20 mm / 0.79 in Zamak Metal Cord End, 4.4 mm / 0.17 in Entry, 50 Pieces E2092PROMO

This 20 mm / 0.79 in zamak metal cord end is a compact finishing accessory for drawstrings, cords, and laces used in apparel, bags, sports accessories, and textile-based projects. Its actual inner entry is approximately 4.4 mm / 0.17 in, while the nominal product name refers to the 4.5 mm cord-entry class.

A small cord end can make a visible difference in how a finished product is perceived. Instead of leaving a raw cord end exposed, this metal tip helps create a more controlled finish and can support a coordinated hardware look alongside eyelets, stoppers, zipper pulls, rings, and buckles.

Where Can This Metal Cord End Be Used?

This cord end is suitable for hoodie and sweatshirt drawstrings, bag cords, sports accessories, textile organizers, decorative drawstring projects, DIY products, and small accessory designs. It is best used where the cord end should look finished without adding a bulky decorative component.

Before selecting a cord end, measure the actual outside diameter of the cord. The entry is approximately 4.4 mm / 0.17 in, so a thicker cord may not fit correctly even when it appears visually close in size.

Understanding the 4.4 mm / 0.17 in Cord Entry

The product is commonly described in the 4.5 mm cord-entry group, but its stated technical inside measurement is 4.4 mm / 0.17 in. Cord thickness can vary depending on the braid density, textile material, coated finish, end stiffness, and whether the cord has been cut or heat-sealed.

For the cleanest result, test the selected cord before full production. The cord should enter the metal end without being forced. A cord that is too large may distort the opening, prevent proper adhesive contact, or make the finished end look uneven.

Bond-On Installation Guidance

This model is installed by bonding the cord end into the metal body. Trim the cord cleanly, remove loose fibers, and make sure the application area is dry and free from dust or finishing residue. Select an adhesive that is compatible with both the cord material and zamak metal.

Apply adhesive in a controlled amount. Too much adhesive can squeeze out around the opening and affect the finished appearance. Insert the cord straight into the cord end, remove any visible excess immediately, and allow the adhesive to cure fully according to the manufacturer’s instructions before use.

For high-pull applications, heavy bags, or equipment exposed to repeated load, test the finished cord end under real-use conditions. A bond-on cord end should be selected according to the expected pull force and product construction.

Nickel or Gold Finish?

Nickel is a strong choice for silver-tone hardware, black and navy products, gray fabrics, technical collections, and modern bag designs. It coordinates naturally with nickel zipper teeth, metal eyelets, cord locks, and bag hardware.

Gold works well with beige, tan, cream, burgundy, warm brown, and vintage-inspired collections. For a more polished result, choose a finish that aligns with the zipper pull, eyelets, buckles, rings, and other visible metal accessories in the same product.

Choosing Between Bond-On and Clamp-On Cord Ends

This is a bond-on metal cord end. It is appropriate for compatible cord diameters and products where a smooth, simple outer profile is preferred. For thicker cords or projects where a mechanical clamping structure is required, a clamp-on cord end may be a better choice.

Pairing Cord Ends With Cord Locks

In hoodie, sportswear, bag, and drawstring products, a cord end can be paired with a cord lock. The cord end finishes the exposed tip, while the stopper helps the user adjust the drawstring length or opening.

For two-end drawstring systems, choose a stopper only after checking that the cord diameter and hole size are compatible with the actual project.

Custom Cord End Production

Metal cord ends can be developed with custom length, entry size, shape, finish, logo, lettering, texture, or branded surface details. For private-label hoodie, bag, footwear, sportswear, and accessory collections, a small customized cord end can create a recognizable finishing detail without changing the product’s core function.
