Identification of YKK Zipper

When it comes to YKK zippers, we are all familiar. YKK is not only the ancestor of the zipper industry but also the industry standard of zipper products in terms of technology and quality.

YKK is used in a large amount and has been imitated quite a lot. It is good to identify it. As long as a good dress uses a fake zipper, that dress must also be fake.

Generally speaking, it is OK to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Generally, real YKK clothes are used. The workmanship is more exquisite, and the price is more expensive than ordinary brands. If YKK is used for cheap clothes, it may be fake. The clothes sold in large stores are usually real YKK.

2. If YKK zippers are used for good outdoor clothing, the main zippers of clothing are generally self-locking (the cover part connected by the pull tab and the pull head is movable), and the pockets and internal zippers are generally not equipped with self-locking devices. If the main zipper of the garment does not have a self-locking device, it may be false.

3. In terms of technology, the real YKK is made of thick materials, smooth appearance, beautiful printing (concave or convex), and certain fonts, while the fake YKK fonts have all kinds of fonts, and the printing is vague, or the strokes are thin, the pressure is uneven, and there are obvious processing defects. There are many factors involved in the problem of surface coating, which are difficult for beginners to distinguish.

4. If it is genuine YKK, there will be other relevant information besides YKK, and the key parts will also have very small Y or YKK steel seal words, which are very standard. Fake products generally have only YKK, but good imitations also have complete printing.

5. The teeth of the real nylon, resin, and invisible YKK zippers are hard to see from the naked eye and the fake ones. It is better to distinguish them from the pull head and the pull tab. Metal teeth are quite different. YKK uses square tooth technology. All the fakes I have seen are round tooth technology, but square teeth are not unique to YKK. Domestic manufacturers have begun to use square tooth technology.

Features of YKK zipper

1. The material is thick, the printing is beautiful, and the color is even and bright. After use, even after countless times of being pulled for several years or even decades, the YKK zipper can still keep its outer edge free from falling off and scratches, without deflection or tooth breakage.

2. Glue is used to connect the bonding part between the zipper and the clothes to ensure the fastness of the connection, and there is no brittleness in the glue area.

3. YKK zippers emphasize that each pair of zippers has the same color and texture. In addition to bright colors, high-grade zippers also require no pigment precipitation, no color flowers, and no dirt.

4. YKK zipper pulls smoothly and firmly without jamming.
