Continuous Zippers – 3 Metres of Coil Zipper with 6 Sliders
Discover our practical continuous zippers at Herbert Textiles for bags, cushions, bedding, accessories and many other creative sewing projects. Each set contains 3 metres of flexible coil zipper tape and 6 matching sliders.
The main advantage of a continuous zipper is that you can cut it to the exact length required for your project. This means you only use the amount of zipper you actually need.
Our continuous zippers are available in 36 different colours, making it easy to coordinate them with your fabric and sewing project.
What Is a Continuous Zipper?
A continuous zipper, also known as zipper by the metre or continuous zipper tape, is supplied without a fixed finished length.
Instead, you receive a long length of zipper tape that can be cut to size.
Our version is 3 metres long and includes 6 sliders, allowing you to create several separate zippers in different lengths.
This is especially useful if you sew regularly or have several projects that require the same zipper colour.
Coil Zipper Cut to Your Required Length
Our continuous zippers are coil zippers. The flexible coil makes them lightweight and versatile.
Simply cut the required length from the 3-metre tape and attach one of the supplied sliders.
You can create short zippers for small pouches or longer zippers for cushions, bags and larger projects.
What Can You Use a Continuous Zipper For?
Continuous zippers are especially useful for projects where a standard zipper length does not fit perfectly.
They can be used for:
- handbags
- cosmetic bags
- backpacks
- pencil cases
- cushion covers
- bedding
- internal bag pockets
- storage baskets
- seat cushions
- pet cushions
- creative DIY projects
Because the zipper can be cut to size, it can be adapted precisely to your sewing project.
3 Metres of Zipper with 6 Sliders
Each set contains 3 metres of coil zipper and 6 matching sliders.
This allows you to create multiple zippers. The exact number depends on the lengths required for your projects.
For example, you can cut several short zippers for cosmetic bags or use longer lengths for cushions and larger bags.
This makes continuous zipper tape a practical choice for frequent sewers and multiple sewing projects.
Continuous Zippers in 36 Colours
Our zipper by the metre is available in 36 colours.
Choose a shade that closely matches your fabric or use a contrasting colour as a decorative feature.
A matching zipper creates a subtle, coordinated finish, while a bright contrasting zipper can add a fun detail to bags, children’s projects and accessories.
Continuous Zippers for Bag Making
Continuous zipper tape is particularly useful when sewing bags because you can choose the exact zipper length yourself.
Whether you are making a small inner pocket, cosmetic bag, shopper or backpack, simply cut the required length and add a slider.
It is also ideal for long zipper openings and custom-sized compartments.
Continuous Zippers for Cushions and Home Textiles
Continuous zippers are also highly practical for cushions and home sewing projects.
Standard zipper lengths can sometimes be too short or too long for handmade cushion covers. With continuous coil zipper tape, you decide exactly how long the zipper should be.
It can be used for:
- sofa cushions
- decorative cushions
- seat cushions
- pet beds
- bedding
- large cushion covers
How Do You Cut Continuous Zipper Tape?
First measure the length required for your project. Cut the zipper tape to size using suitable scissors.
Then attach a slider to the coil. Make sure both sides are inserted evenly into the slider so that the zipper closes straight.
Once sewn into your project, secure the ends carefully to prevent the slider from coming off.
Continuous Zipper or Ready-Made Zipper?
A ready-made zipper is convenient when you need a standard size. A continuous zipper gives you much more flexibility.
Zipper by the metre is especially useful when:
- you need several zippers
- you require unusual lengths
- you regularly sew bags or cushions
- you are making several projects in the same colour
- you want to cut every zipper to an individual size
