For an 8-size EXCELLA two-way separating zipper, there is no DA2E specification for the lower slider, but it can be arranged if the upper slider is DA2E and the lower slider is DA1, etc.

It is possible to arrange pull tabs for the decorative series. When placing your zipper order on the ApparelX product page, please write the desired pull tab in the remarks field. Pull tabs for the decorative series are basically factory processing.

We’re sorry, but this item has been discontinued as of March 2022.

We apologize, but open-type concealed zippers were discontinued in all sizes as of March 2022, so
this item cannot be arranged.

Can be arranged. Please choose the closest length and enter the desired length in the remarks field.
*Price varies depending on length.

Yes, it is possible. In that case, it will be factory processing only. If you note it in the memo field or remarks field when placing your order, we will arrange it for you.

Yes, that is possible. For open-end zippers, the product number suffix is OR for right-side insertion and OL for left-side insertion. For two way separator zippers, the product number suffix is MR for right-side insertion and ML for left-side insertion.
At present, on ApparelX we only have product pages for right-side insertion items, so please place your order from the right-side insertion product page.
If you note in the remarks field at the time of ordering that you would like to change to left-side insertion, we will arrange it for you. We will contact you separately regarding the unit price.

Please order a closed-end zipper and specify in the remarks field whether you want head-to-head or tail-to-tail.
We will check the unit price and delivery date and contact you by email.

〈Vislon〉 Size 3 / Size 5 / Size 8

Yes, that is possible. Please clearly write your desired color number in the remarks field when placing your order, and we will arrange it in that color.
* Colors not listed on the product page are often out of stock, and if the color is out of stock, it will be arranged through factory processing.

It is nickel-colored. Nickel silver has a slight yellow tint like a 500-yen coin, but nickel color is a whitish, bright silver color.

Yes, it is possible. As a general rule, if nothing is specified, metal zippers come with sliders in the same color as the element, and other zippers come with sliders in the same color as the tape color.
(Sliders with an attached pull tab are available in metal color only.)
The slider color shown on the product page is for reference, so the color will vary depending on the zipper you order.
If you would like to change the slider color, please note it in the order memo.

Please choose a CA, ZA, ZF, or other slider that can be fitted with a pull tab afterward.
The difference between CA and ZA/ZF is whether a pull tab can be attached from the base or not.
Pull tabs are sold by various manufacturers, but the specifications determine whether they can be attached to CA or ZA, so please check carefully.
The color options for retrofit sliders are limited to metal colors only.

Basically, we are unable to accept orders for sliders only, but it is possible to arrange them if they are ordered together with a chain zipper or used for a zipper previously purchased from APPARELX.
In that case, please contact us via the contact form on the Support Page with the type and size of the YKK zipper you purchased, the slider color, the slider product number, and the quantity. We will reply after confirmation.

If you note the desired upper and lower sliders in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will change them to the sliders you want and arrange the order accordingly.

The booklet-type FASTENING SENKA has now been discontinued. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it can be downloaded from YKK's website, so please check there.

You can determine this from the second letter of the slider product number.
“A” = automatic lock (the slider locks automatically when you let go of the pull tab, and unlocks when you pull the pull tab)
“F” = non-lock (a slider with no locking function, regardless of the position of the pull tab on the body)
“N” = notch lock (a notch is attached to the shoulder of the body, and it locks when opened by bringing the chain against the shoulder)
“W” = reversible (pull tabs are attached to the front and back, so it can be opened from either side)
“U” = reversible (an automatic slider with one pull tab that can move along the rotating rail and can be opened and closed from either the front or back.)

If you enter your preferred color and slider in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will make the change and arrange it for you.

As for zipper inventory, products other than 2CHC concealed zippers are not stocked in the exact length you specify. For made-to-order production, we can process a longer zipper to make it, which shortens the delivery time but increases the unit price. If you want it processed from longer stock and need it right away, please select "Delivery priority (higher unit price)."
