Drawcords
Our drawcord collection combines vibrant color and diverse constructions to deliver both style and function. As a wholesale drawcord supplier, we work closely with customers to develop braided drawcords that match their aesthetic vision, performance requirements and budget. Whether you want a subtle accent or a statement feature, our drawcords are engineered for durability and appeal, and they are available in a range of widths, materials and finishes. Optimized for high-volume production and long service life, they are trusted by brands seeking efficient drawcord sourcing and dependable drawcord supplier/drawcord wholesale solutions. Our vertically integrated operations mean you're partnering directly with the drawcord manufacturer, not a middleman, ensuring clear communication and competitive pricing.
Manufacturing Excellence in Action
As a drawcord manufacturer, our vertically integrated production process gives us complete control over every step—from material selection through spinning, braiding, tipping and packaging. Manufacturing braided cord begins by selecting fibres such as polyester or nylon based on strength, flexibility and colorfastness. The fibres are spun into yarns, which are dyed and wound onto bobbins. Advanced braiding machines interlace these yarns in specific patterns to produce round or flat cords. After braiding, cords are finished with heat treatments or resin coatings to stabilize their shape and enhance durability. Quality control checks ensure uniform braid structure, cord strength and consistent colour/texture. Only cords that meet our standards are wound onto reels and carefully packaged.
We also invest in innovative tipping technologies. Traditional drawcords use acetate film to bond end tips, creating composite materials that complicate recycling. Our patent-pending film-free tipping process uses heat-pressing and specialized resin coatings to completely eliminate acetate film. This mono-material finish maintains the same aesthetics and functionality while improving recyclability and reducing raw material consumption by 15-20%. The streamlined process lowers energy use by about 25% versus film-bonding methods and supports multiple sustainability certifications.
| Specification | Standard range | Premium/additional options | Custom available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cord width | Typical widths 5/64 – 3/8 inch (≈2–10 mm) for fashion and outdoor garments. | Larger widths up to 1/2 inch (12 mm) for oversized garments, outerwear or equipment; narrower cords (≈1/8 inch) for lightweight garments or accessories. | Yes — widths can be customized to suit specific applications. |
| Material composition | 100% polyester braided cords offer high strength and weather resistance. | Blends such as polyester, nylon or spandex provide different softness, durability and elasticity; recycled polyester for sustainability. | Yes — we can source custom fibre blends to meet brand requirements. |
| Construction type | Braided drawcords with parallel ribs that narrow when stretched, ideal for casings and decorative tapes. | Flat or round braids, woven cords or knit cords to suit specific strength and stretch needs. | Yes — we develop bespoke constructions (flat, round, diamond braid) and combine braiding with knitting or weaving. |
| Aesthetic/finish | Standard finishes include reflective or matte effects. | Options include luminous yarns, metallic fibres, printed or jacquard patterns, silicone-dipped tips, multi-colour plastic tips and metal ends for branding. | Yes — unique textures, logos or patterns can be woven, printed or embossed. |
| Tipping options | Standard acetate-film tips (traditional) or our film-free resin tipping with heat-pressed mono-material finish. | Silicone, plastic or metal tips; options for luminous, magnetic or non-slip features; custom colours and branding. | Yes — choose shape, material and attachment style to complement your design. |
| Color options | Multi-colour cords with solid, marled or striped patterns. | Pantone-matched solid colours, heather blends, space-dyed effects and reactive or solution-dyed yarns for improved colourfastness. | Yes — colour matching and custom patterns are available. |
| Minimum order | 10,000 m for standard braided cords (typical production batch). | Reduced minimums for select styles or sampling runs. | Negotiable depending on complexity. |
| Lead time | 2–3 weeks for standard cords. | 4–5 weeks for custom colours, finishes or film-free tipping; longer for highly complex designs. | Yes — we work with customers to meet specific timelines. |

Top Questions about Our Drawcords
Braided drawcords are typically made from polyester, nylon or blends. Polyester cords offer excellent strength and weather resistance. Nylon adds flexibility and abrasion resistance, and spandex can add stretch. Selecting the right material depends on desired comfort, durability and appearance.
Narrow cords (≈3/16 inch) create a discreet, lightweight look and are suitable for fashion garments or child apparel. Wider cords (3/8 inch and above) distribute tension more evenly and offer better grip, making them ideal for outerwear, bags or outdoor gear. We can customize widths to match garment weight, style and brand identity.
Braided drawcords have parallel ribs and narrow when stretched; they lose some resiliency when sewn and are suitable for casings, waistbands or decorative tapes. Woven cords (no-roll) maintain their width when stretched and provide the highest resiliency, making them ideal for heavy fabrics. Knit cords are softer, retain their width and offer gentle stretch—perfect for light- to mid-weight fabrics. Choosing the right construction ensures the cord performs as intended.
Traditional drawcords use acetate film to bond the tips, creating composite materials that hinder recycling. Our patent-pending film-free tipping technology uses heat-pressing and specialized resin coatings to eliminate acetate film. This yields a mono-material cord tip that retains the same finish and durability while improving recyclability and reducing raw material usage.
Yes. We can weave or print logos and patterns directly into the cord or apply silicone, plastic or metal tips with embossed or debossed branding. Additional options include multi-colour plastic tips, silicone-dipped tips with glossy or transparent finishes, and metal tips for a premium look. Our team can also match Pantone colours, create jacquard patterns or incorporate reflective or luminous fibres.
Absolutely. We offer cords made from recycled polyester and other eco-friendly fibres. Our film-free tipping technology enables complete recyclability and reduces waste. We also comply with environmental certifications like OEKO-TEX® and GRS, ensuring our products meet stringent sustainability requirements.
