Semi-rigid standard braided polyester cords with cotton core

DESCRIPTION

Series ZS
For car air fresheners, tags, packaging and small accessories, the cord needs to be easy to assemble, resistant and visually well integrated into the final product. This product combines a polyester cover with a cotton core, providing body, a neat finish and good performance in parts that require handling, assembly and continuous use.
Its 1.7 mm diameter makes it suitable for small parts and compact assembly systems, while its minimum strength of 25 kg provides a solid technical response for applications that need a discreet yet resistant cord.
Compared with synthetic solutions without a core, the inner cotton provides a more porous structure and greater body, while maintaining the outer resistance of polyester. As it does not include internal wire, it allows firm knots, terminals and customised finishes to be worked more naturally, adapting to air freshener, tag, packaging, trimming and promotional item projects.

Technical specifications

As manufacturers, we develop technical cords for applications that require resistance, good assembly performance and a neat finish.

• Technical composition: Round braided product with polyester cover and cotton core. Polyester provides outer resistance, while the inner cotton gives body and a more porous structure compared with solutions without a core or with a fully synthetic composition. Available diameter: 1.7 mm ±0.5 mm.
• Load capacity: Minimum strength of 25 kg, a notable performance for a cord of this diameter. This makes it a reliable solution for applications that need a compact, resistant fastening that is easy to integrate into the final product.
• Behaviour: The combination of polyester cover and cotton core provides optimal rigidity without the need for internal wire. This cotton-core cord keeps its body, while retaining the flexibility needed to create firm knots, neat ends and terminals with a clean finish.
• Customisation: It can be adapted to each project through custom length, colour, finish or terminal, adjusting to the product design, assembly system and visual requirements of each application.

Applications and uses

Ideal for sectors where the cord needs to fasten, make assembly easier and improve the final presentation of the product.

• Car air fresheners: Main application as a cord for car air fresheners. Its size makes it suitable for compact parts, and its minimum strength of 25 kg provides security in products that are fitted, handled or replaced frequently.
• Home air fresheners and decoration: Suitable as an air freshener hanger for wardrobes, indoor spaces and decorative fragrance products. Its body helps achieve a more refined presentation than a soft cord or one without an inner structure.
• Tags and graphic arts: A solution for tags, cards, samples and graphic supports that require a resistant, discreet fastening that is easy to integrate into the product presentation.
• Packaging, gifts and e-commerce boxes: Suitable for cases, promotional packs, samples and e-commerce boxes where the cord forms part of the visual finish and helps reinforce the perception of quality.
• Promotional items and merchandising: Application in corporate gifts, customised pieces and promotional products that need a functional, visible component that can be adapted to the brand image.
• Garment making, trimmings, costume jewellery and crafts: Used in garment making, trimmings, small accessories, decorative elements, costume jewellery, crafts and fashion jewellery, especially in projects that require a cord with body, good resistance and a neat visible finish.

Design

Available in grey and black, two versatile colours that are easy to integrate into promotional, decorative or technical products.
The polyester cover gives a textile-like appearance, with a neat look and pleasant feel. The cotton core reinforces the sense of body in the cord, avoiding a flat or inconsistent finish.
For specific projects, custom colours, lengths and finishes can be considered, adapting the product to the aesthetic and functional needs of each application.

Endings and finishes

We can adapt the cord with finishes that make assembly easier, improve presentation and reduce later handling.

• Cut and pressed: Finish that prevents fraying and compacts the end of the cord, making it easier to pass through tight holes and speed up assembly.
• Film hook: Terminal that acts as an anchor once inserted into the piece, avoiding the need for a knot and providing a clean, discreet fastening.
• Knot end: Cord cut to size with a knot at one end, designed to deliver the piece ready for its final application and reduce handling time.
• Tag Knot: Solution for tags, samples or packaging that allows the set to be supplied already assembled, with a neat presentation and ready for use.
• Knotted loop: Elegant and functional finish for attaching tags, especially useful when a more defined fixing point is required.
• Bespoke: Customisation of length, finish, colour, handling or presentation according to the final product and the customer’s assembly system.

Delivery formats

The supply can be adjusted to the production process, volume and level of handling required by each project.

• Cut to size: Pieces prepared in the requested length to speed up assembly.
• Finished pieces: Supplied with the finish already incorporated to reduce later operations.
• Spools by meters: 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.
