Metal End Rope
A metal-tipped cord is what separates premium packaging from ordinary packaging at the detail level. The metal end stops fraying, makes the cord easier to thread, and adds a hardware finish that can match the rest of your trims.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared With General rope
A plain cord is the volume choice. Metal ends are for packaging where the detail is looked at.
Compared With Customized rope
A woven brand cord carries colour and text. A metal end adds hardware finish. They are often combined.
How To Order This Well
- Post hardware samples if the plating must match
- Tell us the eyelet size so the fitting passes through
- Keep engraved marks simple at fitting size
- Check the plating tone on the sample in daylight
Metal End Rope Questions
Can the metal tone match our buttons?
Send physical samples of the hardware you are matching to.
Can the fitting be engraved?
Where the size allows. Send the artwork and the fitting size and we will advise.
Does the metal end make assembly easier?
Yes, that is one of its practical benefits, particularly with small eyelets.
Will the plating tarnish?
Tell us the storage and climate conditions and we will specify a finish that holds.
