Metal hook

Metal hook

The Metal hook is a metal fastening ending incorporated into the end of cords, elastic cords or tapes to make assembly easier and provide a practical, resistant and well-defined finish.
Thanks to its shape, this metal cord ending can be used to tie, fix, fasten or anchor the product depending on the application. It works as a small metal anchor ending for cords, avoiding manual knotting when a faster, cleaner and easier-to-repeat assembly is required.
At LIASA, we supply the cord, elastic cord or tape with the Metal hook already incorporated, cut to the requested length and ready for the customer’s final application. The ending is applied automatically, helping to speed up the process, achieve a more precise finish and reduce later handling during the customer’s assembly process.

Design

The Metal hook can be adapted to different visual and functional requirements depending on the final product.
In addition to the standard metal finish, colour or finish options such as gold, silver or other finishes can be assessed on request. This allows the ending to be matched to the appearance of the cord, elastic cord or tape, as well as to the design of tags, sample cards, cases, promotional items or product presentations.

Customisation and supply

As manufacturers, we can adapt the finish to the customer’s project by combining the Metal hook with different types of cord, elastic cord or tape, lengths, colours, diameters and presentations.
We supply the pieces already cut, finished and ready to use, helping to reduce later operations and maintain a consistent finish across the whole supply.
