Colored Cable Ties — Solid, Neon & Custom Colours in Bulk
When every cable in a rack looks the same, a splash of colour turns a tangle into a system. Coloured cable ties let you colour-code circuits, mark priority lines, separate departments or simply finish a job cleanly — so the right cable is found in seconds, not minutes. From a single bold red to a full rainbow of shades, colour is the fastest way to add identification and order to any bundle.
Shangbo Plastics manufactures colored cable ties in eleven solid colours plus bright fluorescent neon shades, in both PA66 nylon and polypropylene. Available across the full size range with tensile strengths from 18 lb to 50 lb, UL94 V-2 flame-rated and offered in UV-stabilised grades for outdoor use, our coloured zip ties suit colour-coding, identification and decorative work alike. We supply distributors, importers and industrial buyers factory-direct — with custom Pantone colour matching, flexible quantities and OEM packaging.

Available Colours
Our coloured cable ties are moulded in the colour throughout — not surface-painted — so the shade will not chip, peel or rub off in handling. Choose from a wide standard range or specify your own custom colour:
Solid colours
Red, blue, green (including dark green and lime green), yellow, black, white, orange, brown, grey, purple and pink. These cover almost every colour-coding scheme and are the everyday choice for identification and general bundling.
Neon green, neon pink, neon orange and neon yellow. These high-visibility fluorescent shades stand out in low light and busy environments — ideal for safety marking, events, staging and any job where a tie must catch the eye instantly.
For brand work or a specific colour-coding standard, we match to your Pantone or RAL reference on OEM orders. This lets distributors offer a branded range or a client-specific colour that competitors cannot supply off the shelf.

Why Use Colored Cable Ties — Colour-Coding & Identification
Colour is the quickest visual signal there is. Using coloured zip ties to code your cables and bundles saves time, cuts errors and makes maintenance far easier:
- Faster identification — Trace and find the right cable at a glance instead of following each line by hand — a real time-saver in dense racks and panels.
- Fewer costly errors — Colour-code by circuit, voltage, department or priority so the wrong cable is far less likely to be pulled or cut during service.
- Simple visual systems — Assign a colour to each function (e.g. red for power, blue for data, green for earth) for an instantly readable, low-cost coding scheme.
- Safety & high-visibility — Fluorescent and neon ties flag hazards, temporary lines or trip risks so they are seen quickly in low light or busy sites.
- Clean, branded finish — Match ties to corporate or product colours for a tidy, professional look in installations, events and retail display.
Types of Colored Cable Ties
By material
- PA66 Nylon — The standard choice — good tensile strength, a crisp colour finish and UL94 V-2 flame rating for general indoor bundling.
- Polypropylene (PP) — A lighter, chemical-resistant option for environments where nylon is less suitable, such as damp or mildly corrosive areas.
By colour type
- Standard solid colours — Eleven everyday shades for colour-coding and general use.
- Fluorescent / neon — High-visibility shades for safety marking and standout applications.
- UV-stabilised colours — Colour-stable grades that resist sunlight for longer outdoor service.
- Custom Pantone-matched — Your exact brand or scheme colour, produced to order.

Key Features of Our Colored Cable Ties
Moulded-Through Colour
Each tie is moulded in colour throughout, so the shade runs all the way through the material rather than sitting on the surface. That means the colour will not chip, peel or fade with handling. Your colour-coding stays clear and consistent for the life of the tie.
Full Colour Range
Eleven solid colours plus bright fluorescent neon shades cover almost any colour-coding scheme or brand requirement. Custom Pantone matching is available for exact shades. You get one supplier for standard, high-visibility and bespoke colours.
Reliable Self-Locking Hold
A one-piece moulded design with an internal pawl grips the strap for a firm, ratchet-tight closure every time. There are no separate parts to loosen. This keeps bundles secure while still being quick and easy to fit.
Flame-Retardant Nylon
Our nylon coloured ties carry a UL94 V-2 flammability rating, supporting electrical, panel and equipment work with fire-safety requirements. Polypropylene is offered where chemical resistance matters more. Documentation is available on request.
Indoor & UV-Stabilised Options
Standard colours are ideal for indoor identification, while UV-stabilised grades resist sunlight for longer outdoor service. This lets you match the tie to the environment. Exact UV performance is confirmed for your application.
Consistent Quality in Bulk
Produced under an ISO 9001 system on high-speed moulding lines, every batch holds the same colour, size and strength. This matters when you re-order a colour months later. You get repeatable results across large volumes.
Applications & Industries
Data Centres & Networking
Colour-code patch leads, power and data by function or rack so technicians trace and service the right cable instantly. Consistent colours keep dense server rooms organised and cut downtime during changes.
Electrical & Panel Building
Mark circuits, phases and voltages by colour for safe, readable wiring in panels and distribution boards. Flame-retardant nylon supports electrical fire-safety specifications on site.
Events, Staging & AV
Neon and fluorescent ties flag temporary power and signal runs so trip hazards are seen and struck quickly after a show. Bright colours also tidy stage and lighting rigs at a glance.
Retail & Product Packaging
Colour-matched ties give a clean, branded finish on packaging, display and point-of-sale bundling. Custom Pantone shades tie the product to a brand identity.
Agriculture & Horticulture
Colour-mark plant rows, irrigation lines and equipment for quick sorting in the field. UV-stabilised grades hold their colour through outdoor and seasonal use.
Warehousing & Logistics
Sort, batch and label goods, trolleys and shipments by colour for fast visual picking and stock control. A simple colour system speeds handling across large facilities.
How to Choose the Right Colored Cable Tie
Four quick checks help you specify the correct coloured tie:
1. Colour & scheme — Pick solid colours for coding, fluorescent neon for high visibility, or a custom Pantone shade to match a brand.
2. Material — PA66 nylon for general use and flame rating; polypropylene where chemical resistance is needed.
3. Size & load — Match the width and length (18 lb / 40 lb / 50 lb) to the weight and diameter of your bundle.
4. Indoor or outdoor — Standard colours for indoor identification; UV-stabilised grades for sunlight and outdoor exposure.
Not sure? Tell us your colour, size and where the ties will be used, and we will recommend the exact specification.

What Are Colored Cable Ties?
Colored cable ties — also called coloured zip ties or colour tie wraps — are self-locking cable ties moulded in a specific colour rather than the usual natural or black. They work exactly like a standard cable tie: a strap threads through a locking head and ratchets tight to bundle cables, wires or hoses together. The difference is purely the colour, which is added to the material so it runs all the way through the tie.
That colour turns an ordinary fixing into an identification tool. By assigning colours to circuits, departments, priorities or brands, you build a simple visual system that anyone can read at a glance — no labels or notes needed. Solid colours suit everyday colour-coding, fluorescent and neon shades add high visibility for safety, and custom Pantone-matched colours let a business brand its bundling. Made from PA66 nylon or polypropylene, coloured cable ties carry the same strength and flammability options as standard ties, so you add colour without giving up performance.

Our coloured cable ties are produced under an ISO 9001 quality system, with nylon grades carrying a UL94 V-2 flammability rating and materials supported by RoHS and REACH documentation. Full certificates are provided for your supplier-approval and import files.
