5# Standard Metal Zipper

The #5 metal zipper is a versatile, medium-duty zipper widely used across outerwear, leather goods, and bags. The “#5” designation indicates that the interlocked teeth measure approximately 5 mm in width when closed, offering an ideal balance between subtle aesthetics and durable strength.

• Materials: Typically constructed with brass, antique brass, nickel, or gunmetal teeth stamped onto a high-strength polyester or cotton tape.
• Durability: Resistant to high tension, wear, and frequent laundering, making it significantly sturdier than standard nylon coil or plastic molded zippers.
• Common Applications: Heavyweight jackets, denim jeans, leather coats, backpacks, luggage, and handcrafted footwear.
