FAQs
1. Do zippers need to be lubricated?
Metal tooth zippers can occasionally be lubricated to ease movement — use wax or a candle applied directly to the teeth (never spray lubricants). Coil and molded plastic zippers from Lenzip are made from DuPont Delrin® resins and require no lubrication.
2. What is the difference between coil, molded plastic, and metal zippers?
Coil Zippers: Flexible, lightweight, made from nylon or polyester — ideal for apparel, bags, and booth panels.
Molded Plastic Zippers: Durable plastic teeth, weather-resistant — common in tents, outdoor gear, and expo booths.
Metal Zippers: Strong, classic look — typically used in jeans, uniforms, and heavy-duty applications.
3. How do I determine the correct zipper size (gauge) for my project?
Zipper gauge refers to the width of the zipper teeth when closed, measured in
millimeters. Common gauges include #3, #5, #8, and #10. The choice depends on the
application:
- #3: Lightweight fabrics, dresses, and skirts.
- #5: Jackets, bags, and upholstery.
- #8/#10: Tents, outdoor gear, and heavy-duty applications.
4. Can I order custom zippers tailored to my specific needs?
Yes. Lenzip offers custom zippers in different gauges, lengths, colors, sliders, and tape finishes. Our engineers will design to your exact requirements for apparel, exhibits, marine, or fabric structures.
5. What is the typical lead time for custom zipper orders?
Most orders ship within 2–3 weeks, depending on order size and complexity. Large production runs or highly custom designs may require additional time. We communicate timelines upfront.
6. What is your minimum order?
Standard orders: 25–50 pieces of the same gauge, style, length, and color.
Smaller gauges may require 50–100 pieces minimum.
Exceptions apply for unusual lengths, prototypes, or specialty runs.
7. Do you offer samples for testing and evaluation?
Yes. We provide zipper samples so you can test function, durability, and fit before production. Contact us with your application needs to request samples.
8. Can you make zippers to any length?
Yes. We manufacture zippers from 2 inches up to 8,000 inches in length, depending on material and application (from apparel to large-scale fabric enclosures).
9. Where are Lenzip zippers made?
Lenzip zippers are proudly manufactured in Rolling Meadows, Illinois (USA). Much of the raw material is U.S.-sourced, though select components are globally sourced to ensure performance and durability.
10. Are Lenzip zippers certified or tested?
Yes. Lenzip zippers can meet U.S. Government specifications (AN-229, VF-106, A-A-55634). We also produce fire-resistant zippers with Nomex® tape, tested and certified for firefighting and turnout gear.
