Product families to evaluate
Material selection follows end-use risk. These families are candidate starting points, not unverified suitability claims.
Nylon zippers
Nylon zippers are a practical starting point for projects that need a flexible opening, relatively light construction or curved-path adaptability. No. 5 open-end configurations are often discussed for jackets, while larger gauges, closed-end and two-way configurations can extend to bags and equipment. Final suitability must be verified in the finished product.

Resin zippers
Resin zippers suit products where the teeth are intended to become a visible design element or where strong color expression and a defined structural line are desired. Smaller open-end directions can support childrenswear and lightweight jackets; larger open- or closed-end directions can be evaluated for bags, heavier jackets and equipment.

Metal zippers
Metal zippers suit products that emphasize authentic material character, vintage styling or refined hardware details. No. 3 trouser zippers support compact constructions, while larger open-end directions such as No. 8 create a stronger visual and structural presence. Finish durability must be verified for the actual environment.
