| Metal Zippers |
| A Durable and Timeless Fastener |
|
At Dunlap Industries, we produce versatile and long-lasting metal zippers in a variety of materials. Metal zippers, both rugged and durable, have stood the test of time, being the oldest type of zipper still in production. The teeth of metal zippers are actually individual metal pieces stamped into the “teeth” shape which are then crimped onto the tape. Most metal zippers are made from flat wire while special types of metal zippers are made from pre-formed wire. These pre-formed zippers are commonly found in jeans and work wear due to their very high strength, durability and smooth touch. Dunlap Industries is able to produce both types, but prefers to offer the higher quality pre-formed zipper at a flat wire price. |

| Coil and Concealed Zippers |
| The World’s Most Popular Type of Zipper |
|
Coil zippers are incredibly versatile making them the most popular zipper type in the world. The coil zipper is made of a polyester mono-filament formed into a spiral tooth configuration. Coil zippers can be used in a wide range of applications from apparel to transportation. The concealed zipper is a variation of the coil zipper in which the teeth are hidden behind the tape. The ability to conceal the zipper is most useful in applications that require that the zipper does not distract from the garment design. The most popular applications include dresses, blouses and throw pillows. |
