“There are so many zippers but I can never find the ones I want online”.  I hear this all the time from Manufacturers.  Why?  Because the popular zippers found online generally are for the repair industry.  They are stocked for Alteration Shops & Tailors, Dry Cleaners, and Shoe Repair & Leather Repair Shops.  The standard zippers for these repairs are only a fraction of the sizes, styles, colors, and lengths of zippers available. If you are looking for an item that is not generally listed anywhere, and you buy in bulk quantity (generally 100 zippers of the same length/color), no worries as Quality Zipper can get you any item YKK produces in any length and color. Please send me an email (qualityzip@aol.com) for special order requests and I will get back to you with price and lead time. In your request for a special order please provide the following vital information:

1. TYPE OF ZIPPER…Coil, Vislon (molded plastic), or Metal (if metal what finish of teeth…brass, aluminum, nickel, antique brass, etc.)
2. SIZE OF THE ZIPPER…each zipper is sized with a number based on the size of the teeth…that larger the number, the bigger the teeth. Standard size is #5 and the largest size is #10. Usually the slider will have a number on the body that will tell you the size of an YKK zipper.
3. FUNCTION OF ZIPPER…Separating Jacket Type, Open Top Closed Bottom, Closed Ends, 2-WAY, Reversible, etc.
4. TYPE OF SLIDER ON THE ZIPPER…Locking, Non-Locking, Reversible, etc.
5. LENGTH OF THE ZIPPER. Zippers can be ordered in any length down to 1/10th of an inch.
6. COLOR OF THE ZIPPER TAPE. Every color under the rainbow is available from YKK.
7. Tell us how many of each zipper you are requesting because the more you order the more we can discount.  If you order in bulk, let us know what quantities you purchase and we will get you the best price.  We do guarantee the best price possible and will beat any competitor’s price as long as it is for a genuine made-in-the USA YKK product.
8. Please provide pictures if you have them or YKK item codes as well as this will help us determine exactly what you need. This is not necessary but will help if available.
9. If you need help determining any of this information you can find it within the menu buttons at the home page of www.qualityzipper.com …go to YKK Zippers or Online Catalog.
10. Special orders drop shipped direct from the YKK factory cannot be returned, only in-stock items may be returned, so it is very important that we make every effort to be clear on the exact item to be special ordered.

Like #9 above states…if you are new to the world of zippers and have no idea on the basics of zippers, check out the Quality Zipper YKK catalog as we break it down in very simple terms for you…check it out:
