thumb|Zippers with common teeth variations: metal teeth (top), coil teeth and plastic teeth
A zipper is a fastening device that uses interlocking teeth made of metal, coil, or plastic to join two pieces of fabric together, and it can be quickly opened and closed by sliding a small pull tab along the teeth. Zippers are important because they provide a convenient, durable way to secure clothing, bags, and other items compared to older fastening methods like buttons or laces.
