Orders & Shipping

What is your return policy?

Standard, unused items can be returned within 7 business days of delivery. Due to their custom nature, custom-printed garment bags and zippers that have been custom-cut or resized are final sale. Please contact us to initiate a return.

When will my order ship?

Standard in-stock items process and ship within 1–3 business days. Custom orders, including printed bags and custom-cut zippers, require additional production time and typically ship within 1–2 weeks.

Do you offer wholesale pricing or bulk discounts?

Yes! We work closely with designers, tailors, and manufacturers. Please email or call us directly with your volume requirements so we can provide a customized quote.

Zipper Essentials

How do I properly measure a zipper?

Zippers are measured by their functional length—from the top stop to the bottom stop—not by the total length of the fabric tape. If you need a specific, non-standard length, we can custom-cut it for you.

What is the difference between closed-end and separating?

Closed-end zippers do not come completely apart at the bottom (ideal for pants, pockets, and bags). Separating zippers disconnect fully at the bottom (standard for jackets and coats).

What do sizes like #3, #5, and #8 mean?

The number refers to the approximate width of the zipper teeth in millimeters when zipped closed. A #3 is thin and lightweight (dresses/slacks), a #5 is medium-weight (standard jackets), and a #8 or #10 is heavy-duty (outerwear/large bags).

Threads & Color Matching

Can I match thread to my zipper tape?

Because digital displays vary, screen colors may not perfectly reflect the physical product. If you need a precise color match for a production run, please contact our team—we are happy to help verify matches before you order.
