Find the Perfect Fastener: Explore Our Wide Range of Cable Ties

We understand that not all jobs are the same. That's why we offer a huge variety of cable ties, meticulously designed to perform in different applications, from simple home DIY to the most demanding environments found in professional industries.

Our Most Popular Cable Ties: Premium Nylon 66
Our core line of nylon cable ties sets the industry standard. Manufactured from high-quality, durable nylon, these are the most popular cable ties for a reason. They offer a fantastic combination of flexibility and high tensile strength, making them the perfect choice for organising everything from office computer wires to complex electrical harnesses. Once the end is pulled tight through the head, the fastener provides a secure, reliable hold. These cable ties are a simple, effective, and smart solution for countless everyday tasks.

Strength and Durability for Demanding Applications

For projects that face the elements or extreme conditions, you need a fastener that won’t fail. We stock a range of heavy-duty and specialist ties built to last.

Stainless Steel Cable Ties: When plastic won't do, our stainless steel cable ties deliver uncompromising performance. These robust metal ties are ideal for challenging situations where strength and durability are critical. They offer superior resistance to heat, chemicals, and weathering, making them perfectly suitable for outdoor, offshore, or hazardous environments. With exceptional strength, our stainless steel ties ensure your cables and components remain secure even under extreme conditions.

Weather & UV Resistant Ties for Outdoor Use: Standard nylon can become brittle when exposed to the sun over time. Our ties designed for outdoor use are specifically manufactured with UV-inhibiting materials, ensuring they won't degrade or lose strength, making them the preferred choice for any external job.

Specialised Solutions for Every Project

Beyond our popular ranges, we provide a variety of specialist cable ties/ zip ties featuring unique designs and materials to suit any requirement.

Reusable & Releasable Cable Ties: Save time and reduce waste with our fantastic range of reusable cable ties. Unlike single-use ties, these can be easily opened and reused multiple times, making them perfect for projects where you may need to add or remove wires. These releasable cable ties are a cost-effective and flexible option, allowing you to unfasten and adjust bundles without having to cut the tie.

Organisation with Different Colours: Bring clarity to your cable management with our extensive cable tie colours. Using various colours is a simple and effective method for colour coding wires and cables. This is crucial in professional settings like network installations, automotive wiring, and stage production, helping you identify specific lines quickly and safely. We stock a variety of colours from standard black and natural/ off white to vibrant yellow, blue, green, and more.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Fastening Solutions: We are committed to helping our customers reduce their environmental impact. For environmentally conscious projects, we offer a range of sustainable cable ties. These eco-friendly options include tie wraps manufactured using recycled materials to help minimise waste. Choosing a sustainable fastener is a smart way to meet both your project goals and your green objectives.

How to Choose the Right Cable Tie

Selecting the right product is important for ensuring a secure and lasting job. Consider the following:

Size and Strength: Review the available lengths and widths for the type of tie you need. The tensile strength, commonly measured in kilograms, indicates the maximum weight the tie can hold. For heavy bundles, a tie with a significant load capacity is essential.

Materials and Environment: Consider where the tie will be used. Is it for an indoor or outdoor project? Will it be exposed to chemicals or high temperatures? This will help you decide between our standard nylon ties or more durable materials like stainless steel.
