How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared With Metal rope
A metal-ended cord looks finished on premium packaging. A general rope is the practical volume choice.
Compared With Composite rope
Composite mixes fibres for strength or appearance. General rope is the straightforward single-fibre cord.

- Tell us the eyelet size so the diameter fits
- Give us the finished cut length you need
- Pull-test the cord on a loaded sample bag
General Rope Questions
Can the cord match our bag exactly?
Send the bag or its artwork and we will match the colour on the sample.
What diameter should we use?
It follows the eyelet size and the load. Tell us both.
Can you supply the cord already fitted to the bags?
Yes, if the bags come from the same order. Tell us and we will quote it fitted.
Will the ends fray?
Ends can be sealed or tipped. Tell us the finish you want.
Ordered Together With This
Composite Rope
A composite rope blends more than one fibre so it can do two things at once: a strong core that takes the load and an outer yarn chosen for how it looks and feels.
