The 3rd Alternative in Zippers
Before I created the Zipr Shift zipper, there were only TWO kinds of zipper. FIRST A rigid, interlocking toothed/coil fastener. OR SECOND A soft, flexible interlocking profile zip track. That’s it! You had two options. The zip track is used exclusively in packaging. And, the toothed fastener is usedRead More…
Sovereign Immunity & Government Contracting

I tell people “We can only make closures 4 mm small [height].” Partial Lies. …because I predicted my competitor’s actions. They would attack the height. But, I really like a ZS closure height of 6 mm because, per testing, that is a good optimization of size, tensile strength, waterRead More…
