Frequently asked questions

What size zipper is best for bag making?

#5 is the most common size for bag making. It is sturdy enough for main bag closures and totes but still easy to sew on a home sewing machine.

What is continuous zipper tape?

Continuous zipper tape is sold by length rather than as pre-cut zippers. You cut it to the exact size your pattern needs and add your own pulls, which makes it flexible for any bag size.

How long is the zipper tape in each listing?

Most #5 tapes in this collection are sold in 3-yard lengths, and many packs include matching pulls. Each listing states its length and what is included.
