With the development of human society and economy, zipper has also gone through a long process of evolution. From the original metal zipper to non-metal zipper, it is now exquisite and colorful. With the continuous optimization of zipper's performance, structure and material, it has been used in many fields such as aerospace, aviation, military, medical, civil. Small zipper plays an increasingly important role in people's life, showing its importance and vitality. The zipper, as one of the ten most useful inventions of this century, has been recorded in the annals of history. 

Because of the convenience of zippers, there are many zipper items on the market, such as the zipper bag, the hoodie zipper, the waterproof zipper backpack and so on. With the improvement of people's living standard, modern people pay more attention to the personalization of zippers when buying clothes. So, how to choose the right zipper for our clothes?

The strength index

The size of the zipper introduced by the zipper manufacturer is corresponding to the strength index of it. The larger the general model, the stronger the ability of the zipper to bear external force. If the materials are different, even zipper of the same model, will bear different strength of the external force. When considering the strength performance of zipper, model of zipper should be taken into consideration.

Clothing styles

In addition to meeting the requirement of strength index, we should also choose different zippers according to the style of the wearer's clothing.

For example, in the placket of a jacket, we should use the open end metal zipper. If the garment is longer, we need to take into account the squatting situation of the wearer, in which case we should choose the closed end metal zipper. In general, we use closed-end zippers in coats, pants pockets and dresses.

The color and decoration of the garment

Considering the coordination of fabric and accessories in color, we need to choose zippers which are consistent with fabric color and luster, so as to create an integrated effect of main material and accessories. Sometimes, we need the main material and auxiliary material color to produce a strong contrast effect, then it is necessary to choose a zipper different in color. There is a universal zipper color card in the zipper industry, which is convenient for garment manufacturers to choose various colors of zippers.

Clothing design requirements

According to the size of the garment itself and the different parts of the garment, we should choose the appropriate length of the zipper. Zipper is flexible, which can change in length under the action of external force. Therefore, each finished zipper has an allowable deviation in length.
