Wholesale Zip Pullers

Zip pullers – a handle and a brand mark

Zip pullers are the pulls attached to the slider that make opening and closing a zip easier. A comfortable puller is easy to grip even with gloves on, and a well-designed one turns the zip into a recognisable brand detail. That is why zip pullers are among the most frequently personalised accessories in clothing and bags. Polkom, a manufacturer and wholesaler of garment accessories, offers zip pullers wholesale and produces custom logo models for makers of clothing, sports gear, bags and backpacks.

Types of zip pullers

Metal zip pullers

Metal pullers are cast from zinc alloy or stamped from brass and steel. They allow an embossed, debossed or engraved logo, coloured enamel and various finishes. They are used on jackets, bags, wallets and fashion collections where the zip is a visible accent.

Rubber zip pullers

Rubber pullers in PVC or silicone are soft, quiet and easy to grip. They allow a three-dimensional logo in several colours and are preferred in sportswear and childrenswear, outdoor jackets and backpacks.

Cord zip pullers

Cord pullers combine a cord or tape with a metal or plastic end. They are light, do not rattle and give a sporty look. They are often combined with logo cord ends.

Compatibility with the zip

The puller is attached to the slider with a ring, a hook or directly through the slider's eye if it has a movable pull tab. That is why it is important to know the type and size of the zip when choosing. Pullers are used with coil, plastic and metal zips, including the original YKK zips we supply. Send us the slider model and we will suggest a suitable attachment method.

Finishes and colours

• Nickel, gold, antique brass and gunmetal
• Black and matt black
• Pantone-matched enamel on metal models
• Multi-colour rubber pullers to your design

Custom zip pullers with your logo

For custom production we can adapt the shape, size, thickness and attachment method to your design. The logo can be embossed, debossed, engraved or coloured. Before production we prepare a sample so you can check the size, weight and feel in the hand. This way the puller sits naturally on the product and does not strain the zip.

How to choose a zip puller

First decide where the zip will be and how often it will be used. For the main zip on a jacket or backpack, choose a larger puller that is easy to grip with gloves. For pockets and inner compartments, a small, light puller that does not weigh on the fabric is enough. Think about noise too – metal pullers rattle when moving, while rubber and cord ones stay quiet. Finally, choose a finish that matches the slider and other metal hardware, such as the rings on a bag.
