Light Grey Heavy Duty #5 Invisible Continuous Zipper Tape

This soft light grey shade is a beautifully balanced neutral — not too warm, not too cool — making it one of the most versatile colours for dressmaking, tailoring, soft furnishings and contemporary sewing projects. It blends effortlessly with monochrome palettes, pastels, geometric prints, suiting fabrics and minimalist designs while keeping the fastening neatly concealed.

Each metre includes two matching sliders, allowing you to create a custom-length invisible zip with a smooth, professional finish. The Size 5 coil features a durable 5 mm width, offering greater strength than a standard Size 3 invisible zip — ideal for thicker fabrics, structured garments and everyday sewing.

Perfect for:

• Dresses, skirts & tailored garments

• Minimalist or monochrome colour palettes

• Cushions, home décor & soft furnishings

• Bags, craft projects & accessories

• Children’s clothing & modern prints

• Any project needing a strong, discreet neutral zip

All orders are cut as a continuous length from one reel.

Size 5 (or #5) refers to the coil width of 5 mm. This is stronger and more robust than a standard Size 3 invisible zip, making it suitable for bridal wear, costumes, cushions and upholstery projects where extra durability is needed.

Each metre includes two colour-matched sliders. Slide the tape into the channels and pull gently to secure.
