Nylon coil zip, #5
Coil teeth on tape, flexible across the width; runs smoothly around a curved opening.
| Best for | Soft pouches, curved openings, drawstring and slip cases where a rigid zip would distort the shape. |

The default zip for cosmetic pouches: light, flexible, and it follows the curve of a soft bag opening instead of fighting it.
