The Nylon Zipper Tape, mesh 3 and purple, sold by the meter, is the complete zipper tape, with the nylon teeth already mounted, used to apply custom zippers to bags, cases, clothing, and sewing accessories. Unlike the slider sold separately, this product includes the tape and teeth; a compatible slider with the same mesh must then be applied for the zipper to function. The purple shade is a distinctive choice, suitable for zippers on clothing and accessories with a less conventional style. Because it is sold by the meter, it allows you to cut exactly the length needed for each sewing or leather goods project.
