These zips are ones that open fully so that the two sides of the zip separate from each other. For example, these may be used on a jacket or cardigan so you can open it all the way.

These come in different styles for example Plastic Open End, Nylon Open End, Metal Open End and Heavy-Duty Open End. Different styles of open-end zip can be used on your garment depending on how heavy your fabric is.

Like the name implies the opposite of an open-end zip, this type of zip is used in mattresses, clothing and luggage when you don’t want the zip to come apart.

Multiple lengths, gauge, colours and materials are available.

A zip which is popular in backpacks, suitcases, overalls and outdoor clothing is sometimes referred to as a dual or double zip. The wearer can open from either end to give flexibility and in some cases security, by being able to padlock the two zips together.
