Twist ties, which are thin, bendable ties for closing containers, such as bags, bundle items, or identifying objects. A twist tie is comprised of one or more metal wires encased in a covering material, which allows the tie to retain its shape and bind against itself. The metal wire in a twist tie is typically stainless or galvanized steel.
An all-plastic twist tie (without metal wire) would be of the same measurements as a twist tie containing one or more metal wires.
The covering material of a twist tie may be paper (metallic or plain), plastic, or polyethylene, and can be dyed in a variety of colors with or without printing. A twist tie may have the same covering material on both sides or one side of paper and one side of plastic. When comprised of two sides of paper, the paper material is bound together with an adhesive or plastic. A twist tie also may have a tag or label attached to it or a pre-applied adhesive attached to it.
Combining function and creativity, this new bag closure brings unique possibilities to your packaging.
The scope includes ties used for television cable, computer cords, other appliances and household ties, all of which are manufactured by Petitioner. Twist ties without metal wire also are covered in the scope. An all-plastic tie contains a plastic core as well as a plastic covering (the wing) over the core, just like paper and/or plastic in a metal tie. The scope does not include products with wire and plastic material (e.g., pipe cleaners used in craft activities, wire bristle brushes), or plastic “zip” ties.
Not only have our twist ties withstood the test of time, they're easy to use and cost effective.
The customizable prints and shapes of the clips, tags, and flags give brands a unique way to communicate with consumers time and time again!
Available in a range of sizes and colors, you'll never go back to one-time-use zip ties and cable ties again.
