Request a quoteWarm brass tone
The warm, gold-like color of brass offers a natural metallic sheen without the need for plating; combined with a red or white body, it gives the drawcord a classic, reassuring presence.
Red and white
A red body creates an energetic, eye-catching effect, while a white body feels clean and fresh. Both colors form a balanced contrast with the brass tip and fit easily into a collection.
Rust-free metal
Because brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, it does not rust like iron; although a slight dulling may form on its surface over time, this natural patina is seen as a characterful look on classic products.
Polyester that holds its shape
The polyester body keeps its dimensional stability through washing, dries quickly and maintains its vibrant color; it is a practical raw material for keeping saturated shades such as red vivid for a long time.
A brass tip on a red or white body is the simplest expression of a classic combination that never goes out of style, whatever fashion does.
A Timeless, Classic Finish with a Brass Tip
Some trims inspire the same confidence for years, untouched by fashion cycles; the brass-tipped drawcord is one of them. Seated on the end of the drawcord, the brass cord end fully encloses the tip with its capped shape and gives the drawcord a crisp, neat finish. The warm, gold-like tone of brass carries an elegance that does not shout for attention but still makes itself known. That is why it supports brand identity in a simple yet powerful way on nautical-themed products, collegiate and classic sports collections and even smart casual wear. The weight of the tip also helps the drawcord hang neatly, giving the product a tidy look.
Red and white are among the body colors that pair best with brass. A red body further enriches the warm tone of brass; used with navy, gray melange or cream fabrics, it adds an energetic, nostalgic accent to the product. A white body combines with brass to create a clean, fresh look with nautical associations; it looks particularly elegant on navy, khaki and pastel products. Both options preserve the simplicity of classic combinations while fitting easily into your collection’s color palette. If you need a red or off-white close to your brand’s corporate shade, we carry out color matching on a sample.
For a brass tip to keep its classic effect, the transition between the body and the tip must be flawless. The polyester body gives a clean edge at the cutting point and seats neatly inside the tip during crimping. When the tip is crimped with a die suited to the drawcord diameter, no fibers stick out from the body and the end does not loosen over time. At Elif Tekstil Aksesuarları, we monitor this detail through regular checks throughout production and take care that there are no scratches or shade differences on the surface of the brass tips. This way, the drawcord keeps its original classic look for a long time and quietly reflects the quality of your product.

Protective packaging
To keep the brass tips from rubbing against each other and getting scratched, and to keep white bodies clean, the drawcords are packed in suitable packaging, labeled and shipped according to your production plan.
Caring for Brass-Tipped Drawcords
- Natural dulling on the brass tip is not a defect; on classic products it is considered a characterful patina.
- Protect white-bodied drawcords from dust and direct sunlight during production and storage.
- We recommend washing products with red drawcords separately from light-colored garments for the first few washes.
- Chlorine bleach can darken the brass surface; state on the care label that bleach should not be used.
- Separating the drawcords without rubbing the tips against each other when unpacking prevents surface scratches.
- On delivery, compare tip shades by placing a few samples side by side in daylight.
Polyester Drawcord with Brass Cord End Caps: your questions answered
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Our team is happy to help.
What is a brass cord end tip?
A brass cord end tip is a brass metal finishing piece that is crimped onto the end of the drawcord and fully encloses the tip. It prevents fraying, lets the drawcord pass easily through channels and gives the product a classic, warm gold-toned detail. Because brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, it does not rust like iron-based ends and offers a natural metallic look without plating.
What color options are available?
The standard body colors for this drawcord are red and white. A red body gives a warm, energetic look, while a white body gives a clean look with nautical associations; both form a classic harmony with the brass tip. If you need a red or off-white specific to your brand’s corporate shade, we can carry out color matching with sample approval.
Does the brass tip darken over time?
As brass comes into contact with air and moisture, a slight dulling, in other words a natural patina, may form on its surface. This is not rust and does not damage the structure of the metal. On classic and vintage-style products, this patina is often seen as a detail that adds value to the product. If keeping a polished look for a long time is important, we can evaluate alternatives for the tip finish together.
Which products are brass-tipped drawcords used on?
Nautical-themed collections, collegiate and varsity-inspired sweatshirts, smart casual wear, canvas bags and gift packaging are the most common areas of use for this drawcord. Thanks to its classic look, it is also used with confidence in long-running product lines independent of seasonal trends. If you share your product, we will determine the body color and tip size together.
Does the red drawcord bleed color in the wash?
When produced with the right dye and dyeing method, the polyester body retains its color well through washing. Still, with saturated red shades, we recommend not washing the product together with light-colored garments, especially for the first few washes. If you share your colorfastness expectations and your product’s care instructions, we can evaluate the drawcord against these conditions at the sampling stage.
What is the difference between a brass tip and a gold cord end?
A brass tip has a warm, natural gold tone that comes from the material itself, and it may acquire a slight patina over time. A gold cord end, on the other hand, is made by coating a metal surface with gold-toned plating and offers a brighter, showier look. Brass can be chosen for a classic, timeless effect, and gold for a luxurious, shiny accent.
What information should I share to place an order?
To prepare a quote, simply share your preferred body color, drawcord length, approximate diameter, the product it will be used on and the estimated scope of the order. Sending your tech pack and fabric sample, if you have them, also speeds up color and size matching. Price and delivery plan are finalized per project based on this information and sample approval.
