Where to buy zippers wholesale?

Key Aspects of Wholesale Purchasing with Trims and fasteners

To help you optimize costs and efficiency, we at Trims and fasteners assist our clients in precisely defining the following parameters before placing a wholesale order. Use these guidelines to make the best choice.

Zipper Type

It is fundamental to specify whether you need a molded plastic (resin), nylon coil, metal, or a specialty zipper (e.g., luxury, waterproof). At Trims and fasteners, we offer all these types and will advise you on the best solution for your product to ensure optimal functionality and durability.

Size

The zipper size refers to the width of the teeth in millimeters when the zipper is closed. Lower numbers (e.g., #2, #3) indicate thinner and lighter zippers, while higher numbers (e.g., #8, #10) identify thicker and heavier ones. Typical wholesale sizes are #2, #3, #5, #8, and #10. Our experts will help you choose the correct size, often marked on the slider’s underside, which is crucial for the proper function and aesthetics of the final product.

Zipper Style

The style defines how the zipper functions. You must choose whether the zipper should be separating at the bottom (like on jackets), closed at the bottom (like on trousers), or a two-way closed zipper. Trims and fasteners offers all these variations to perfectly match your product’s functionality, ensuring ease of use and a proper closure.

Length

For wholesale purchases at Trims and fasteners, you can choose between cut lengths or a continuous chain (also known as a long chain) which comes on a roll and can be cut to size. A continuous chain is generally more cost-effective for large projects or custom lengths, offering flexibility and reducing waste.

Tape Color

The tape is the fabric to which the zipper teeth are attached. At Trims and fasteners, we offer a wide range of colors from our standard swatches, and thanks to our in-house dyeing facility, we can custom-dye the tapes to perfectly match your product and ensure aesthetic consistency.

Slider Type

Sliders can be auto-lock, which keep the zipper in place (e.g., on hoodies), or non-locking, which allow for easy separation of the zipper (e.g., on bags). We offer metal sliders (stronger) or plastic ones (corrosion-resistant), with a single or double pull tab. What’s more, thanks to our in-house foundry, we can manufacture sliders with your logo, strengthening your brand’s image!
