Separating zippers (open-end) and closed bottom zippers (closed-end)
At Leatherbox you buy top quality zippers from YKK, the largest zipper manufacturer in the world. The zippers in our webshop are available in different designs, tape colours, widths and finishes. However, when choosing the right zipper, more than just what you like matters. Based on the application, first determine whether you need a separating (open-end) zipper or closed bottom (closed-end) zipper. You use closed bottom zippers for most applications. With these zippers, the two zipper parts at the bottom always remain attached to each other, such as with pants, pockets, or a bag. With a separating zipper you can separate the two zipper parts completely, like with a jacket. Does the separating zipper have two sliders? Then you can open it at te top and at the bottom.
Use the filter option on this page to select what you need. We have clearly listed the products that fit your selection for you. Do you find it difficult to determine what you need? You can also search by application.
