So that it is always possible to respond to your demand, Adifafe constantly innovates its production with new materials, new colors, and new techniques!

A new process has now begun regard zippers, or, to be more specific, zipper tapes. The tapes applied on these not only serve as a support for the application of their teeth, but are also elements of differentiation in a piece of clothing. In addition to the one color tapes, which are commonly applied, Adifafe already applies Jacquard tapes, giving to the pieces a distinct personalization.

Now, you can use something completely different: zippers with sublimated tapes! This process makes it possible to give the zipper tape a more fluid and detailed design, including record text, image and logo. “But this is also possible with Jacquard…”, yes it is possible, the differences between these two methods seem minimal, but they are not! See below the differences between Sublimated and Jacquard zippers.
