Product Description
No.5 Continuous Zip in Yellow
Bright, cheerful, and eye-catching, this No.5 continuous zipper tape in Yellow brings a bold pop of colour to your sewing projects. 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 pattern requires. Each ½ metre includes one matching rectangular #5 pull; extra pulls are available separately so you can configure either single- or double-pull zips with ease.
Made with a nylon coil, this zip offers smooth, dependable performance and the flexibility makers appreciate. It curves neatly around gussets, sits flat under top-stitching, and glides easily without snagging. The No.5 coil width (5 mm) gives a solid feel—strong enough for everyday bags and organisers, yet still light enough for pouches and accessories. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, wash bags, project organisers, and home décor makes such as cushions or storage bins.
Continuous zip tape gives you control over the finish: cut to any length, insert sliders from either direction, and customise each closure to suit your project. In Yellow, the matching tape, coil, and pull create a unified, vibrant look that works beautifully as either a striking accent or a fun contrast against patterned fabrics. It pairs especially well with greys, blacks, and modern prints where a burst of sunshine colour is welcome.

Double-sided basting tape helps secure the zip while positioning.

To finish ends, fold the tape back and stitch down, or enclose with a fabric tab.
-

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.
