DESIGN INTENT
Give the garment a defined metal chain detail through elongated element faces, regular spacing and a coordinated hardware finish.
PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT
Compare the actual tooth profile and closed-chain width, match the slider to the chain, then review operating feel and the zipper sewn into the intended garment fabric. Record the approved sample revision before ordering.
DESIGN COLLABORATION
Share the garment application, a chain close-up, desired dimensions and colour references. HEAT can review the element profile, tape, slider and finishing direction with your design and sourcing team.
LIMITATIONS & NEXT STEPS
European-style teeth and Swiss-style teeth are supplier trade descriptions, not a universal dimensional or compatibility standard. Confirm the exact profile by sample. The name does not imply Swiss manufacture or certification. Tooth shape alone does not establish polishing, corrosion resistance, strength or colourfastness. Define wash, abrasion, strength and corrosion test conditions and acceptance criteria for the actual materials and finish.
