5# Standard Plastic Zipper

A #5 plastic zipper (often referred to as a resin or Vislon zipper) features individually molded plastic teeth melted directly onto a durable fabric tape. The #5 gauge size indicates that the closed interlocking teeth measure approximately 5 mm to 6 mm across, making it the most versatile, medium-duty zipper profile available.
