A zipper is a fastener consisting of two rows of metal or plastic teeth on strips of tape and a sliding piece that closes an opening by drawing the teeth together, used for closing openings in clothing, bags, etc.
Zippers are usually made of metal or plastic teeth that fit together as you slide a tab along them.
