The 32-spindle filled polyester tress drawcord with metal tips was developed for brands looking for a drawcord with character, combining a distinct braided surface texture with a metal tip finish. In a tress braid, yarn bundles cross over one another in diagonal directions, giving the cord a texture you can feel by hand, while the polyester filling inside forms a round, balanced body beneath that texture. We plan the braid density, tip tone and colors specifically for your brand.
Request a quoteDistinct tress texture
The diagonally crossing tress braid creates a deeper, more rhythmic pattern than smooth-surface cords; because light breaks across the surface at different angles, even a single-color cord looks lively and full of movement.
A sleek finish with metal tips
The smooth metal tip at the end of the textured body creates a material contrast that turns the drawcord into a small accessory detail, raising the product’s perceived quality around the hood and collar.
Polyester durability
Polyester yarn keeps its dimensional stability against moisture and washing, keeps colors vivid and dries quickly, making it a practical raw material for frequently washed sportswear and casualwear.
Custom brand colors
The tress texture looks clean in a single color and produces spiral and broken-stripe effects when braided with two or more colored yarns; we define the color combination on a sample according to your collection palette.
A tress braid gives the drawcord character, and the metal tip adds a crisp, elegant signature at the end of that character.
The Texture of Tress Braid, the Precision of a Metal Tip
In the world of drawcords, tress is a structure known for a surface with distinct braid lines. On a 32-spindle braiding machine, yarn bundles rotate in two opposite directions and pass over and under one another; this movement leaves a regular diagonal pattern on the outer surface of the cord. The tighter the braid is set, the more closed and smooth the surface; the more open it is set, the more pronounced the texture. At Elif Tekstil Aksesuarları, we adjust braid density to the style of your product, recommending a more pronounced tress surface for sporty models and a more closed one for urban, minimalist models.
The filling is like a skeleton that carries the look of the tress braid. When polyester filler yarns fill the center of the cord, the braid is pushed outward, the pattern lines sharpen and the body keeps the same diameter along its length. Unfilled braids, by contrast, tend to flatten and their texture gets crushed. Choosing polyester gives this structure both lightness and shape retention through washes; the cord does not swell excessively when wet and quickly returns to its original handle once dry. This balance means a drawcord that keeps looking neat for a long time on hoodies, tracksuits and lightweight outerwear.
The metal tip is the detail that completes the tress drawcord’s story. When a textured body meets a smooth metal surface, the eye is naturally drawn to the tip, so tip length, diameter and surface tone should be chosen carefully. Pressed with a mold matched to the cord diameter, the tip neatly closes off the braid pattern at the cut point and prevents fraying. When choosing between silver-tone, dark or warm metallic finishes, we recommend considering the color of the cord together with the product’s other metal accessories, such as zippers, snaps and buttons.

Where is it used?
Key applications for 32-Spindle Filled Polyester Braided Drawcord with Metal Tips.
Hoodies
The tress texture does not fade into the background next to heavy knit fabrics, and the metal tip adds a small, eye-catching gleam to the clean surface of the hoodie at the hood opening.
Urban outerwear
On lightweight parkas, windbreakers and trench coats, it gives you a refined, balanced drawcord finish at the hood and hem drawstring that complements the technical look of the fabric.
Premium tracksuit sets
On velour or scuba tracksuit sets, combining a textured drawcord with a metal tip transforms the product from sportswear into a stylish everyday outfit piece.
Bags and accessories
On drawstring bags, cosmetic pouches and gift bags, the tress drawcord is easy to grip, and the metal tip helps the cord pass smoothly through eyelets and casings.
Home and loungewear
On pajama bottoms and loungewear sets, a soft polyester tress drawcord offers a comfortable touch, while the metal tip adds value by giving simple products a boutique feel.

Multicolor tress drawcords braided in seasonal colors become a recognizable signature detail across the collection when paired with the same metal tip, so your products complement one another on the shelf.
Ways to Customize Your Tress Drawcord
The effect of a tress drawcord changes directly with braid density, color distribution and tip choice. By combining the options below to suit your product’s style, you can design a drawcord unique to your brand and see the result on a sample.
About custom manufacturing- 01
Braid density
A tight braid gives a more closed, smooth and modern surface; an open braid makes the tress texture more pronounced, reinforcing a sporty, handcrafted feel. The choice is made according to the texture of your fabric.
- 02
Single color and multicolor
A single-color tress offers elegant simplicity. Two-color braids create spirals, while three or more colors produce dotted or broken-stripe patterns; this is a way to carry your brand colors into the drawcord.
- 03
Metal tip tone
We recommend choosing from glossy silver-tone, dark gunmetal or warm metallic tips the one that matches the other metal parts on your product, such as zippers, snaps and buttons.
- 04
Tip length
Short tips give a clean, minimal finish, while long tips bring the metal detail to the fore. We determine tip length together with the hood eyelet and casing width.
- 05
Diameter and filling ratio
By changing the amount of filling, a softer or firmer body can be achieved within the same 32-spindle braid, letting you fine-tune how the drawcord feels in the hand for your product group.
Tress Drawcord vs. Other Braid Structures
A drawcord’s surface structure defines the overall character of the product. To make the right choice easier, we compare the textured tress filled drawcord with a smooth-surface filled drawcord and a flat drawcord across key criteria.
| Criterion | Tress drawcord with metal tips | Smooth-surface filled drawcord | Flat drawcord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface appearance | Distinct diagonal texture | Clean, smooth | Flat and wide |
| Cross-section | Round, full | Round | Flat |
| Multicolor effect | Spiral and patterned | Limited | Striped or jacquard |
| Tip compatibility | Strong contrast with metal tip | Works with any tip type | Tip suited to flat shape |
| Typical use | Hoods, premium tracksuits | Hoods, waistbands | Waist ties, printed drawcords |
| Visual impact | Detailed, full of character | Standard, understated | Depends on logo |
From request to delivery, step by step
We stay in touch with you at every stage and never move on to the next step without your approval.

Sample approval
Our sample department prepares a sample drawcord with the selected filling and tip. Once you try the cord on your product and approve the visibility of the texture, the tip size and how it passes through the casing, the bulk production recipe is finalized.
- 4
Braiding and tip crimping
The tress body is braided together with the filling on 32-spindle machines; the cords are then cut to the specified length and metal tips are press-crimped on. Pattern continuity and tip tightness are checked on the line.
- 5
Inspection and delivery
In the final inspection, color, diameter, tip surface and length are compared with the sample. Approved drawcords are prepared in the packing layout you request and shipped on a schedule planned around your production calendar.
Care and Inspection Tips for Tress Drawcords
- Washing the product inside out in a laundry bag reduces the metal tip knocking against the drum.
- Avoid ironing the polyester tress drawcord at high heat; it may become shiny and the texture may get crushed.
- Drying flat instead of in a tumble dryer keeps the braid texture vivid for longer.
- On receipt, place a few drawcords side by side with the sample and compare the pattern density.
- There should be no fibers sticking out where the metal tip meets the braid, and the tip surface should look scratch-free.
- On multicolor tress cords, check that color transitions repeat regularly along the length of the cord.
32-Spindle Filled Polyester Braided Drawcord with Metal Tips: your questions answered
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Our team is happy to help.
What is a tress drawcord, and how does it differ from a smooth drawcord?
Tress is a structure with distinct braid lines on its surface, formed by yarn bundles passing over and under one another in diagonal directions. On smooth-surface drawcords, these lines are more closed and less noticeable, while on a tress drawcord the texture can be both seen and felt. As a result, even a single-color drawcord takes on a richer, more detailed look.
What does the polyester filling in the drawcord do?
The filling fills the center of the cord, pushing the braid outward and stabilizing the round cross-section. This sharpens the tress pattern, keeps the drawcord from flattening during use and lets it pass easily through the hood casing. Since polyester filling is lightweight, it does not weigh the drawcord down; because it holds little moisture and dries quickly after washing, it also retains its shape for a long time.
Can the metal tip come off the drawcord?
A metal tip pressed with the right mold and at a pressure suited to the cord diameter grips both the braid and the filling and does not come off in normal use. During production, tip tightness is tested with pull tests on samples taken from each lot. Since choosing a tip of the wrong size for the cord diameter can lead to loosening, we finalize the tip size together with you at the sample stage.
Can you braid the tress drawcord in our own brand colors?
Yes. By matching polyester yarns to your reference colors, we can produce single-color or multicolor tress drawcords. In multicolor braids, the placement of each color creates different pattern effects, such as spiral, dotted or broken-stripe. Color matching and pattern placement are transferred to bulk production after being finalized with sample approval.
Can a logo be applied to the metal tip?
Applying a logo or lettering to a metal tip depends on the tip’s material, size and surface plating. For suitable tip types, we can consider laser engraving. Since legibility may be limited on a small tip surface, we recommend simple marks such as a short brand name or symbol; the result is reviewed and approved on a sample.
Which products is this drawcord suitable for?
The 32-spindle filled polyester tress drawcord is especially popular for hoodies, premium tracksuit sets, lightweight outerwear and loungewear. Its textured look also makes a difference on drawstring bags and gift pouches. If you share your product’s fabric and casing size, we finalize the diameter and tip choice together according to the end use.
How are price and lead time determined?
Price varies with the number of colors, braid density, cord length, tip type and total quantity. Lead time is also planned per project, depending on yarn supply, sample approval and production workload. For this reason, rather than a fixed price list, we prepare a quote tailored to your request; once you share the details, we provide you with a clear roadmap.
