Sharing some basic knowledge about zippers

Zippers are familiar to everyone, but those who have been exposed to the apparel industry know that zippers are categorized into several types: metal zippers, plastic (or resin) teeth zippers, nylon zippers, invisible zippers, and waterproof zippers, constituting the five most commonly used categories!

Invisible Zippers: The most commonly used zippers in women's clothing. Their construction evolves from nylon zippers, with a mesh edge that makes the entire zipper look lighter and more coordinated. Only the zipper pull is visible from the front, with the teeth hidden, hence the name "invisible zipper." Many brands exist, such as SBS, TVO, KYC, and more, categorized into high, medium, and ordinary quality levels. They have a wide range of uses: dresses, maternity clothing, pants, trousers, underwear, etc. Advantages: Low cost, good toughness, no chain breaking, no teeth getting stuck, and a smooth feel!

Waterproof Zippers: Also evolved from nylon zippers, with nylon teeth and waterproof rubber bags on both sides, capable of printing letters and producing various colors. Advantages: High quality, excellent waterproof performance, and customizable with various letters for fashionable sportswear. They are commonly used in the pockets and necklines of sportswear and more!
