Reverse Zipper VS Reversible Zipper: Which is Better?

Although the terms reverse and reversible sound similar, reverse nylon coil zippers are very different from reversible zippers. The two different zippers have different closures, so it is critical to choose the right zipper for your product. But what is the difference between reverse and reversible zippers? And which one is better? This post will outline and explain the key differences

We’ll cover:

What is a reverse zipper?

The teeth are visible with a regular zipper, and the slider works on the protruding side of the teeth. The reverse nylon zipper, on the other hand, is a zipper with a spiral that is visible from the front and performs better when sewn to the fabric.

What is a reversible zipper?

The reversible zipper’s pull tab can be flipped along the rotating rail to the opposite side of the slider, allowing it to be pulled up and down from either side.

What’s the key difference between reverse and reversible?

The difference between the two is primarily determined by usage requirements. People primarily use reverse zippers to achieve water and wind resistance, so this zipper is commonly found in bags, tents, pockets, and other places where a water-repellent function is desired. A reversible zipper is used in jackets or coats that can be turned inside out.
