Royal British Legion Poppy Zip Puller Pack of Two

Product Information

Double zipper sliders are somewhat similar to reversible sliders in that they work from both sides. However, instead of having a pull tab that moves from one side to the other, they have two tabs - one on each side.

For one, they are heavier than their plastic counterparts - keep this in mind when making lighter-weight garments or projects. For example, a metal zipper won't pair well a chiffon! Non-separating zippers don't come apart completely. Sometimes the bottom of the zipper doesn't come apart and sometimes both the top and bottom remain attached. Now that you know the anatomy of a zipper, let's take a look at the different zipper options available. There are 4 primary types of zippers, all of which can be found in both separating and non-separating varieties. Most zippers can be separated into 2 overarching categories: separating zippers and non-separating zippers. If you need to find a replacement zipper for a garment or other item, you'll need to determine the size and type of the original zipper so you can find an appropriate replacement.

A head-to-head zipper is a type of two-way zipper with sliders that are facing towards each other on the tape. To close a head-to-head zipper, the sliders must be pulled in towards each other, while to open the zipper they are pulled apart. Bottom Stop: The bottom stop is similar in functionality to the top stop - it's meant to prevent the slider from coming off the bottom of the zipper. However, only non-separating zippers have bottom stops. The bottom stop usually goes across both sides of the zipper tape to keep the bottom of the zipper together. The teeth of coil zippers are made from thin pieces of plastic that have a coil-like appearance. These teeth are stitched to the zipper tape with thread. As I mentioned earlier, there are a lot of options when it comes to zippers these days. And that includes the sliders.Many zippers, especially those used on bags and luggage have two sliders on the zipper teeth. These are two-way zippers. One-Way Zippers

Zipper Pull/Tab: Every zipper slider has a pull attached that is meant to be held onto to move the slider up and down the zipper teeth. Knowing the anatomy of a zipper is important. It helps you to understand how each component works together to make a functional zipper. This is useful information when selecting the right zipper option for your project.

Zipper Slider: The slider is placed on the zipper teeth and is moved up and down the teeth to open and close the teeth. While "reversible sliders" may sound like it should be the same thing as "reverse sliders" - it's actually something completely different! Metal zippers are perfect for bags, pants, and outerwear that will receive a lot of wear and tear. However, there are a few negatives to using metal zippers.
