Abstract
A pull tab for slide fastener sliders includes a soft elastic grip mound provided on the grip portion of a pull tab body and projecting from one of front and rear surfaces of the pull tab body. The grip mound has a roughened outer surface to increase the resistance to slip and is elastically deformable to fit the shape of the user's finger when the grip portion is gripped. With the grip mound thus provided, the pull tab can be gripped stably and reliably by the user's fingers, which ensures a smooth opening and closing operation of a slide fastener.
