Wholesale Twine & Rope

Twine is generally smaller and suited to parcels, tags and light bundles. Rope is heavier, but diameter alone does not establish strength. Cotton, sisal, polypropylene, nylon and other fibers differ in grip, stretch, moisture absorption, weathering and handling.

Select from the required knot, environment and actual load. A material that handles comfortably indoors may not be the best choice for wet or abrasive service. Use parcel handles only with compatible tied packages and within the handle’s specified application.

Knots reduce the strength available from cordage and behave differently by material and construction. Test the intended knot and prevent the line from running across sharp carton edges or hardware that can cut or abrade it.

General packaging twine and rope should not be used for climbing, fall protection, personnel support, hoisting or overhead lifting. Those applications require equipment specifically rated, inspected and managed for the load and governing requirements.
