Product Description
Mint Green with Rainbow Teeth & Pull | No.5 Continuous Zip
Fresh and uplifting, Mint with Rainbow adds a gentle hit of colour without tipping into fuss. The tape is a soft mint green with a subtle herringbone weave that presses flat and looks neat at close range. Running through the centre is a metal-look rainbow coil that shifts across magenta, lime, teal and sky blue. It’s a small, confident detail—ideal for brightening travel pouches, project cases and everyday totes while keeping the overall look calm.
Sold by the ½ metre, multiples are supplied in one continuous length so you can cut exact runs for pockets, main openings and matching sets with minimal waste. Each ½ metre includes one #5 teardrop ring pull in a nickel tone. Add extra pulls if you want a double slider or several shorter zips from a single length.
The build is Size 5 (5 mm) continuous nylon coil, chosen for predictable handling on domestic machines. Coil feeds smoothly under a zipper foot, is kinder to needles than metal teeth, and flexes around gussets and tidy boxed corners. Top-stitching sits cleanly along the herringbone tape, giving your seams that parallel, well-made finish. If your priority is practical components that sew well and wear well, this format earns its space in the notions drawer.
Colour pairing is straightforward. The mint tape plays beautifully with natural linen, crisp whites, soft greys, navy, and small-scale prints; the multi-hued teeth offer easy accents—echo a single coil colour in your lining, webbing strap, or zipper end tabs for cohesion. Hardware is equally simple: the nickel/silver-tone pull pairs with D-rings, sliders, triglides and swivel hooks in the same finish for a consistent story from strap to closure.
Because this is continuous zip, you set the spec. 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 flexible, staple that supports clean construction and a polished result.

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.
