Cord End Metal Length 11 mm entry 7 mm - 0,27" Zigzag Perforated B0008

This 11 mm (0.43 in) zigzag-detail metal cord end has a documented 7 mm (0.28 in) cord entry. Made from zinc alloy (zamak), it gives a drawcord or decorative cord a more considered finish without hiding the cord as a design feature. It's a useful part to compare for bags, drawstring garments, textile accessories and other projects where the cord tip remains visible. Before choosing the finish, match the actual cord thickness to the entry opening and test your intended assembly.

A Small Cord-End Detail That Makes a Difference

Cord tips are often among the last components chosen, but they are also visible on the finished item. This model's zigzag perforations make it distinct from a completely plain cap. Consider it when you want a metal accent on the end of a textile drawcord. The part does not automatically fit every cord advertised as 7 mm, because braid structure, compressibility and cut-end treatment affect the finished thickness.

Verified Measurements and Construction

These numbers describe different aspects of the component. The 7 mm measurement refers to the cord entry; it is not a claim about the outside width. Measure the real cord after cutting and finishing it. The behavior of a soft braided cord may differ from that of a tightly packed or stiff cord. Make a sample rather than forcing the cord into a smaller opening.

Preparing the Cord for a Neat Finish

Inspect the cut end for loose fibers, unraveling and excess bulk. Choose any preparation technique according to the cord's actual material; don't assume a specific glue, heat treatment or pressing method is suitable for every cord. The product attribute describes a knotted application, so include the knot or retained end in your fit test. The final attachment should be checked for movement, fraying and the way the metal edge contacts the textile.

Once the sample is complete, gently handle the cord in the direction it will be pulled on a finished bag or garment. Look for sliding or twisting at the tip. If the part does not sit as expected, recheck entry clearance and the preparation of the cord before increasing your order quantity.

Picking a Finish That Works With Other Hardware

Think about the zipper pulls, rings and buckles used elsewhere in the project. Cord tips can tie those pieces together visually when the metal shades are compatible. Available finishes are shown with the live product options; do not assume an option listed in a product image is available in every order. A physical sample is the best way to compare subtle metal tones under the same lighting.

From First Sample to Repeat Production

For a small repair or design sample, check one cord first. For repeat orders, keep a production note with the cord material, the accepted cord-tip model and the selected finish. If the cord supplier or braid changes, repeat the test. Similar nominal diameters don't guarantee identical fit or grip. This extra check is especially worthwhile when manufacturing garments or bags with multiple cord ends.

We're happy to help you compare options for your project. Share the approximate cord diameter and how the finished item will be used, and we'll help you narrow down the choices. Check the product options for currently offered finishes and ordering terms before completing checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cord fits this metal cord end?

The listed entry is 7 mm (0.28 in). Test the actual cord, especially if it is soft, stiff or tightly braided.

Is 11 mm the opening size?

No. The body length is 11 mm (0.43 in), while the entry is listed as 7 mm (0.28 in).

How does the cord attach?

The technical attribute mentions a knotted cord-end application. Check the finished sample for secure retention.

Can it work on drawstring bags?

It can be evaluated for textile drawcord projects, provided the cord and assembly fit.

How should I choose the color?

Review the live options and compare a physical sample with other metal hardware when shade consistency matters.

What should I check before a larger order?

Confirm fit, finish, the finished cord tip and live product options with an approved sample.
