{"title":"Cord Stoppers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCord stoppers – adjustment in one movement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCord stoppers (cord locks) are small fasteners through which a cord passes and which hold it in the desired position. Pressing the button releases the spring, the cord is pulled or loosened, and when released the stopper grips it again. This way a hood, waist, jacket hem or backpack opening is adjusted quickly without tying a knot. Polkom, a manufacturer and wholesaler of garment accessories, offers wholesale cord stoppers to makers of clothing, sports and outdoor gear, bags and backpacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypes of cord stoppers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBy number of holes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-hole\u003c\/strong\u003e – for a single cord, for example at the end of a sleeve or on a backpack's elastic shock cord.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-hole\u003c\/strong\u003e – both ends of the cord run in parallel; the most common option for hoods and waists.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBy material\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic cord stoppers in polyacetal (POM) or polyamide are light, resistant to moisture and cold, and do not rattle. They are standard on sportswear, jackets and backpacks. Metal cord stoppers in zinc alloy have a more premium look, allow a logo and various finishes, and are preferred in fashion collections. The spring is usually stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBy shape\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCylindrical, oval, flat, tapered and decorative cord stoppers are available, as well as models with a cord loop for attaching to the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe size of a cord stopper is determined by the hole diameter, which must match the cord thickness. Most garment cords use holes of about 3 to 6 mm. If the hole is too wide, the stopper will not hold; if it is too narrow, the cord will move with difficulty. Send us a sample of the cord if you are not sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinishes, colours and logo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic cord stoppers are available in black, white and colours matched to a sample. Metal ones come in nickel, gunmetal, black, gold and matt finishes. On metal models and some plastic ones we can apply a logo by embossing, engraving or printing.

In volume production, cord stoppers are fitted before or after the channel is finally closed, depending on the construction. It is worth checking the spring tension with your cord – smoother synthetic cords need a firmer grip than braided cotton ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere cord stoppers are used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJackets, anoraks and hooded sweatshirts\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSports and hiking trousers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBackpacks, drawstring bags and cases\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSki and mountain hats and tops\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTents, sleeping bags and equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Polkom and how to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than 10,000 articles, large stock, fast samples and delivery across the EU.
