🧵 The zipper
The 20 cm nylon zipper with metal slider is a fixed closure designed for those seeking practicality and durability in creative sewing projects. Made with a chain 3 nylon coil, it offers smooth operation and reliable performance over time without weighing down the finished item. It is the ideal solution for handmade bags, pillowcases, pouches, and accessories where a secure yet lightweight closure is needed.
With a length of 20 cm and a tape width of approximately 2.5 cm, this zipper is perfectly suited for small to medium-sized projects. The metal slider ensures a long-lasting closure even after repeated washes, while the soft nylon does not stiffen the fabric. Available in various color options, it integrates easily into any sewing project, from hobbyist tailoring to crafting handmade accessories.
🧬 Material and construction: why it works
The chain 3 nylon coil is the most versatile material for sewing zippers: lightweight, flexible, and wear-resistant. Unlike metal zippers, which can be rigid and heavy, nylon adapts to fabrics of varying thicknesses without creating tension or puckering. The continuous coil ensures a uniform closure without weak points or the risk of teeth breaking, even on projects subject to mechanical stress like bags or pouches.
The metal slider adds strength to the closure: it does not deform with use, maintains its grip on the coil teeth, and slides smoothly even after hundreds of opening and closing cycles. This combination—soft nylon and metal slider—offers the best balance between lightness and durability, making it perfect for those working with delicate fabrics who still want a reliable closure.
📦 Format and practical use
The 20 cm length is a standard size for small-scale projects: shoulder bags, pouches, decorative pillowcases, tablet or cosmetic cases, and pockets on jackets and trousers. The tape width of approximately 2.5 cm provides a stable sewing surface, easy to apply both with a sewing machine (using a zipper foot) and by hand.
As a fixed zipper (non-separating), the two ends do not detach completely: this is the ideal type for bags, pillowcases, and cases where a secure closure is required but the item does not need to be opened fully. Its low weight (approx. 2-3 grams) makes it perfect for projects in lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, or polyester without weighing down the structure.
🧶 Application and sewing
Applying this zipper is easy even for beginners. With a sewing machine, use the specific zipper foot: it allows you to sew close to the teeth without the risk of damaging them. Secure the zipper first with pins or by hand-basting, then stitch along the tape with a straight stitch. The soft nylon does not resist the needle, making stitching fluid even on delicate fabrics.
If you prefer to sew by hand, use a backstitch or a hidden stitch along the tape. The metal slider slides easily even during the sewing process, allowing you to check the closure before finishing the work. For more structured projects like rigid bags or padded cases, reinforce the stitching with a double pass or use a stronger thread.
✨ Why choose this zipper
Compared to metal zippers, this nylon zipper is lighter and more flexible, adapting better to soft fabrics without creating stiffness. Compared to cheap plastic zippers, the metal slider guarantees superior durability: it does not break under intense use and maintains its grip on the teeth even after repeated washing. It is the right choice for those seeking a balance between practicality and durability, without compromising on quality.
In daily life, this zipper makes a difference: a handmade bag that opens and closes effortlessly, a pillowcase that withstands washing without losing its hold, a tablet case that protects its contents without adding weight. It is a detail that shows in use, not just in aesthetics.
🎨 What you can create
This 20 cm zipper is perfect for shoulder bags, pouches, decorative pillowcases, tablet or cosmetic cases, and pockets on jackets and trousers. It is also ideal for creative sewing projects such as makeup bags, travel organizers, handmade wallets, and DIY accessories.
👩🎨 Who is this for
This zipper is suitable for both beginners and experienced sewers. For beginners, the soft nylon and sliding slider make application simple and forgiving: even if the stitching isn't perfect, the zipper will still work. For those with experience, the quality of the metal slider and the hold of the coil guarantee professional results.
Who typically buys it? Hobbyists creating handmade bags and accessories, tailors making bespoke garments, artisans selling on online marketplaces, and anyone looking for a reliable closure for creative sewing projects. It is also highly sought after by those who give handmade creations as gifts, because the quality of the metal slider makes a difference in the perception of the finished piece.

📌 Important note
Zippers are sold individually. Available colors may show slight variations in shade between different batches: for projects requiring multiple zippers of the same color, we recommend purchasing them in a single order. The 20 cm length is measured from the bottom to the top of the teeth, excluding the stops. The metal slider may show minor finish variations between batches, without affecting functionality.
