This 100 m / 328.08 ft #5 nylon zipper tape set with 50 single-pull sliders is intended for makers who want to build zipper closures around the real dimensions of their products. It works especially well for bag making, pouch production, fabric cases, organizers, utility covers, repair work, custom orders, and small-batch sewn goods.
Instead of selecting a fixed-size zipper for every project, continuous zipper tape allows the closure to follow the shape and access needs of the finished item. A small pouch, a travel organizer, a laptop case, and an equipment cover may all require different zipper lengths. One long zipper-tape set lets a workshop prepare those lengths from the same system.
Make the zipper fit the project
Measure the exact zipper opening before cutting. For bags and cases, include lining thickness, seam allowance, corner transitions, piping, zipper-end finishing, and the amount of access the user needs. The outside dimensions of a product are not always the same as the zipper length required.
A zipper cut too short can make a bag difficult to open. A zipper cut too long may create puckering, excess tape, bulky corners, and uneven seams. Preparing the closure around the actual opening helps make the finished product feel more comfortable, intentional, and professionally made.
A workshop-size supply for bags, cases, and organizers
The 100 m / 328.08 ft tape length provides enough material for workshops preparing regular orders or several product styles. The 50 included single-pull sliders give you a usable hardware base for building multiple closures without buying sliders separately at the start.
Track slider usage as carefully as tape length. A simple pouch may need one slider, while a travel bag with a main compartment, front pocket, internal pocket, and accessory section can require several. Planning both components helps prevent delays when tape remains available but sliders run low.
Single-pull sliders for one-sided access
The included sliders are single-pull sliders for standard one-sided zipper operation. They are useful for bag tops, pouch openings, organizer sections, textile cases, storage covers, equipment bags, luggage compartments, and similar products where the zipper is reached from one accessible side.
For tent doors, sleeping bags, reversible covers, or closures that must be opened from either side, consider a double-pull slider instead. Choosing the slider configuration based on customer use makes the finished product easier and more satisfying to handle.
Test one sample before cutting the full roll
Before cutting many zipper lengths, prepare one sewn test sample using the actual outer fabric, lining, foam, interfacing, binding, webbing, and seam allowance from the project. Check slider travel, coil engagement, opening width, zipper alignment, and whether surrounding fabric interferes with the zipper path.
This is particularly valuable for thick canvas, padded bags, foam-backed cases, multi-layer covers, and heavily lined products. A zipper may feel smooth before sewing but become difficult to operate once the surrounding materials are added.
Finish the cut ends before customer use
Continuous zipper tape needs a secure end finish after cutting. Use suitable zipper stops, sewn ends, folded construction, or another reliable method that prevents the slider from running off the tape during daily use.
The package does not include stops, thread, cutting tools, machines, or extra hardware. Decide how the ends will be finished before cutting a larger production batch, especially when the completed item will be opened often or carry heavier contents.
Choose TPU-coated tape for projects needing more surface protection
This is standard #5 nylon coil zipper tape, not TPU-coated water-resistant zipper tape. For outdoor covers, rain-facing bags, moisture-exposed accessories, or products that need a more protected zipper surface, compare TPU-coated zipper tape before choosing the material.
A more water-resistant zipper surface does not make the entire product waterproof by itself. Fabric choice, seam construction, seam sealing, flap design, lining, pockets, and end finishing all affect wet-weather performance.
Custom zipper tape and branded hardware
For production orders, custom zipper-tape colors, branded pull tabs, logo pullers, single-pull or double-pull slider configurations, and special hardware finishes can be reviewed. Share the product type, zipper-length range, tape-color preference, slider requirements, estimated quantity, and any physical sample or technical reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much zipper tape is included?
The set contains 100 m / 328.08 ft of #5 nylon zipper tape.
How many sliders are included?
The package includes 50 single-pull sliders.
Can I cut the zipper tape for different bag sizes?
Yes. Measure each product’s actual zipper opening and cut the tape to the required length.
Are zipper stops included?
No. Stops, thread, cutting tools, sewing machines, and extra hardware are not included.
Can this set be used for bag making, cases, and repairs?
