The COSTUMAKERS General Purpose Closed End Zipper, Style 1700 in Shrimp merges refined aesthetics with robust functionality for versatile garment applications. This 30 cm (12 in) zipper features a precision #2.5 nylon coil embedded within matching polyester tape, offering exceptional tensile strength and smooth, low-profile glide through multiple wear, wash, and press cycles. The closed-end design provides a secure, seamless finish at hems, while the nickel-free, corrosion-resistant slider operates snag-free for consistent reliability. Each coil is solution-dyed to maintain uniform, fade-resistant coloration across production runs. All materials meet CPSIA lead-compliance standards and are tensile-tested beyond 20 newtons to ensure safety and durability in both children’s and adult attire. Installation is seamless with any standard zipper foot, allowing the tape to sit flat within seam allowances for a polished silhouette that resists distortion under steam or mechanical stress. Individually sleeved for protection against moisture and abrasion during transit and storage, the shrimp zipper is ideal for bridalwear, formal attire, couture, and everyday fashion requiring a dependable, low-profile closure.
