PP, POY, and Polyester are the three materials used by Mukti Djaya Talikur in cord production. Although all three are used to make cords, each material has different cord construction options and product specifications.
Therefore, choosing cord should involve more than just considering the material. You should also consider the cord construction, available colors, and product applications to make sure they meet your requirements.

1. PP Cord: A Wider Range of Color Options
PP material is used to produce Needle-Knitted PP Cord, available in 46 color options and sizes ranging from 2–6 mm. Its applications include paper bag cords, ID card lanyards, handicraft cords, birthday hat cords, and picture frame hanging cords.
The wide range of colors makes it easier to match the cord with your product design. However, make sure the required color and size are available for your order specifications.
2. POY Cord: A More Cost-Effective Option Available in White
POY material is used to produce Needle-Knitted POY Cord, available in white only and sizes ranging from 2–6 mm. Applications listed in the Mukti Djaya Talikur catalog include birthday hat cords, basketball net ring cords, helmet cover cords, and car and motorcycle cover cords.
Needle-Knitted POY Cord can be a more cost-effective alternative to PP Cord for certain production requirements. In addition to considering cost efficiency, make sure the material characteristics and cord specifications are suitable for your intended finished product.
3. Polyester Cord: Used for Braided Construction
Polyester material is used to produce Braided Cord, available in Non-Filled and Filled types. According to the Mukti Djaya Talikur website catalog, the Non-Filled type is available in black and white. Its applications include hoodie drawstrings, trouser waist cords, bag drawstrings, and pouch drawstrings.
Meanwhile, the Fabric-Filled or Fabric and Needle-Knitted Cord-Filled type is used for women’s handbag handle fillers and is available in white.
The Polyester sizes listed on the website are 4–12 mm. Since color and size options depend on the product type, make sure to confirm availability before placing an order.
4. How to Choose the Right Cord Material
To choose a cord material that meets your production requirements, consider the following:
- Determine the finished product application and the intended function of the cord.
- Check the materials and cord constructions suitable for that application in the product catalog.
- Match the cord size and available color options to your product design requirements.
- If the cord’s physical characteristics affect the design or intended use, inspect a sample before making your final selection.
Each material offers different specifications and applications. Therefore, no single material is always better for every requirement. The right choice depends on the cord’s function and the product specifications you need.
Conclusion
The differences between PP, POY, and Polyester Cord are not limited to their materials. They also include cord construction, available colors, sizes, and applications.
