Whether you're putting away gift bags, organizing pesky cords, or gardening, you can use flexible twist ties. They even come in handy for securing zippers on luggage or as a makeshift shoelace change when traveling.


Twist ties also work well for tying decorations, small gift bags, or sacks to hand out snacks at someone's birthday or other celebration, and since twist ties come in a variety of colors, you can choose one that compliments any color you have been wrapped.

 

What is the meaning of twist tie?

A twist tie is a fastener made of one or more metal wires encased in a thin strip of paper or plastic, in such a way that it can bend and retain its shape. It is used to tie the openings of containers including bags, such as garbage bags or bread bags. It is also called garden twist wire.


A twist tie is used by wrapping it around the item to be fastened, then twisting the ends together. They are often included with boxes of plastic food bags or trash bags, and are commonly available individually in pre-cut lengths, on large spools, or in perforated sheets called gangs.

The outer covering can be in a variety of colors with or without printing. Plain paper, metallic paper, plastic, poly, or custom coatings are popular for different applications.

 

Paper ties

Paper ties are the most common type of twist tie and are perfect for sealing bags or small bundles of items, as long as they stay dry. Metallic ties come in a variety of gorgeous colors and are a popular choice for tying floral arrangements or party bags.

Paper ties vs plastic ties

Paper-coated designs are great for putting away bags or keeping things as pencil bundles organized, but plastic ties are better for outdoor jobs where the tie might come in contact with water. Plastic ties aren't as malleable as metal or paper ties, but their durable shells make them more flexible and reusable, and they're a good choice for tying things that might come in contact with moisture, such as sprinklers. You can also use them to repair chain link fences, loosely wrap around the stems of tall plants you've placed for stability, or guide vines to grow on supports.


The plastic, poly, or metallic paper twist ties withstand water better than the uncoated paper versions. Different sizes and strengths are used for different applications, from a small closure for a bag of bread to a large, heavy tie to hold unwieldy garden hoses in place. A twist tie with a broad paper covering may also be used for labeling.
