YKK Metal Trouser Zip 12 cm, Silver Teeth, Closed-End

YKK Metal Trouser Zip with Silver Teeth, 12 cm

The YKK metal zip with silver-coloured teeth is intended for trousers and bags. Its closing length is 12 cm. It is a closed-end zip, which means it has a fixed bottom end and cannot be opened completely. This suits trouser flies and bag openings, where it stays sewn in place.

The chain is approx. 0.4 cm wide when closed, and with the tape the zip measures approx. 2.4 cm in width. Use these measurements to plan the seam allowance and the space in the opening. Choose your colour from the options.

Inserting the zip

Measure the length of the opening and compare it with the closing length of 12 cm. Tack the zip in place before sewing so that the tape does not slip. Sew close to the chain with a zip foot. Make sure the needle does not hit the metal teeth, as it could break.
