Product Description
Green with Yellow Teeth & Pull | No.5 Continuous Zip
Clean contrast, easy handling. Green Tape & Yellow Teeth gives a sharp, utilitarian line to bags and accessories, with vivid grass-green tape and a sunny yellow Size 5 coil for definition. The effect is fresh and sporty—ideal for travel pouches, kit bags and organisers—while the construction keeps things straightforward at the machine.
This is continuous nylon coil, Size 5 (5 mm). Coil feeds smoothly under a zipper foot, is kinder to domestic needles than metal teeth, and flexes neatly around curves and boxed corners. Order by the ½ metre; when you buy multiples we supply them in one continuous length so you can cut exact runs for pockets and main openings with minimal offcuts. Each ½ metre includes one matching #5 teardrop ring pull in yellow; add extras if you’d like a double slider or several shorter zips from a single length.
The high-contrast yellow coil helps map edges and openings with a crisp line that reads professional on finished pieces. It’s easy to coordinate hardware too—choose nickel/silver-tone findings for a cool counterpoint, or lean into warm notes with brass/antique brass elsewhere in the build. Pair the tape with canvas, denim, ripstop, solids and small-scale prints; it’s a tidy way to inject colour without clutter.
Because this is continuous zip, configuration is entirely yours: feed sliders from either direction for single- or double-pull zips, trim to the millimetre, and finish ends to suit your pattern—fold back and stitch for a neat stop, or seal carefully with a fray-preventer. It’s a workshop-friendly staple for pouches, wash bags, project cases and everyday totes.

Maker’s notes
-
Use a zipper foot and a steady, moderate stitch length for parallel top-stitching.
-
Basting tape keeps layers aligned; press lightly from the wrong side if needed.
-
You can stitch across nylon coil when a pattern requires it; avoid this on metal teeth.
-
To finish short ends, fold back the tape and stitch, or apply fray-prevention.
Other Details
✨ Attaching a Zipper Pull
- Separate the ends of the zip tape by a few centimetres to give yourself space.
- Place the slider so the flat side faces upward and the curved side points down.
- Insert the first side of the tape into the slider until it catches.
- Line up the second side carefully and feed it into the opposite channel.
- Push both sides in gently until the teeth begin to mesh.
- Slide the pull along the tape to check it’s secure and moving smoothly.
✂️ Snip Snip Tip: For easier threading, cut about 5 mm of the zipper teeth off one side of the tape. Feed the longer side with the teeth into the slider first, then the trimmed side — the stagger helps the pull catch and align cleanly.
Alternative: Trimming both ends of the tape on a slight angle can also help. Seal the cut edges with a quick pass of heat or fray stop to prevent unravelling.
