The cord end is the last detail of a drawstring – and the first one the buyer touches. It keeps the end from fraying, makes it easier to thread through eyelets and channels, and carries the style of the brand. At Polkom we offer 64 models of metal cord ends – conical, round, flat for tapes, designer, geometric, tubes and spheres – each in 9 finishes. Here you will find the code, dimensions, approximate opening and profile of every model, plus a downloadable size chart.

9 colours and finishes

Every model is available in 9 finishes. Gold, light gold, silver, black oxide, gun metal and rose gold have a glossy surface. Antique silver, antique oxide and antique brass have a matte, patinated surface – darker in the relief and lighter on the edges, like aged metal. Colours in the photos are approximate; when you order, we send a sample first.

The article code combines the model code and the colour code, for example NK-101-GD (Gold) or NK-506-AB (Antique Brass).

Conical cord ends

The classic shape for drawstrings on sweatshirts, jackets and joggers: the wide opening encloses the end of the cord, and the cone makes threading through eyelets and channels easier.

How to choose the size

The opening of the cord end should be slightly larger than the diameter of the cord – usually by about 0.3–0.5 mm if the end will be glued or crimped.
Flat cord ends (NK-3xx) are for flat cords and tapes – choose the width according to the width of the tape.
The length determines how much of the cord is covered and how much visual weight the detail carries: short models for delicate products, long ones for sports and streetwear collections.
The opening sizes in the tables are approximate (measured from photos). We confirm the exact size with a sample before you order.

How they are attached

Metal cord ends are fixed onto the end of the cord by crimping with a suitable tool or with adhesive – depending on the model and the cord material. Send us a sample of your cord and we will recommend the model and the attachment method.

Cord ends with your logo

The flat, geometric and larger round models have a surface suitable for an engraved or embossed logo. Send us your logo in vector format for a check and a sample.

Minimum order and samples

The minimum order is 1000 pcs. Before you order we send a sample so you can check the colour, size and opening with your cord.

Looking for an exact size or colour to match a sample? Send us the cord or a description of the product – we will suggest a model and send you a sample. Send an inquiry →

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How are metal cord ends attached?

Crimp cord ends are pressed around the end of the cord with a manual or machine press, while hollow-barrel models are fixed with glue or a pin. Before fitting, the end of the cord is usually heat-sealed so it does not fray. In volume production, we recommend testing samples with your cord.

What size cord end do I need?

The inner diameter of the cord end should match the diameter of the cord. For most round hoodie drawstrings it is between about 3 and 6 mm. For flat cords, go by the width. Send us a few centimetres of the cord and we will suggest the exact model and, if needed, a sample to test.

Can cord ends carry a logo?

Yes. Metal cord ends can have an engraved or embossed logo, lettering around the circumference or a specific shape. We need a vector file of the logo, the cord size and the finish you want. Once you approve the sample, which you can test with your cord, we move on to production.

Should I choose metal or plastic cord ends?

Metal cord ends look more premium, allow a logo and are more wear-resistant, so they are preferred in fashion and sports collections. Plastic ones are lighter, quieter and suit footwear, childrenswear and volume production. The choice depends on the style, load and budget of the product.
