Description
Light pink is pink with white in it: strong enough to show, pale enough to stay friendly. At 18 cm of tooth length it fits wherever you need exactly that opening — measured on your finished pattern piece, not on paper.
This version carries a fine 3 mm coil. On light fabrics it is the calmer choice against metal. On blouses and dresses the fine version suffices; on bags and rucksacks it may run stronger. Width decides less about durability than about how visible the fastener becomes.
What Closed-End Zip 18 cm Light Pink is suitable for
- Cases and pouches, because the tape adds little bulk.
- Rucksacks, because a fixed stop takes strain.
- Seat cushion covers, because the cover comes off for washing.
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
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 exactly must the colour match?
On visible fastenings as closely as possible; on concealed ones a roughly matching tone will do. If unsure, take the next darker shade — one too pale stands out more.
Which needle should I use?
A universal needle in a suitable size. Never sew across the teeth themselves — on metal a needle breaks, on plastic it bends. Push the slider aside first.
Centred or concealed?
Set centred, both lines of topstitching show evenly; concealed, only one remains visible. Trousers usually take concealed, bags and cushions the centred version.
