Over the many years that we`ve been doing business, there`s always one question that we are asked with new customers to YYX Zippers. [What is the difference between YKK zippers and YYX Zippers?"
To answer this question in the most simplest form, it basically comes down to what your needs and preferences are. A similar question would be, what`s the difference between McDonald`s and KFC ? As much as we would love to provide zippers to everyone in the world that needs them, we understand that desire is not a realistic expectation. That said, we will provide you pros and cons of both Zipper companies so that you can make an informed decision based on your needs and preferences.
