Product Description
No.5 Continuous Zip in Teal
Deep, cool, and versatile, this No.5 continuous zipper tape in Teal is a dependable choice for makers who want a functional closure with a refined splash of colour. Sold by the ½ metre, it’s supplied in one continuous length when you order more than one unit, so you can cut exactly what your project requires. Each ½ metre includes one matching rectangular #5 pull; extra pulls are available separately to configure single- or double-pull zips with ease.
The nylon coil design delivers both flexibility and durability. It curves smoothly around gussets and corners, sews neatly under top-stitching, and glides reliably without snagging. Softer on sewing machine needles than metal, the No.5 coil (5 mm width) gives a reassuring presence for everyday bags and accessories without adding unnecessary bulk. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, wash bags, toiletry cases, project organisers, and even home décor pieces like cushions or storage baskets.
Because this is continuous zip, you’re in control: cut it to your preferred length, fit sliders in either direction, and create openings to match your pattern. The tone-on-tone Teal tape, coil, and pull offer a bold, modern look that complements a wide range of fabrics—from vibrant prints and tropical palettes to muted neutrals needing a touch of depth. It’s a versatile colourway that can act as both accent and anchor in your finished projects.

Maker’s notes
-
Use a zipper foot and a medium stitch length for tidy, even seams.
-
Double-sided basting tape helps keep the zip secure while you sew.
-
To finish ends, fold the tape back and stitch down, or enclose with a fabric tab.
-
Nylon coil can be safely stitched across; avoid doing this with metal zips.
Practical, strong, and colour-rich, this Teal No.5 continuous zip offers a professional finish with a fresh, modern edge—an easy way to customise closures for handmade projects of every scale.
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.
