Specifications

The specifications of clothing zippers are usually represented by numbers, such as 3 #, 4 #, 5 #, 7 #, 8 #, 9 #, etc. The larger the number, the larger the size of the Zipper teeth, and the strength and durability of the zipper are correspondingly improved. Zippers of different specifications are suitable for clothing of different thicknesses and styles:

3 # Zipper: It belongs to a relatively thin zipper and is suitable for clothing made of thin fabrics, such as shirts, dresses, underwear, etc. Its Zipper Head is small and the closure is lightweight.

5 # Zipper: It is a commonly used specification with moderate tooth size and strength, making it suitable for various clothing such as jeans, casual wear, jackets, etc. It has a wide range of applications.

7 #, 8 #, and 9 # zippers: These larger sized zippers are usually used for thick fabric clothing or parts that require significant tensile strength, such as winter jackets, hiking clothes, workwear, etc.

Selection and maintenance

Selection method

Consider clothing usage: Choose the appropriate zipper based on the usage scenario and function of the clothing. Choose lightweight, smooth, and durable nylon zippers for sportswear; Leather clothing is suitable for pairing with metal or resin zippers to enhance the overall texture.

Pay attention to zipper quality: Check whether the zipper teeth are neat, smooth, and whether there are missing or crooked teeth; Whether the pulling of the slider is smooth, and whether there are any issues such as lagging or jumping teeth; Whether the upper and lower stops are firm to prevent the pull tab from falling off.

Match clothing color and style: The color of the zipper should be coordinated with the clothing, or choose a zipper that matches the main color tone of the clothing to achieve a unified overall effect; For some fashionable clothing styles, you can also choose zippers with special decorative effects, such as laser zippers, diamond zippers, etc., to increase the fashion sense of the clothing.

Maintenance points

Avoid strong pulling: When opening and closing the zipper, try to maintain a gentle motion to avoid excessive force that may damage the zipper or cause the teeth to fall off.

Preventing zipper rusting: For metal zippers, it is important to avoid contact with moisture and damp environments to prevent rusting. If the zipper shows signs of rust, a small amount of rust remover or pencil lead powder can be applied to the zipper, and then repeatedly pulled several times to restore its smoothness.

Regularly clean the zipper: When cleaning clothing, the zipper should be closed to prevent it from getting tangled or damaged with other clothes during the washing process. At the same time, a soft cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of cleaning agent can be used to gently wipe the surface of the zipper to remove dirt and dust.
