Woven Cord and String No 1
Round and flat cord for drawstrings, handles and hang tags, matched to the webbing on the same product.
What This Item Is
Woven Cord and String No 1 is produced to a customer drawing, not to a catalogue size. We weave it between 0.65 mm and 2.5 mm thick, with the width taken from whatever you send us. You approve the colour on woven material rather than on a screen, and the reserved dye lot keeps it that way. Samples take 3 to 7 days and production 7 to 15 days once the sample is approved.
Key Benefits
- Cut and tipped lengths supplied where you want to skip an operation
- Consistent diameter along the roll so automatic threading does not jam
- Sample lengths in 3 to 7 days before you commit the colour
- Woven to your width and to a thickness anywhere from 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm
- Pantone colour matching against a number or against a swatch you send us
Problems It Solves
- Two suppliers, two dye lots and two different shades on one product
- Shade that drifts between the approved sample and the delivered rolls
- Suppliers who quote a price without committing to a date
Who It Is For

- Polypropylene cord where weight and cost dominate

- SGS testing arranged on request before shipment
What You Can Change
- Metal or heat sealed tipping on cut lengths

How This Item Is Made
- Yarn and construction selection
- Colour matching to your webbing reference
- Braiding or weaving
- Setting and diameter check
- Optional cutting and tipping
- Coiling, measuring and packing
How It Compares
Cord passes through eyelets and channels that flat tape cannot, and it knots cleanly. Tape spreads load across a width, which cord does not.
Elastic cord is for anything that needs to give. Fixed cord holds a set length, which is what a drawstring or a hang tag actually wants.
Braided and woven cord holds its round section and resists untwisting. Twisted string is cheaper but opens up at the cut end.
Use Guide
- State whether the cord is cut before or after dyeing, as the end finish differs
- Give the eyelet or channel diameter and we will recommend the cord size
- Ask for heat sealed or metal tipping if the cord is threaded by hand on your line
- Order cord and webbing together so both are dyed against one reference

Questions Buyers Ask About Woven Cord and String No 1
What is the minimum order for cord and string
1000 metres per colour and construction, matching our standard webbing minimum. Samples are available in 3 to 7 days.
Can you match cord to the webbing on the same order
Yes, and it is worth asking for. We dye both from one colour reference and check them against each other rather than only against the swatch, which is how a matched set actually stays matched.
Can our logo be added to this tape
Either woven in with a computer jacquard plate, which survives washing and abrasion, or screen printed after weaving, which costs less to set up on short runs.
How is this item packed for export
50 yards per roll and 30 rolls per carton as standard, with some items on 500 yard rolls. We pack to your own list when you have one.
Which shipping and payment terms do you work on
EXW, FOB or CIF for shipping. Payment by T/T, Western Union or PayPal.
