Standard semi-rigid braided polyester staple fibre cords

DESCRIPTION

SERIE ZS
This semi-rigid polyester staple fibre cord, also known as PSF, is designed for applications that require a fine, resistant cord with a good visual presence in the final product.
Its structure gives the cord body and makes it easier to handle in small pieces, while maintaining a neat textile finish in applications where the cord remains visible. With a diameter of 1.7 mm, it offers a discreet, functional and easy-to-integrate solution for products that require handling, assembly and continued use.
It is especially suitable as a cord for car air fresheners, hanging air fresheners, tags, sample cards, cases, gift boxes, promotional items, trimmings, costume jewellery and crafts. Its minimum breaking strength of 25 kg reinforces its technical reliability, without limiting its use to high-load applications.

Technical specifications

As manufacturers, we develop technical cords for applications that require resistance, good assembly behaviour and a carefully finished outer appearance.

• Technical composition: Braided round cord made from polyester staple fibre, PSF. This material provides body, consistency and a textile appearance suitable for products where the cord, string or hanger remains visible.
• Available diameter: 1.7 mm ±0.5 mm, a fine and functional size for small pieces, reduced perforations and compact assembly systems.
• Minimum breaking strength: Minimum load capacity of 25 kg, a relevant technical performance for a cord of this diameter and useful in applications where a reliable and durable fastening solution is required.
• Semi-rigid behaviour: Its structure makes handling easier during assembly while maintaining the flexibility needed to work with knots, endings or customised finishes.
• Customisation: We can adapt length, colour, finish and presentation according to the technical, functional and visual requirements of each project.

Applications and uses

Applications where a fine, resistant, visible and easy-to-assemble cord is required, with a special focus on air fresheners and small products.

• Car air fresheners: Main application as a cord for car air fresheners. Its diameter makes assembly easier in compact pieces, while its body allows the hanging cord to be handled comfortably in products that are fitted, handled or replaced frequently.
• Hanging air fresheners and scented products: String for air fresheners, scented hangers, perfumed products, wardrobes, small indoor spaces and decorative fragrance items. Its structure makes handling easier and allows the hanger to be adapted to different product formats.
• Tags, card tags and sample cards: Cord for tags, card tags, commercial samples and sample cards that require a resistant, discreet piece that is easy to insert through small perforations.
• Cases, gift boxes and e-commerce boxes: Suitable for presentations where the cord forms part of the product’s visible finish, such as closures, light handles, decorative fastenings or presentation details.
• Promotional items and merchandising: Hanging cord for corporate gifts, customised pieces and promotional products that require a functional, visible component that can be adapted to the brand image.
• Trimmings, costume jewellery and crafts: Used in small accessories, decorative elements, costume jewellery, crafts and fashion jewellery, especially in projects that require a cord with body, good resistance and a neat finish.

Design

Available in grey and black, two versatile colours that are easy to integrate into promotional, decorative or technical products.
Polyester staple fibre provides an outer finish with a textile appearance, giving the cord a neat visual presence and a pleasant touch. For specific projects, we can assess colour, length and finish customisation to adapt the product to the aesthetic requirements of each application.

Finishes and endings

We can adapt the cord with endings that make assembly easier, improve presentation and reduce later handling operations:

• Cut and pressed: Compact and functional finish for pieces that require a clean ending prepared for assembly.
• Film hook: Ending designed to make insertion easier in specific pieces, perforations or assembly systems.
• Metal hook: Metal ending that provides a more defined finish and can make handling or insertion easier depending on the application.
• Knotted finish: Cut-to-size cord with a knot at one end, designed to deliver the piece ready for application and reduce handling time.
• Label knot: Solution for tags, samples, cases or sample cards that allows the set to be supplied already prepared, with a neat presentation and ready for use.
• Knot with washer: Functional finish for attaching tags or small accessories when a more defined fixing point is required.
• Custom-made finish: Adaptation of length, ending, colour, handling or presentation according to the final product and the customer’s assembly system.

Delivery formats

Supply can be adapted to the production process, volume and handling level required by each project.

• Cut-to-size pieces: Pieces prepared in the requested length to speed up assembly.
• Pieces with ending: Supplied with the ending or finish already incorporated to reduce later operations.
• Reels by the metre: Continuous format for customers who need to cut, adapt or assemble the cord during their own production process.
• Special preparations: Possibility to adjust presentation, grouping, length or finish according to the customer’s workflow.
