– Important points to note when ordering –
Reverse coil zippers are commonly ordered at ApparelX. Today I would like to explain more about them.
What is Reverse coil?

This refers to a zipper that is used with the side where the normal elements are visible facing backwards.
Metal or Vislon zippers cannot be used on the reverse side; only coil zippers are allowed.
It has a clean, sleek look, gives a stylish impression, and lasts longer with less wear.
Available sizes
The sizes marked with an ◯ in the table below are sizes that can be arranged using the reverse side of the coil zipper.
Size | Closed | Open | 2-Way |
3 | ◯ | ◯ | ✕ |
45 | ◯ | ◯ | ✕ |

Important points to note when ordering a reverse coil zipper
When ordering a reverse coil zipper, if it is factory processed (delivery time: approx. 3-4 weeks), it will be a standard right-hand zipper , but if it is priority processed, the zipper that is in stock will have the slider placed on the reverse side, so it will generally be a left-hand zipper .
C/#580 black is in stock in sample quantities, so we can arrange for it to be inserted from the right even if it is required for processing.
Also, please note that depending on the size and slider listed above, it may not be possible to arrange reverse coil.
At ApparelX, we have recently added a reverse zipper option to our product pages. If you select this option when placing your order, we will arrange for the item to have a reverse zipper. (the 3rd option shown below)
