This 100 m / 328.08 ft N5 / #5 nylon coil zipper chain set with 50 single-pull sliders is a workshop supply for makers who need repeatable zipper components but do not want to rely on many fixed-length ready-made zippers. It can support bag collections, organizers, fabric cases, utility pouches, protective covers, textile accessories, repair work, and custom production orders.
With continuous zipper chain, the zipper length follows the real product design. A compact organizer pocket may need a short zipper, while a travel case, equipment cover, or bag opening may need a longer closure. Using one consistent zipper system across different product sizes can simplify stock planning and help create a more uniform finish across the collection.
Why use a 100 m / 328.08 ft zipper-chain set?
This quantity is suitable for workshops that produce regularly and need more flexibility than smaller starter packs provide. It can support multiple product patterns while reducing the need to purchase ready-made zippers in many different lengths.
The set includes 50 single-pull sliders, so you can begin building custom closures without sourcing sliders separately for the first production run. Plan both chain consumption and slider use before cutting. A bag with a main opening, inside pocket, and accessory compartment may require multiple sliders even when the zipper-chain length remains sufficient.
Single-pull sliders for standard one-sided operation
The included sliders are single-pull sliders, made for closures operated from one accessible side. They can be used for bag openings, organizer sections, case lids, luggage compartments, textile covers, storage products, and equipment bags where a second pull tab is not required.
For tent doors, sleeping bags, reversible covers, or products that need access from both sides, select a double-pull slider instead. The most suitable slider configuration depends on how the finished item will be opened, carried, and used.
Measure the actual zipper path before cutting
Measure the real zipper opening from the intended start point to the intended end point. Include seam allowance, lining depth, corner transitions, binding, piping, zipper-end finishing, and the access width needed for comfortable use.
Do not use the outside measurement of a bag or case as the zipper length automatically. A zipper cut too short can limit access. A zipper cut too long can cause extra bulk, uneven seams, puckering, and difficult finishing around corners. A short sample sewn with the real material stack can prevent repeated production errors.
Test zipper performance after sewing
Before cutting a large number of pieces, test one slider and a short section of zipper chain using the actual outer fabric, lining, foam, interfacing, webbing, and seam allowance. Check coil engagement, slider travel, opening width, alignment, and whether any material layers interfere with the zipper path.
This is especially important when working with thick canvas, padded cases, foam-backed bags, layered covers, heavy lining, or reinforced seams. A zipper can move freely before sewing yet become tight once surrounding materials are added.
Finish zipper-chain ends securely
Continuous zipper chain needs a secure end finish after cutting. Depending on the product, use suitable zipper stops, sewn ends, folded tape construction, or another reliable finishing method that prevents the slider from running off the zipper chain.
Zipper stops, thread, cutting tools, machines, and other accessories are not included in this set. Plan the finishing method before preparing a larger production batch, particularly for products that will be opened often or used under heavier load.
Standard nylon coil zipper chain, not TPU-coated tape
This is standard N5 / #5 nylon coil zipper chain. It is not TPU-coated water-resistant zipper tape. For weather-exposed covers, outdoor gear, moisture-prone bags, or projects that need a more protected zipper surface, compare TPU-coated zipper tape before choosing the final zipper system.
A more water-resistant zipper surface does not make the finished item waterproof by itself. Shell material, seam sealing, flap construction, end finishing, lining, pockets, and complete sewing construction all affect moisture performance.
Custom zipper-chain and branded hardware requests
For larger production requirements, custom zipper-tape colors, slider configurations, branded pull tabs, logo pullers, special finishes, and project-specific zipper systems can be reviewed. Share the product type, target zipper-length range, preferred tape color, slider requirement, estimated quantity, and any reference sample.
