What Is a 50 cm / 19.69 in Type 5 (#3) Nylon Closed-End Blue Zipper Used For?
A 50 cm / 19.69 in Type 5 (#3) nylon closed-end blue zipper is used for cardigans, vests, sweatshirts, fleece garments, light outerwear, textile accessories, pockets and fixed-bottom openings.
The blue color creates a visible and functional closure line on blue-toned fabrics, sportswear, children’s clothing, fleece garments, sweatshirts and light outerwear designs.
Where Does the 50 cm / 19.69 in Length Work Best?
The 50 cm / 19.69 in length can be used in children’s and adult cardigans, vests, fleece garments, sweatshirts, light outerwear, sports tops, half-zip openings, large pockets and auxiliary textile compartments.
This length offers a longer closure area than short pocket zippers while keeping the zipper in the closed-end zipper group.
Closed-End Zipper Structure
A closed-end zipper has a fixed bottom end. When the zipper is opened, the left and right zipper tapes do not separate completely.
This structure is practical for half-zip sweatshirts, fleece garments, fixed-bottom cardigan details, vest pockets, outerwear pockets, textile cases and auxiliary compartment closures.
Use in Cardigans, Vests and Light Outerwear
In cardigan and vest production, this zipper is better suited for fixed-bottom openings or half-zip designs rather than fully separating front closures.
It can also be used on fleece garments, sweatshirts, light jackets, children’s outerwear, sports tops, front pockets, side pockets and auxiliary openings.
Blue Color
The blue color works well with navy, blue, light blue, grey, white, ecru, denim, fleece and sportswear fabrics. It can be selected for tone-on-tone matching or for a visible colored zipper detail.
When the zipper remains visible on the finished product, blue can create a sporty, clean and distinctive closure appearance.
Type 5 (#3) Nylon Zipper Structure
Type 5 (#3) nylon zipper structure is preferred for light and medium-weight textile products where a flexible closure line is needed.
Nylon teeth feel lighter and softer than metal teeth, making them practical for cardigans, vests, fleece garments, sweatshirts and light outerwear designs.
Difference from a Separating Zipper
This product is a closed-end zipper. When fully opened, the two zipper tapes do not separate from each other at the bottom.
For fully opening jackets, coats, parkas, cardigans or vests, an open-end separating zipper should be selected. This product is better suited for fixed-bottom cardigan, vest, sweatshirt, fleece, pocket and auxiliary closure areas.
Use in Workshops and Repairs
This zipper can be used in small workshop production, boutique sewing, hobby sewing, repair work, replacement zipper applications and made-to-measure textile projects.
When choosing the zipper, the real closure length, fabric thickness, bottom-end structure, color match, tooth type and sewing line should be evaluated together.
