This 20 mm / 0.79 in zamak metal drawstring end is a compact bonded cord-finishing accessory for apparel, bags, sportswear, hobby products, and accessories. It is designed for cords with an approximately 4.4 mm / 0.17 in outside diameter and provides a clean end detail where exposed drawstrings would otherwise look unfinished.
The product has a simple metal body that works well in collections where the cord end should feel intentional but not overly decorative. It can support a more complete product finish on hoodies, sweatshirts, drawstring bags, organizers, lightweight sports accessories, and textile projects with compatible cords.
A Small Detail That Improves the Finished Product
Customers often notice drawstring details when they handle a garment or bag. A raw, frayed, or uneven cord end can make an otherwise well-made product feel unfinished. A correctly fitted metal cord end helps create a cleaner visual finish and can reinforce the product’s perceived quality.
This model is suitable when you need a slim, straightforward metal end instead of a large stopper, decorative bead, or mechanical clamp. It is a good choice for product designs where the cord itself remains the main visual element.
Checking Cord Compatibility Before Ordering
The technical entry size is approximately 4.4 mm / 0.17 in. The product may also appear in a nominal 4.5 mm cord-entry group, but the actual cord diameter should be measured before production.
Cords with the same listed diameter can fit differently depending on braid density, coating, core material, surface texture, and cut-end stiffness. Test the exact cord you plan to use. The cord should slide into the metal end without forcing or deforming the opening.
Bonded Installation
This drawstring end is installed by bonding the cord into the metal body. Trim the cord cleanly, remove loose fibers, and make sure the cord end is dry and free from dust before applying adhesive.
Use a bonding product suited to the cord material and zamak metal. Apply only the amount needed for secure contact. Excess adhesive can seep out around the opening and reduce the clean finish of the final product. Keep the cord aligned while the adhesive cures fully.
For bags, heavy-duty drawstrings, or applications exposed to strong repeated pulling, test the finished assembly under expected use conditions. A bond-on cord end should be selected based on the actual load and construction of the finished item.
Nickel and Gold Hardware Styling
Nickel is a versatile choice for black, navy, gray, white, and technical apparel. It works naturally with silver-tone zipper pulls, eyelets, cord locks, hooks, and metal labels.
Gold adds a warmer visual direction for tan, beige, cream, burgundy, brown, and fashion-led accessory collections. Matching the cord end with nearby hardware creates a more deliberate design language and helps the product feel more professionally finished.
Pairing With Cord Locks
On drawstring garments, sportswear, bags, and adjustable openings, cord ends can be combined with compatible cord locks. The cord end finishes the exposed tip; the stopper provides the adjustment function.
Choose a stopper only after confirming the cord thickness and the hole diameter. A matching nominal size is helpful, but testing the actual cord remains important for smooth movement and reliable function.
Custom Branding and Product Development
Custom drawstring ends can be developed with logo details, lettering, surface texture, custom size, alternative cord entry, special finish, or unique form. This is especially useful for private-label hoodies, sportswear, footwear, bags, and accessory collections that need a recognizable branded detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cord diameter fits this drawstring end?
The technical entry is approximately 4.4 mm / 0.17 in. Test the actual cord because textile construction can affect fit.

No. This is a bond-on cord end. It is applied by bonding the prepared cord end into the metal body.
How many pieces are in the pack?
The package contains 50 individual drawstring ends.
Can it be used on hoodie drawstrings?
Yes, when the drawstring diameter is compatible with the approximately 4.4 mm / 0.17 in opening.
Can it be used with thick braided cords?
Very thick cords, including many 6 mm and larger braided cords, are not suitable for this entry size. Choose a larger-entry or clamp-on cord end for those applications.
