For the zipper, you need to build up the surface of the platen so it has a grove for the thicker zipper to lay in. There are some good posts here about what people have used for the build up. (Card board is one choice).
On the pockets, you could build a stack that would allow the edges/seams of the pocket to fall away from the screen, leaving a nice smooth surface to print on.
