Product Description
No.5 Continuous Zip in Light Pink
Soft, sweet, and endlessly versatile, this No.5 continuous zipper tape in Light Pink is a charming addition to your sewing toolkit. Sold by the ½ metre, it’s supplied in one continuous length when you order more than one unit, allowing you to cut precisely what you need. Each ½ metre includes one matching rectangular #5 pull; extra pulls are available separately so you can configure single- or double-pull zips to suit your project.
The nylon coil design combines strength with flexibility, ensuring a smooth glide while remaining easy to sew. It bends neatly around gussets and boxed corners, lies flat under top-stitching, and is kinder to machine needles than metal teeth. The No.5 coil (5 mm width) provides the right balance—durable enough for everyday bags and organisers, yet light enough for smaller makes such as pouches, cases, and cushions.
Continuous zip tape puts you in control: cut to your chosen length, insert sliders from either direction, and create custom closures with ease. In Light Pink, the matching tape, coil, and pull give a delicate, cohesive finish. This colour pairs beautifully with pastels, florals, children’s fabrics, and playful prints, adding a soft accent that works equally well as a gentle contrast or a coordinated detail.

Maker’s notes
-
Use a zipper foot and a moderate stitch length for clean, even top-stitching.
-
Double-sided basting tape helps secure the zip in position before sewing.
-
To finish ends, fold the tape back and stitch, or use a fabric tab for a tidy closure.
-
Nylon coil can be safely stitched across if needed; avoid doing so with metal teeth.
Pretty yet practical, this Light Pink No.5 continuous zip is both flexible and durable—an easy way to add a polished, professional finish with a soft touch of colour.
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.
