Features & quality

Our divisible zippers are made with UV-resistant plastic teeth and a solid PVC puller. Each model has a core thickness of 4mm, making the zipper both sturdy and close smoothly. The zipper remains reliable even after dozens of opening and closing cycles. Machine washing at a maximum of 30°C is permitted; close the zipper in advance to prevent deformation. Do not use aggressive bleaching agents and dry the zipper at a low temperature or in the air.

Applications & inspiration

Dividable zippers are suitable for countless applications. In home decor, use them for pillowcases, sofa covers and table runners with removable covers. In clothing, they are perfect for dresses, cardigans and jackets, where the zipper provides a subtle accent. Experiment with a contrasting color zipper in a plain cover or tonal in a print fabric. Combine multiple lengths in a patchwork project for a playful visual effect.

Processing tips

For the best finish, work with a zipper foot and a fine needle (no. 70/10). Stretch the zipper evenly into the fabric foot and stitch with a straight stitch just a few millimeters from the teeth. Eliminate shifting by temporarily basting or using light-hold fabric glue. For thicker fabrics, a zipper opening can be lightly pre-cut with a rotary cutter. Finish seams with an overlock or zigzag stitch to prevent fraying.

Maintenance

Our divisible zippers are easy to maintain: close the zipper before washing and clean at a maximum of 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach and high temperature dryers. After washing, you can keep the zipper flexible by lightly washing the teeth with a neutral soap solution and rinsing. If necessary, use a silicone spray for a silent closing.
