In the exhibition industry, the deadline is immovable. When assembling a tension fabric structure or a pop-up display minutes before a show opens, the zipper bears the full load of the stretched graphic. A failure here is not just a malfunction; it is a visible disaster. Zipex manufactures high-performance fastening systems designed to withstand the high lateral tension required to keep display fabrics smooth, wrinkle-free, and professional.
We specialise in “invisible” fastening solutions for pillowcase-style tube frames and hanging banners. Our reverse-coil zippers are engineered to disappear into the seam, ensuring that the focus remains entirely on the printed graphic and branding, not the hardware holding it together.
Built for the rental and touring market, our components are tested for repeated cycles of assembly and zipdown. Whether it is a portable retail lightbox or a massive overhead tension structure, Zipex ensures the install is fast, seamless, and secure.
Key Capabilities:
-
High Lateral Tension: Reinforced chains designed to hold stretch-fabrics taut over aluminium frames without bursting.
-
Invisible Finish: Reverse-coil (inside-out) sliders and tapes that hide the zipper teeth for a seamless visual presentation.
-
Snag-Free Operation: Precision sliders designed to glide over curves and corners without catching on delicate printed textiles.
-
Neutral Aesthetics: Extensive range of white and transparent tapes to blend perfectly with standard display fabrics and prevent “shadowing” in lightboxes.
-
Durability: Engineered to withstand hundreds of setup and teardown cycles for rental and touring exhibition kits.
