51 cm / 20.08 in T6 Crocodile-Tooth Molded Plastic Sweatshirt Zipper, Open-End Separating EPR0051T6TMS

Where Is a 51 cm / 20.08 in T6 Crocodile-Tooth Sweatshirt Zipper Used?

A 51 cm / 20.08 in T6 crocodile-tooth molded plastic sweatshirt zipper is used on garments that require a fully opening front closure, such as sweatshirts, hoodies, children’s jackets, short cardigans, vests and light outerwear.

The open-end separating structure allows the two zipper tapes to separate completely at the bottom. This makes the zipper suitable for garments that are put on and removed from the front.

Crocodile-Tooth Molded Plastic Appearance

The crocodile-tooth style has a more pronounced and characterful tooth appearance than a standard molded plastic zipper. It gives the zipper line a stronger, sportier and more visible look on the garment.

This tooth style can be selected when the zipper is expected to support the design visually, not only function as a closure component.

What Does Open-End Separating Mean?

An open-end separating zipper has a separating bottom system that allows both zipper tapes to come apart completely. It is used on jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, cardigans, vests and similar garments where the front opening needs to separate fully.

Closed-end zippers are used when the bottom end must remain fixed, such as pockets, trousers, skirts, bag compartments or fixed-bottom applications. This product is for garments with a fully opening front.

51 cm / 20.08 in Length

The 51 cm / 20.08 in length can be used for short and medium front openings. It is suitable for children’s jackets, short hoodies, short cardigans, vests, sports tops, small-size outerwear and light jackets.

Before choosing the zipper, the real front opening length of the garment pattern should be checked together with the neckline, bottom hem, rib area, seam allowance and fabric thickness.

T6 Zipper Type

This product belongs to the T6 zipper group. It is a molded plastic sweatshirt zipper designed for garments where a visible tooth line and practical opening-closing performance are needed.

The T6 structure and crocodile-tooth appearance create a sporty zipper line, especially on hoodies, children’s jackets, vests, cardigans and casual outerwear.

Use on Sweatshirts and Hoodies

This zipper can be used on front-opening sweatshirts and hoodies. It is suitable for sportswear, casualwear, children’s clothing and relaxed outerwear designs.

For hooded garments, the neckline, hood join, rib section, front opening length and seam allowance should be evaluated together for a clean zipper placement.

Use on Children’s Jackets, Short Cardigans and Vests

The 51 cm / 20.08 in length can be used on children’s jackets, baby and children’s vests, short cardigans and light outerwear designs.

The separating bottom system allows the garment to open fully from the front, making it suitable for wearable outerwear pieces rather than fixed-bottom zipper applications.

Sewing and Selection Notes

When selecting the zipper, the actual garment opening length should be measured, not only the nominal zipper length. For replacement work, the old zipper should be measured from the top stop area to the bottom separating box.

During sewing, both zipper tapes should be aligned evenly at the neckline and hem. If the zipper tape is stretched too much, the front panel may become wavy; fabric, lining, rib thickness and seam allowance should be evaluated together.

Product Type Clarification

This product is a single-slider open-end separating crocodile-tooth molded plastic sweatshirt zipper. It is not a closed-end zipper, invisible zipper, trouser zipper, pocket zipper, zipper chain by the meter or two-way separating combi zipper.

If the bottom end of the zipper must stay fixed, a closed-end zipper should be selected. For longer hoodie or jacket designs, longer open-end or two-way separating zipper options can be evaluated.
