoulder)
“W” = reversible (pull tabs are attached to the front and back, so it can be opened from either side)
“U” = reversible (an automatic slider with one pull tab that can move along the rotating rail and can be opened and closed from either the front or back.)
QIs it possible to order only the slider for a YKK zipper?
Basically, we are unable to accept orders for sliders only, but it is possible to arrange them if they are ordered together with a chain zipper or used for a zipper previously purchased from APPARELX.
In that case, please contact us via the contact form on the Support Page with the type and size of the YKK zipper you purchased, the slider color, the slider product number, and the quantity. We will reply after confirmation.
QI would like to order a two way separator zipper with different sliders on the top and bottom. How should I do that?
If you note the desired upper and lower sliders in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will change them to the sliders you want and arrange the order accordingly.
