Nylon Cable Ties Manufacturer & Bulk Supplier
Nylon cable ties — also known as nylon zip ties or tie wraps — are the most widely used cable fastening solution worldwide. Strong, lightweight, and self-locking, they are ideal for securing and organizing cables, wires, and components across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
At Shangbo Plastics, we manufacture nylon cable ties factory-direct with 20+ years of experience, over 3,000 variants, and a daily output of 50 tons. Made from 100% virgin PA66 nylon (UL 94V-2 certified), our ties offer reliable strength, UV resistance, and long service life. From standard and black UV-resistant ties to heavy-duty and custom OEM solutions, we supply consistent quality for global B2B buyers.
What Are Nylon Cable Ties?
Nylon cable ties are self-locking fasteners made from polyamide nylon polymer — specifically PA66 (Nylon 66) as the industry standard — designed to bundle, secure, and organise cables, wires, pipes, and components. Each tie has a flexible strap with ridged teeth along its inner surface and a locking head containing a ratchet pawl. When the pointed tip is threaded through the head and pulled tight, the ratchet engages the teeth and locks the tie permanently in place — creating a secure bundle that cannot loosen under vibration, thermal cycling, or mechanical stress.
Also known as nylon cable zip ties, nylon zip ties, nylon tie wraps, or simply zip ties, nylon cable ties are the go-to fastening solution across electrical, construction, automotive, manufacturing, agriculture, and consumer applications worldwide. Their combination of low cost, high strength, easy installation — no tools required — and availability in hundreds of size and specification variants makes them the single most versatile cable management product in existence.
Key characteristics of nylon cable ties:
- Material: PA66 nylon (Nylon 66) — the industry standard for strength and temperature performance
- Locking mechanism: Self-locking ratchet — engages on first insertion, holds permanently without slipping
- Tensile strength range: 18 lbs (8 kg) to 250 lbs (120 kg) depending on size and grade
- Operating temperature: -40C to +85C standard / up to +120C for heat-resistant variants
- Flammability: UL 94V-2 standard / UL 94V-0 flame-retardant variants available
- Colors: Natural (white/ivory), black, and full custom color range
- Certifications: BSCI, ISO9001, UL, CE, RoHS, SGS
Why PA66 (Nylon 66) Is the Industry Standard for Cable Ties
When buyers specify nylon cable ties, they are almost always specifying PA66 — Nylon 66 — without necessarily knowing the material designation. PA66 is the polyamide nylon produced by the polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, and it has been the manufacturing standard for cable ties since the product was first commercialised in the 1950s. Here is why it remains the benchmark:
Higher Melting Point Than PA66
PA66 has a melting point of 265C, compared to 220C for PA6 (Nylon 6). This directly translates to a higher safe operating temperature for the finished cable tie — a PA66 nylon cable tie maintains its tensile strength and dimensional stability at temperatures that would cause a PA6 tie to soften and creep. For automotive under-bonnet applications, engine rooms, and industrial high-temperature environments, PA66 is the required specification.
Higher Tensile Strength and Stiffness
PA66 is a stiffer, harder nylon than PA6 — giving finished cable ties a crisper insertion feel, higher declared tensile strength, and better resistance to creep (the slow deformation of a material under sustained load). For heavy duty nylon cable ties rated at 120 lbs to 250 lbs, PA66 is the only material that reliably delivers these tensile values at standard tie dimensions.
Better Moisture Resistance
PA66 absorbs less moisture than PA6 under the same conditions — meaning PA66 nylon cable ties maintain their mechanical properties better in humid or wet environments. Outdoor wiring, marine applications, agricultural installations, and any environment with moisture exposure should always specify PA66 nylon cable ties.
100% Virgin PA66 — Our Standard, Not an Option
At Shangbo Plastics, we use 100% virgin PA66 nylon in every nylon cable tie we produce. We do not use recycled nylon, blended nylon, or PA6 as a cost-cutting substitute. Every incoming batch of raw material is tested before entering our production lines. This is not a marketing claim — it is a quality process requirement that every buyer can verify through our material test documentation, which ships with every bulk order.

Standard Nylon Cable Ties
The foundation of every cable tie product range — our standard nylon cable ties are the most widely specified fastening solution in electrical, construction, automotive, and manufacturing applications worldwide. Made from 100% virgin PA66 nylon, self-locking, burr-free, and available in lengths from 100mm to 900mm, these are the nylon cable ties your customers order by the million.
Standard nylon cable ties cover the 18 lbs to 120 lbs tensile range, are available in natural (white/ivory) and black as standard, and can be produced in any custom color from 5,000 pcs per color. They are the default specification when a buyer says ‘nylon cable ties’ without further qualification — and they are what we are best known for.
- Lock type: Integrated self-locking ratchet pawl — single-piece moulded head
- Insertion force: Tested and documented per batch
- Lock strength: Matches declared tensile strength — no slip below rated load
- Removal: Cut to remove — permanent fastening
- Available in: All standard and heavy duty tensile grades
- Documentation: Lock strength test report available with every bulk order
Self Locking Nylon Cable Ties
Self locking nylon cable ties are the standard design across our entire nylon cable tie range — every tie we produce uses a precision-engineered ratchet lock head that engages permanently on first insertion. We are highlighting this explicitly because ‘self locking nylon cable ties’ is a distinct search term used by procurement teams and engineers who are specifically qualifying that a supplier’s ties use a self-locking mechanism, rather than a reusable or releasable format.
Our self locking nylon cable ties lock on first engagement and hold permanently — no slipping, no re-tightening, no failure under vibration or thermal cycling. Each lock head is injection-moulded as a single piece with the strap, ensuring consistent insertion force and lock engagement across every unit in a bulk order. If you are spec-buying self locking nylon cable ties for an industrial, automotive, or electrical application and need a manufacturer who can document lock-strength performance — that is exactly what we supply.
- Tensile strength: 120 lbs (54 kg) to 250 lbs (120 kg)
- Strap width: 7.6mm to 9.0mm
- Lengths: 370mm to 900mm standard
- Bundle capacity: Up to 240mm diameter
- Colors: Natural and black standard / custom available
- Best for: Industrial wiring, construction, automotive, large conduit runs
- MOQ: 1,000 pcs per size and color
Heavy Duty Nylon Cable Ties
Our heavy duty nylon cable ties are engineered for applications where standard-grade ties simply do not have the tensile strength or bundle diameter capacity required. Rated from 120 lbs (54 kg) to 250 lbs (120 kg) tensile strength, with strap widths from 7.6mm to 9.0mm and lengths up to 900mm, these are the nylon cable ties used in industrial wiring looms, construction site cable management, automotive assembly, and large-diameter conduit bundling.
Every heavy duty nylon cable tie we produce is made from 100% virgin PA66 nylon — the same high-grade material as our standard range, in a larger, thicker strap profile. The wider strap distributes clamping force over a greater surface area, reducing the risk of cable insulation damage on large, heavy bundles. This is not a product you want to source from a factory using recycled or blended nylon — and ours never does.
- Color: Carbon black pigment — UV stabilising, not surface dye
- UV resistance: Significantly better than natural cable ties for outdoor use
- Available in: All standard and heavy duty sizes (100mm to 900mm)
- Tensile strength: Identical to natural equivalent — UV stabiliser does not reduce strength
- Common applications: Solar, telecom, outdoor electrical, construction, agriculture
- MOQ: 1,000 pcs per size
- Note: For extreme UV exposure (3+ year outdoor life required), specify our UV-stabilised variant with higher carbon black loading.
Black Nylon Cable Ties
Black nylon cable ties are not simply natural cable ties dyed black — they are manufactured with carbon black pigment compounded into the PA66 nylon during production. Carbon black acts as a UV stabiliser, absorbing and dissipating UV radiation before it can degrade the nylon polymer chain. This makes black nylon cable ties significantly more resistant to UV-induced brittleness and premature failure than natural (white/ivory) cable ties in outdoor and sun-exposed applications.
If your customers are using nylon cable ties outdoors — solar panel installations, telecommunications infrastructure, outdoor signage, agricultural applications, exterior construction — black nylon cable ties are the correct specification. We produce black nylon cable ties in the full range of standard and heavy duty sizes, with UV-stabilised carbon black compound as standard across all black variants.
- Color: Natural ivory/white — no pigment addition
- Material: 100% virgin PA66 nylon
- Best for: Indoor wiring, IT infrastructure, electrical panels, light industrial
- Not recommended for: Prolonged outdoor UV exposure (use black cable ties instead)
- Available in: Full range 100mm to 900mm, 18 lbs to 250 lbs tensile
- MOQ: 1,000 pcs per size
Natural Cable Ties
Natural cable ties — also called white cable ties or ivory cable ties — are the standard color for indoor electrical, IT, and light industrial cable management applications. Made from 100% virgin PA66 nylon without pigment addition, natural cable ties have a clean white-to-ivory appearance that blends with white cable trays, white conduit, and light-colored interior environments.
Natural nylon cable ties are the highest-volume product in our range and the default specification for general cable management work. They are not UV-stabilised — the absence of carbon black pigment means they will yellow and become brittle with prolonged outdoor UV exposure — which is why we always recommend black nylon cable ties for outdoor applications. For any indoor, protected, or short-term outdoor installation, natural cable ties deliver the same tensile performance as black at the same price point.
- Standard sizes: 100mm / 150mm / 200mm / 250mm / 300mm / 370mm / 430mm / 540mm / 750mm / 900mm
- Custom sizes: 100mm to 1,200mm available on request
- Tensile strengths: 18 lbs to 250 lbs
- Colors: Natural and black standard / full custom range available
- Packaging: Polybag, box, jar, blister card, or bulk carton — all available
- OEM: Custom logo, custom packaging, custom color — from 5,000 pcs per SKU
Nylon Cable Zip Ties — Full Range
Nylon cable zip ties is the most commonly used consumer and trade search term for nylon cable ties — with ‘zip ties’ being the informal name that has become as widely used as the formal product name in most markets. At Shangbo Plastics, our nylon cable zip ties are the same product as our standard nylon cable ties — PA66 nylon, self-locking ratchet head, full range of sizes and tensile strengths — produced to the same specifications and quality standards.
We highlight nylon cable zip ties as a distinct product category heading because buyers searching this term are often in the research and procurement phase and want to confirm they are dealing with a manufacturer who understands the product they are looking for — not just a factory with a keyword in their title. We manufacture nylon cable zip ties in every size from 100mm to 900mm, in natural and black as standard, with custom colors, custom printing, and OEM packaging available.
- UV resistance: 2+ year outdoor life in direct sunlight rated
- Black variant: Carbon black UV stabilisation — standard outdoor grade
- Natural/color variant: UV-absorber compound — where black is not specified
- Available in: All standard and heavy duty sizes
- Best for: Solar, telecom, outdoor electrical, highway signage, agriculture
UV-Resistant Nylon Cable Ties
Our UV-resistant nylon cable ties are formulated with enhanced UV stabiliser loading — either through higher carbon black concentration (black variant) or through UV-absorbing additive compounding in the nylon matrix (available in natural and colored variants for applications where black is not acceptable). They are rated for outdoor use in direct sunlight for 2+ years without significant brittleness or tensile strength loss.
UV-resistant nylon cable ties are the specified product for solar energy installations, outdoor telecommunications infrastructure, highway and road signage, marine environments (above waterline), and agricultural applications. If your customers are using cable ties in any outdoor application and experiencing premature failure — UV degradation is almost always the cause, and specifying UV-resistant ties is the solution.
- Release mechanism: Integrated release tab — tool-free release
- Reuse cycles: 10 to 30 re-application cycles rated
- Material: 100% virgin PA66 nylon
- Available in: Standard and heavy duty tensile grades
- Colors: Natural and black standard
- Best for: IT maintenance cable runs, temporary bundling, prototyping.
Reusable / Releasable Nylon Cable Ties
Reusable nylon cable ties — also called releasable cable ties — feature a modified locking head with a release tab that allows the ratchet pawl to be disengaged without cutting the tie. The strap can be loosened, the cable re-routed, and the tie re-applied — making them ideal for temporary bundling, IT infrastructure maintenance, prototyping, and any application where future cable access is anticipated.
Our reusable nylon cable ties are made from the same 100% virgin PA66 nylon as our standard range, with a reinforced release mechanism. They are rated for 10 to 30 release and re-application cycles before the release mechanism begins to fatigue — sufficient for maintenance-cycle applications but not for daily open-and-close use (for that, we recommend our hook and loop or silicone cable ties).
Size Guide — Nylon Cable Ties
We supply nylon cable ties in a full range of standard sizes. All sizes are available in natural (white) and black. Custom lengths and widths are available on request. Use this guide to match tie size to your bundle diameter and tensile requirement:

900mm (36″) | 9.0mm | 250 lbs / 113 kg | Up to 240mm | Extra heavy-duty outdoor | Heavy Duty | 1,000 |
Custom (up to 1,200mm) | Any | As specified | Any | OEM, special applications | Any grade | 5,000 |
Tip for buyers: Your nylon cable tie length should be approximately 2.5x to 3x the maximum bundle diameter for a secure, properly tensioned lock. Too short and the tie will not reach; too long creates excess tail that must be trimmed. Use the bundle diameter column above to select the right length before checking tensile strength.
Key Features — What Makes Our Nylon Cable Ties Different
There are thousands of nylon cable tie factories in China. Here is what distinguishes Shangbo Plastics products from the commodity market — and why buyers who have had quality problems with other suppliers stay with us:

Applications — Who Uses Nylon Cable Ties and How
Nylon cable ties are the most universally specified cable fastening product across every major industry. Here is how our different buyer types use the products they source from us:
Electrical & Construction
Electricians, electrical contractors, and construction cable management teams use nylon cable ties as their standard fastening solution for cable trays, conduit runs, panel wiring, junction box cable management, and on-site temporary and permanent bundling. Standard 100mm to 300mm natural and black cable ties account for the majority of volume in this sector. For outdoor and weatherproof installations, black UV-stabilised nylon cable ties are the specified product. Our 1,000 pcs MOQ and 7 to 10 day lead time makes us a practical supplier for distributors supplying the electrical trade.
Automotive & EV Manufacturing
Automotive OEM manufacturers, tier-1 wiring harness suppliers, and automotive aftermarket installers use nylon cable ties — specifically self locking nylon cable ties made from PA66 nylon — to secure wiring harnesses, brake lines, fuel lines, and electronic cabling throughout vehicle assemblies. The PA66 specification is non-negotiable in automotive use: it is required by OEM vehicle manufacturer standards for its temperature performance, dimensional stability, and resistance to automotive fluids. Our automotive-grade nylon cable ties carry the documentation required for tier-1 and OEM supplier qualification.
IT & Data Centres
IT infrastructure teams, data centre build contractors, and structured cabling installers use nylon cable ties for server rack cable management, patch panel organisation, horizontal cable runs, and vertical cable bundling. Flame-retardant UL 94V-0 nylon cable ties are the specified product for data centre environments under most fire safety codes. Natural cable ties are the preferred colour for IT applications where a clean appearance matters. We supply IT channel distributors in volume with standard and flame-retardant nylon cable ties in the sizes most common to structured cabling work.
Industrial Manufacturing & OEM
Production line manufacturers, industrial equipment OEMs, and machine builders use heavy duty nylon cable ties to secure cables, hoses, and pneumatic tubing on equipment that will vibrate, flex, and operate in temperature-variable environments for years between maintenance cycles. These buyers are the most specification-focused — they need PA66 certification, tensile test documentation, and consistent batch quality because a cable tie failure on operating machinery can cause downtime that costs many times the value of the product. We support industrial OEM buyers with full material and test documentation on every order.
Agriculture & Outdoor Infrastructure
Agricultural operations, outdoor infrastructure projects, and utility companies use black UV-stabilised nylon cable ties for irrigation system management, shade netting, outdoor equipment cabling, and highway signage cable management. The UV resistance of black nylon cable ties is the critical specification for these buyers — standard natural ties will yellow and fail within months outdoors. We supply agricultural distributors and infrastructure contractors with black nylon cable ties in high volumes, with UV resistance documentation available.
Consumer Electronics & Retail
Consumer electronics manufacturers, retail hardware chains, and home improvement distributors use standard nylon cable ties and elastic ties as both a product category and a packaging component. Small 100mm to 150mm natural cable ties in retail polybag packs of 50 to 200 pcs are a high-velocity SKU in the hardware retail channel. We supply private label and OEM retail packs with custom logos and packaging from 10,000 pcs per SKU — the same nylon cable ties sold in the world’s largest hardware chains, made in our factory.
How to Choose the Right Nylon Cable Ties — Buyer Guide
With over 3,000 product variants in our nylon cable tie range, the right tie for your application comes down to five key selection criteria. Here is how we help our buyers get the specification right the first time:
1. Indoor or Outdoor? This Determines Your Color
This is the first question we ask every new buyer. For indoor use — electrical panels, IT racks, manufacturing equipment, general cable management in sheltered environments — natural (white/ivory) nylon cable ties are the standard specification and the lowest cost option. For any outdoor installation with UV exposure — solar panels, telecommunications masts, construction sites, highway signage, agricultural applications — specify black nylon cable ties. The carbon black UV stabiliser in black ties extends outdoor service life from a few months (natural ties) to 2+ years. This single specification choice prevents the most common nylon cable tie failure mode we see reported by buyers.
2. What Tensile Strength Do You Need?
Match the tensile rating to your bundling load and safety factor requirement. As a practical guide: 18 to 50 lbs (8 to 22 kg) rated ties for light-duty home, office, and IT cable management; 50 to 120 lbs (22 to 54 kg) for standard industrial and automotive applications; 120 to 250 lbs (54 to 120 kg) for heavy duty industrial wiring looms, construction, and large-diameter conduit bundling. If you are unsure, specify the next tensile grade up — over-spec on tensile strength costs a fraction of a penny per tie and eliminates the risk of field failure.
3. What Bundle Diameter Are You Working With?
Use our size guide table above to match tie length to bundle diameter. The rule of thumb is tie length should be 2.5x to 3x the maximum bundle diameter. A 200mm tie handles bundles up to 50mm diameter; a 300mm tie handles up to 80mm; a 540mm tie handles up to 145mm. Ordering ties that are too short for the bundle is the most common purchasing mistake — the tie physically cannot reach the lock head and is wasted. Always measure your largest bundle diameter before ordering.
4. Is Flame Retardancy a Specification Requirement?
Electrical installations in commercial buildings, data centres, public infrastructure, and automotive cabins are often required by local fire codes or project specifications to use flame-retardant cable management products. For these applications, specify our UL 94V-0 rated nylon cable ties. If the project specification just says ‘UL rated’ without specifying V-0, our standard UL 94V-2 ties usually meet the requirement — but confirm with your project engineer. We provide full UL94 compliance documentation with every order.
5. Do You Need Custom Color, Size, or Packaging?
If you are sourcing nylon cable ties for resale under your own brand, or for an OEM application with specific color coding, length, or packaging requirements, our custom production service handles all of this. Custom colors from 5,000 pcs per color. Custom lengths from 100mm to 1,200mm. Custom packaging (polybag, retail box, blister card) with your logo and design from 10,000 pcs per SKU. Send us your requirements and we will come back with a production proposal, sample, and price within 24 hours.
Still not sure which nylon cable tie is right for your application? Contact our technical team with your bundle diameter, environment, tensile requirement, and application — we will specify the exact product and send free samples within 1 to 3 working days.

Why Choose Shangbo Plastics as Your Nylon Cable Ties Manufacturer
20+ Years — Your Nylon Cable Ties Manufacturer Since 2004
We started manufacturing nylon cable ties in 2004 and have not stopped. In that time we have shipped to buyers in 50+ countries, survived multiple economic cycles, survived the global supply chain disruptions of 2020 to 2022, and continued growing because our buyers keep coming back. When you are evaluating nylon cable tie suppliers, track record matters. Ours is 20 years long and verifiable — we will connect you with reference buyers in your market if that helps your evaluation.
100% Virgin PA66 — The Specification That Cannot Be Compromised
We have never used recycled nylon, blended nylon, or PA6 in our nylon cable ties. We never will. Every buyer who has had quality problems with a previous supplier — brittle ties, inconsistent tensile, ties yellowing prematurely — has almost always traced the problem to a factory that was using inferior or mixed raw material. Our material specification is fixed, tested on every incoming batch, and documented. This is the single most important quality commitment we make.
3,000+ Product Variants — One Supplier for Your Entire Cable Tie Range
From 100mm standard natural nylon cable ties to 900mm heavy duty black ties, flame retardant variants, UV-stabilised outdoor ties, releasable ties, self locking ties in 10+ colors, and custom OEM sizes — we produce the complete range. This matters because consolidating your cable tie supply to one manufacturer simplifies your procurement, reduces your documentation burden, and gives you leverage on pricing at combined volumes. We are the one factory that can serve your entire nylon cable tie product range.
7-Step Quality Control — Documented, Not Just Claimed
We have described our 7-step quality control process in the key features section above. What we want to add here is that this process is documented — every batch produces a set of test records that we retain and can provide on request. If a quality dispute arises, we can trace every shipment back to specific production batch records and raw material certificates. This traceability is what serious B2B buyers require from a manufacturer — and it is what we provide as standard.
Dedicated Export Support — We Make Importing from China Simple
Our international sales and logistics team has handled export documentation, customs paperwork, letter of credit processing, and shipping coordination for buyers in 50+ countries across four continents. We know what documentation your country’s customs authority requires, what shipping routes give you the best balance of cost and transit time, and what payment terms work for buyers at different order stages. If you have never imported from China before, we will walk you through every step. If you have been importing for 20 years, we will slot in seamlessly.
2-Year Warranty — The Industry’s Longest Guarantee
All nylon cable ties from Shangbo Plastics come with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. The standard in China’s cable tie industry is 12 months — or no stated warranty at all. We offer 24 months because our product quality justifies it. If a nylon cable tie from Shangbo Plastics fails within 2 years of purchase due to a manufacturing defect in material or workmanship, we replace or refund. Full stop.

Frequently Asked Questions — Nylon Cable Ties
What is the difference between nylon cable ties and plastic cable ties?
They are the same product described differently. All standard cable ties are made from nylon plastic — specifically PA66 nylon (Nylon 66) or, in lower-quality products, PA6 nylon. ‘Plastic cable ties’ is a general term that includes nylon ties as well as less common materials like polypropylene. When a buyer specifies ‘nylon cable ties’, they are confirming the polyamide nylon material — which is the industry standard specification for strength, temperature performance, and chemical resistance.
What is the minimum order quantity for nylon cable ties?
Our standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces per size and color for nylon cable ties. Custom color orders start from 5,000 pieces per color. OEM and private label orders from 10,000 pieces per SKU. Sample orders have no minimum — we ship free samples by DHL or FedEx express within 1 to 3 working days of your request.
Are your nylon cable ties self locking?
Yes. Every nylon cable tie we produce — standard, heavy duty, UV-resistant, and flame retardant — uses an integrated self-locking ratchet mechanism. The ratchet engages on first insertion and locks permanently — it will not slip or loosen under vibration, thermal cycling, or sustained load below the rated tensile strength. The only way to remove a standard nylon cable tie is to cut it. If you need a tie that can be removed and re-applied, we also produce releasable nylon cable ties with a release tab mechanism.
What tensile strength do I need for my application?
For light-duty home, office, and IT cable management — 18 to 50 lbs (8 to 22 kg) rated ties are sufficient. For standard industrial, construction, and automotive applications — 50 to 120 lbs (22 to 54 kg). For heavy duty industrial wiring looms, large conduit bundles, and structural fastening — 120 to 250 lbs (54 to 120 kg). If you are unsure, specify the next tensile grade up from your estimate — it costs very little and eliminates field failure risk. Our technical team can also specify the right grade if you send us your bundle diameter and application details.
Do you supply nylon cable ties with flame retardant certification?
Yes. We supply flame retardant nylon cable ties rated to UL 94V-0 — the highest UL94 flammability rating, requiring self-extinction within 10 seconds of flame removal. These are required for data centre, server room, commercial building, and automotive cabin applications under most fire safety codes. UL94 V-0 compliance certificate ships with every flame retardant order. Standard nylon cable ties are rated UL 94V-2.
Can I get custom colored nylon cable ties?
Yes. Custom colors are available from 5,000 pieces per color run. Submit your Pantone or RAL color reference and we will produce a color swatch for your approval before bulk production. Standard colors — red, blue, green, yellow, orange, grey, and white — are available from our standard 1,000 pcs MOQ on a scheduled production basis. All custom color production uses the same 100% virgin PA66 nylon as our standard range — no color-mixing shortcuts that compromise tensile strength.
How do I select the right size nylon cable tie?
First measure the maximum diameter of your cable bundle. Your nylon cable tie length should be 2.5x to 3x the bundle diameter — for example, a 50mm bundle needs a 150mm to 200mm tie. Then confirm the tie width and tensile rating is appropriate for your load requirement. Use our size guide table on this page to match bundle diameter to standard tie sizes. If your bundle diameter falls between standard sizes, order the next size up.
