Pink is strong and warm — the loudest of the pink tones. On quiet fabrics it suffices as your single colour accent. It measures 16 cm. Too long, and you shorten it from the top, setting a new stop there.
At 3 mm the coil counts among the narrow versions: it draws little attention and sets neatly into a short seam. Sold singly. Measure the opening on your finished pattern piece rather than on paper — seam allowances and hem change the length you need. Too long, and you shorten it from the top: cut, fold the tape in, set a new stop with hand stitches.
What Nicht teilbare Reißverschlüsse Pink is suitable for
- Bags with a zipped compartment, because it stays closed at the bottom.
- Cases and pouches, because the tape adds little bulk.
- Garment bags, because the opening matches the length exactly.
Sewing tips
- Die angegebene Länge ist die Zahnlänge, nicht die Bandlänge. Für den Schlitz im Schnittmuster zählt die Zahnlänge.
- Reißverschlussfuß verwenden und die Naht knappkantig neben den Zähnen führen.
- Zu lange Verschlüsse lassen sich kürzen: oben abschneiden, neuen Anschlag mit Handstichen setzen und das Band in die Nahtzugabe einschlagen.
- In Taschen den Verschluss vor dem Zusammennähen der Seitennähte einsetzen, solange die Teile noch flach liegen.
- Bei dünnen Stoffen ein Stück Vlieseline unterlegen, damit die Kante nicht ausreißt.
- Metallausführungen nicht bügeln; die Spitzenvariante nur von links und mit Tuch.
- Zum Waschen schließen. Offene Zähne verhaken sich in Maschenware und ziehen Fäden.

Frequently asked questions
What does closed-end mean?
This fastener is closed at the bottom: the slider runs onto a fixed stop and both halves stay joined. Your piece opens only along the teeth, never completely.
Does it suit trousers?
Yes — for trousers and skirts a closed-end zip is exactly right, since it should not open fully there. Just make sure the length matches the opening in your pattern.
How should I store fasteners?
Flat and closed, ideally sorted by length. Stored folded, the tape keeps that crease, and you see it later along the sewn-in edge.
What do I do with the tape ends?
They run into the seam allowance and are caught there. Fold them slightly outwards at an angle, so they add no bulk at the corner and the slider reaches the top.
