Pre-tied nylon cord loops
Ideal for hanging tags & tickets. This is an extremely strong natural nylon cord (not the cord above).
Why by pre-tied loops? If you have you ever tried tying 100's of these then you will know the answer.
Besides extreme finger/hand fatigue it is almost impossible to obtain a consistent sized loop.
Tatty or poor looking tags do not sell items!
