The<strong> zipper<\/strong> has conquered the world a long time ago, we use it in different sectors and the production of a wide range of goods, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Garment (outwear, workwear, trousers, skirts, dresses etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Footwear<\/li>\n<li>Mattresses, bed linen, furniture<\/li>\n<li>Bags, backpacks, suitcases, covers<\/li>\n<li>Tents, sleeping bags<\/li>\n<li>Element of d\u00e9cor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is impossible to imagine the garment industry without zippers. Nowadays, you can purchase zippers from local and foreign suppliers, in different types and colors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The history of invention<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It took a long time before the zipper appeared as it looks now.<\/p>\n<p>In 1851, the inventor of the sewing machine, <strong>Elias Howe<\/strong>, had created the metallic zipper, which looked much different from modern analogue. The zipper, in the shape of a chain with hooks and holes, which were supposed to join with one another, was too inconvenient; therefore, nobody was interested in this invention.<\/p>\n<p>The next inventor is <strong>Whitcomb L. Judson<\/strong>. It is he, who has got the patent for the creation of so-called \u201cshoe zipper\u201d, and this happened on Nov 7, 1891. His friend had saved the little girl from the fire, by jumping out of the window and hurt his back. It was difficult for him to bend and tie up the shoelaces. Judson was trying to help him out with zipper, but his invention was also too difficult to use and unpopular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gideon Sundback<\/strong> was the only one, who had improved the invention, making the prototype of the modern zipper. The patent was issued on Apr 29, 1913.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Variety of zipper types<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From the moment of creation, zippers were made using different technologies, of many types and variations, multiple kinds of raw materials; however, the functioning guideline was always the same.<\/p>\n<p>The main types are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coil (spiral).<\/strong> Teeth are made in the shape of a coil, which is attached to the tape in different ways. There are sewn and woven zippers. Sewn: the coil is attached to the tape by cord thread. Woven: the coil is attached to the tape while tape weaving. Coil zippers are the most popular and common type. It can be used in the garment, footwear, mattresses, bags, covers, tents etc. The best way of purchase is from the zipper manufacturers, as they can fulfil any standard and non-conventional orders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invisible.<\/strong> It is a light version of the coil zipper because almost hidden in the garment and only the slider can be noticed. Mostly used for trousers, skirts, dresses, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plastic (molded).<\/strong> It is made by injection of melted material, which transforms into the teeth on the tape. Teeth can have various shapes. This zipper has a modern and sporty look and is mostly used in outwear, workwear, backpacks, covers, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Zipper continuous chain<\/strong> should be mentioned too. It is used in the production of goods when the zipper length can be different each time and is not known in advance. Sliders are purchased separately.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Zipper structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/en\/produkcziya\/structure\/\">zipper elements<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/molniya_zippers_constr_eng-scaled.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1686\" src=\"https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/molniya_zippers_constr_eng-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/molniya_zippers_constr_eng-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/molniya_zippers_constr_eng-1024x742.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/molniya_zippers_constr_eng-768x557.jpg 768w, https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/molniya_zippers_constr_eng-1536x1113.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/molniya.eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/molniya_zippers_constr_eng-2048x1484.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u201cMolniya\u201d zippers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our manufacturing company \u201cMolniya\u201d offers a wide range of zippers, and, as a factory, we can fulfill any non-conventional order \u2014 specific type, length or color (with the possibility of the color match according to your fabric sample).
