What moves the price

For braided cord, the drivers are fiber content, diameter, construction, finish, colorfastness, fire rating, weight/oz, stretch percentage — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

Published wholesale pricing for braided cord is most often quoted by roll, meter, or piece, and the biggest cost drivers are fiber content, diameter/yardage, and any custom dye/print or fire-retardant/fusible treatment. Realistic sourcing routes are China-marketplace manufacturers and trade aggregators for lower unit costs, versus US-facing specialty suppliers for faster replenishment but materially higher prices. These bands are anchored to quoted supplier tiers for polyester macrame/braided cord and broader braided-cord marketplace pricing, then normalized to a per-unit basis for a mid-range custom configuration.

Also known as: braid, braided trim, cord braid, piping cord, soutache.
