Sewn in, not fitted
The tape is stitched into the product like a conventional zipper tape, and sold by the metre.
Magnetic zipper tape
Magnetic zipper tape, ready to sew in.
Magnetic zipper tape, also called magnetic snap tape: Nd-Fe-B magnets are heat-sealed inside a flexible 20 mm textile band that your workshop stitches in like a conventional zipper tape, with no slider and no rigid part. Designed and assembled in France by SYSTEMMAG since 2000, under 9 international patents.
Key points
Closes by attraction
Alternating polarity aligns both sides on contact: one hand is enough, with no aiming.
Opens by peeling
A progressive lateral gesture separates the tape, with no puller to grip.
ZC and ZG references
ZC-01 to ZC-10 for the side geometry, ZG-01 to ZG-10 for the centred one, each with its own datasheet.
Working principle
Complementary heat-sealed pockets
Invisible integrated magnet
Flexible textile band
Closing with no mechanical part
Two geometries
Side ZIP C or centred ZIP G, depending on the opening.
ZIP C runs along edges, flaps, pockets and off-centre openings. ZIP G sits centred on front openings and flat alignments. Both come in N40 as standard, with N45 to N52 on request, and are cut to the length your product needs.
ZIP C side-aligned
The ZIP C is designed for edges, flaps, pockets and off-centre openings. The magnetic pockets are positioned on one side of the textile band.
- Aligned at the edge or offset
- Ideal for non-central geometries
- Discreet and integrated into the textile
ZIP G centred
The ZIP G is designed for front openings and flat alignments. The magnetic pockets are centred, with stitching zones on both sides.
- Centred distribution of the magnetic points
- Perfect for front openings
- Consistent hold along the height
Available spacings
Ten spacings, from 1.2 cm to 10 cm.
01High density
1.2 cm spacing
For more demanding hold
03Standard density
3 cm spacing
Balance of strength and flexibility
05Light density
5 cm spacing
Long runs and easy opening
Integration approaches
Choose the right family for your product.
Keep the same navigation principle across zips, strips, blocks, sheaths and custom developments.
02
Magnetic zips
Ready to sew in, in side (ZIP C) or centred (ZIP G) geometry, for openings that must stay discreet.
