Q: How to identify true and false YKK zipper?

A: YKK zipper is a world-renowned zipper brand. YKK zipper represents the industry standard and is recognized as a representative of high-quality zipper in the industry. It is precisely because YKK zipper is the representative of high-quality zipper, so there are quite a lot of cases of YKK zipper on the market. When customizing the backpack, if you choose YKK zipper, you must learn to distinguish the true from the false, so as to avoid bad manufacturers. 

Identification method of true and false YKK zipper:

1. The real YKK material is relatively thick, the appearance is smooth, the printing is beautiful, the indentation is evenly embossed, and the height of the raised part is the same. The printing of fake YKK is blurred, or the stroke thickness is uneven, and many have obvious processing defects.

2. For genuine YKK, in addition to the clear YKK letters printed on the front of the slider, other key parts will also have small steel prints, such as Y or YKK on the back of the slider or on the pull tab, and it is very standardized.

3. At present, there are two types of fonts on genuine YKK zippers: one is a common narrow body, and the other is a wide body. From the current point of view, the fake products use less wide body and more narrow body. If the font on the zipper is wide-body, generally speaking, it is more likely to be genuine, and of course, it needs to be identified from the convenience.

It is worth noting that although YKK zippers are of very good quality, their price is about 10 times that of other brands of zippers. Therefore, if you choose YKK zipper for backpack customization, you must fully consider the cost budget. If the budget is not high, it is not recommended to choose YKK zipper.
