Understanding the layout helps you choose the right zipper color more accurately and efficiently for any sewing or design project.
Waldes zippers are known for their vintage appeal, quality, and wide color range, making them popular in fashion and costume design.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to read the color card step by step with helpful tips along the way.

When you read the waldes zipper color card, not all colors are applicable to all types of zippers.

First, the colors are divided into two categories:
Polyester tape and Cotton tape.

  1. The cotton tape’s applicable colors are only shown on a single page.

2. For polyester waldes zipper tape colors, please pay attention to the small circled numbers to the right of the color swatch.
These numbers indicate which size of metal zippers the color is available for (note: metal zippers only!).

For example, if you need a size 5 metal zipper with polyester tape, you can only choose from colors marked with a circled “5”.

3. If there are no circled numbers beside a color, that means the color is only available for resin zippers.
