Soft Toy Hospital - Surgery Risks (Zip Installation)
Zip Installations
- Your zip may or may not be installed with a cotton bias tape depending on the current strength and status of the hem
- We may or may not install the zip at the existing spot of the factory seam. It may exceed the factory seam length.
- We use branded YKK zips, however, in the event that it does not work as intended after you bring it home and a redo is necessary, there will be a redo charge.
- The standard colour for zip installation is white or black (6"). Any other colour or length requested will incur a surcharge.
- We use YKK zips as a default as they are known for their good workmanship and durability.
- We offer both conceal and standard zip options, conceal is more beautiful but has a shorter lifespan. A standard zip may last longer but is fully visible.
- Zips are typically installed in a mix of machine and hand sewing, all hand-sewing terms and conditions apply.
YKK Zips
- We use YKK zips as a default for their durability and their good workmanship. They are known as branded zips.
- However, sometimes they also may fail due to manufacturing defects. Hence, while the usage of a YKK zip lowers the chance of a zip failing, there is no guarantee for zip failure. Full charges apply for a redo.
- You may choose to use the zip of another brand (brand-less) if you have colour requirements. But do take note that this increases your chances of zip failure
Zip Usage and Maintenance
- All zips are to be used with caution and to be pulled gently during use.
- Do not forcefully pull the zip, and do not pull the zip in any other direction other than the two directions it is designed for.
- Take caution to not trap stray polyester fibres within the zipper teeth, and to remove them promptly when found.
