Metal Clamp Cord End for Thinner Tres Cord
Metal clamp cord end is a practical finishing accessory for thinner tres cords used in bags, garments, sportswear, hood cords, accessories and decorative textile products. It helps secure the cord end while giving the finished item a cleaner and more professional appearance.
Instead of relying only on ready-made acetate-tipped cords with fixed lengths, this clamp cord end allows the user to cut the cord to the exact length required for each product. This makes production more flexible and helps reduce unnecessary cord stock.
Simple Clamp Assembly
The cord is passed through the capsule body of the cord end. Then the clamp teeth on the cap are pressed onto the cord to hold it securely. This creates a clean cord finish without needing a separate acetate tip process.
This model has a 5.5 mm / 0.22 in cord opening. Depending on the cord structure, softness and braid density, it can be used with tres cords up to approximately 6 mm / 0.24 in. Testing with the actual cord is recommended before bulk production.
More Freedom with Cord Length
One of the biggest advantages of this clamp cord end is length flexibility. Manufacturers can buy cord in rolls, bundles or bulk lengths and cut it only when needed. This reduces dependence on fixed-length acetate-tipped cords and supports a more flexible production workflow.
For workshops producing different bag models, garment sizes or seasonal collections, this flexibility can make stock planning easier. A single cord stock can be used across multiple products, helping reduce waste and unnecessary inventory.
Cost-Saving Production Advantage
Pre-made cord tips may require additional preparation, fixed sizes and separate stock planning. This clamp cord tip helps simplify the process by allowing the cord to be finished after cutting. The result is easier production control, less preparation time and a cleaner final product.
It is especially useful for bag makers, garment manufacturers, sportswear producers, accessory brands and small workshops that need both practical assembly and a professional finish.
Same Outer Size, Different Cord Opening Option
An 8 mm / 0.31 in cord opening version is also available. Both models have the same outer size; the main difference is the cord opening. This 5.5 mm / 0.22 in model is suitable for thinner cords, while the 8 mm / 0.31 in version is designed for thicker tres cords.
