Metal zippers

Highest quality, durability, and aesthetics

Characteristics of Metal Zippers

Metal zippers are a traditional type of zipper that also requires high precision in terms of quality, especially in applications demanding great durability. This is a challenging type of use for zippers. The zippers in our offer are distinguished by their high resistance to atmospheric conditions.

The teeth are usually made of brass from a specially profiled wire (Y-type teeth) or attached one by one – so-called European/Swiss teeth or polished teeth. We also offer zippers with teeth made of stainless steel, as well as those injection-molded from a zinc-aluminum alloy.

We specialize in metal zippers used as functional closures in workwear, footwear, and luggage.

Good quality zippers are defined above all by the smoothness of their teeth; all metal zippers in our offer feature smooth teeth.

Polished teeth – antique copper

Antique silver – standard Y-type teeth

Standard teeth – light antique brass color

Stainless Steel Zipper

Zippers with stainless steel teeth are a more durable alternative to brass teeth for use in industries that require industrial laundering, for example, in the workwear rental industry.

The material from which the teeth are made—stainless steel—is resistant to industrial laundering, which means it can be used in garments that require this type of washing. Steel is a fully recyclable material, so its use in workwear allows for a simple material recovery process.

FAQ

What makes metal zippers different from other zipper types?

Metal zippers are a traditional type of zipper that requires high precision in terms of quality and offers exceptional durability for demanding applications. They are distinguished by their high resistance to atmospheric conditions and mechanical stress. The defining characteristic of quality metal zippers is the smoothness of their teeth – all metal zippers in our offer feature smooth teeth. Metal zippers provide both a functional closure and a distinctive aesthetic element, making them ideal for applications where strength, durability, and visual appeal are equally important.

What materials are used for metal zipper teeth?

Metal zipper teeth are typically made from several premium materials. Brass teeth are the most common, formed from specially profiled wire in Y-type configuration or attached individually as European, Swiss, or polished teeth. We also offer zippers with teeth made of stainless steel for superior durability and corrosion resistance, as well as teeth injection-molded from zinc-aluminum alloy. Each material offers different properties in terms of strength, appearance, and resistance to environmental factors, allowing you to choose the best option for your specific application.

Why should I choose stainless steel zippers for workwear?

Stainless steel zippers are a more durable alternative to brass teeth, specifically designed for industries requiring industrial laundering, such as the workwear rental industry. The stainless steel material is resistant to the harsh conditions of industrial washing processes, ensuring longevity even with frequent, intensive laundering. Additionally, steel is a fully recyclable material, making stainless steel zippers an environmentally responsible choice that allows for simple material recovery processes in workwear applications. This combination of durability and sustainability makes them ideal for professional garments.

What finishes and colors are available for metal zippers?

We offer a wide range of premium finishes and colors to match your design aesthetic. Available options include polished teeth in antique copper for a warm, vintage look, antique silver with standard Y-type teeth for a classic appearance, light antique brass color for traditional styling, and black oxide finishes for modern, sleek designs. Each finish is carefully applied to ensure consistent quality and appearance. These various finishes allow metal zippers to complement different hardware such as rivets, snaps, and buckles, creating a cohesive and professional overall design.

What are the best applications for metal zippers?

We specialize in metal zippers used as functional closures in workwear, footwear, and luggage where durability is paramount. Metal zippers excel in applications demanding high strength and resistance to mechanical stress, such as leather jackets, jeans, bags, and shoes. They're particularly suitable for products that require both a strong closure and visual impact. Their superior durability and resistance to atmospheric conditions make them the preferred choice for professional applications and products subjected to intensive use or harsh environmental conditions.
