YKK CONCEAL is a spiral zipper, specially designed to remain invisible from the front side of the product. Thanks to the design, in which the teeth and the slider are hidden behind the tape, the zipper is almost invisible after sewing. The effect of a smooth, continuous surface is especially appreciated in elegant women’s clothing, evening dresses, wedding dresses and models with a clean silhouette line.
The polyester spiral makes CONCEAL strong and durable, and the thin structure of the tape provides softness and flexibility during sewing and use.
Advantages
1. Completely invisible in the product
The main advantage of CONCEAL is its visual “invisibility”. After sewing, the zipper looks like a regular seam, not like a fastener, due to which the silhouette is clean and the appearance is impeccable.
2. Durability and reliability
Despite its thinness, the zipper can withstand regular loads, does not deform, is resistant to tearing and remains functional after repeated use and washing.
3. Softness and flexibility
The spiral design provides a smooth bend, due to which the zipper does not deform the fabric even when used in products made of silk, chiffon, cambric and other delicate materials.
4. Smooth running of the runner
The unique design of the runner, hidden under the tape, provides easy and silent sliding without jamming or catching. This is especially important when sewing evening and wedding clothes.
5. Versatility of application
CONCEAL is used not only in clothing. It is also suitable for decorative textiles, home decor, pillows, curtains, cosmetic bags, handbags and other accessories where a hidden fastener is needed.
6. Large selection of colors and lengths
The zipper is available in a wide range of colors, which allows you to accurately match the shade to the fabric. In addition, it is available in various lengths: from short 16 cm to long 60 cm and more — to order.
