Zippers / Decorative and functional tapes

Zipper tapes,
developed beyond
the standard.

Distinctive tape treatments can turn a zipper into a functional or visual product detail. GALAXY reviews the application, tape construction, surface direction, component match and sampling feasibility before confirming supply.

Decorative and functional zipper tape development references

Review the zipper
as a complete system.

A reliable development considers the chain, tape, slider, puller, stops and opening structure together—not as isolated components.

01

Chain & Gauge

Coil or teeth direction selected around the product and opening requirement.

02

Tape

Base construction, color and decorative or functional treatment reviewed together.

03

Slider & Puller

Movement, attachment, proportion, finish and visual direction checked as a set.

04

Stops & Opening

Closed-end, open-end, one-way or two-way setup confirmed before sampling.

Development guide — exact components and test requirements depend on the intended product.

Five directions
for visible zipper tape.

Decorative and functional tape treatments can become part of the product design. Each direction must be reviewed against the zipper type, garment application, color standard and required performance.

Camouflage heat-transfer treatment on zipper tape
Heat transfer / printed surface
Blue zipper tape with silicone dot pattern
Silicone pattern / surface detail
Zipper tape woven with metallic-effect yarn
Metallic thread / woven appearance
Blue zipper tape with a raised three-dimensional structure
3D structure / raised texture
Yarn-dyed patterned zipper tape in a houndstooth direction
Yarn-dyed tape / woven pattern
Development references — treatment, adhesion, appearance and end-use suitability are confirmed through sampling and project-specific testing.

Product overview

Start with the
intended use.

Share the product application and the best information currently available. GALAXY will review the development direction, clarify open points and confirm what can be sampled.

01

Applications

Sportswear, fashion apparel, outerwear, bags and visible design details.

02

Development directions

Heat transfer, silicone pattern, metallic thread, 3D structure and yarn-dyed tape.

03

Project input

Share the garment application, visual reference, zipper type, size and color direction.

04

Capability scope

Final structure, performance and order terms are confirmed after sample review.

Define the details
that matter.

Available options vary by construction and project. Final specifications, performance claims and order terms are confirmed only after capability and sample review.
