Brand positioning and origin

ZIPIT is an Italian zipper brand supplying moulded resin and nylon coil constructions to European apparel producers. Italy's trims sector is closely connected to its fashion and textile districts, and brands in this position typically combine regional production with a colour service aimed at seasonal collections.

Its profile is neither luxury metal nor commodity volume. The brand sits in the middle: standard constructions with a European colour sensibility, short runs for seasonal fashion, and delivery schedules that match the calendar of Italian and European garment makers.

Product range

The range covers resin and coil constructions:

  • Moulded resin zippers in #3, #5 and #8, open-end and closed-end.
  • Nylon coil zippers in #3, #4 and #5, including two-way versions.
  • Invisible coil articles for dresses, skirts and trousers.
  • Seasonal colour cards developed to fashion palettes, with custom dyeing available.
  • Matching pulls, sliders and tape finishes for coordinated trims.

Typical applications

ZIPIT articles are used in womenswear and menswear, casual jackets, trousers, dresses and skirts, knitwear, sportswear and light bags. European fast-fashion and mid-market programmes use the resin range for outerwear and the coil range for lighter garments, often with several colourways per style.

Quality and compliance

Articles are checked for slider operation, tooth strength, colourfastness to washing and light, and dimensional stability of the tape, with strength references to ASTM D2061-style methods. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and REACH restricted-substance documentation are available for many articles. The applicable certificate is article-specific and subject to the supplier's certificates.

Sourcing notes

European suppliers usually quote moderate minimum order quantities per colour, with surcharges for custom dye lots. Sampling takes two to three weeks, and seasonal colour development should start well before the buying season. Bulk production typically runs five to seven weeks. Buyers should confirm REACH and OEKO-TEX documentation for each article before shipment.
