CableTiesMFG is the public brand of Zhejiang Runbo Plastic Co., Ltd. Anhui Runbo Plastic Co., Ltd. is the manufacturing factory for the documented cable-tie scope. Product, factory and certificate applicability is confirmed per SKU and order.
Terminology
In many markets, cable tie, zip tie, tie wrap and wire tie are used interchangeably. A purchasing brief should go beyond the name and identify the actual construction and application.
What can differ
Two products described with the same everyday term may differ in material, color, length, width, head design, release function, mounting feature, packaging or test scope. Confirm the drawing and sample for the proposed model.
Choose by the assembly
Describe the bundle, support, installation access, environment, service interval and consequence of failure. Then select the family and request the model-level evidence needed for approval.
Avoid name-based substitutions
A marketplace listing or old part name should not silently substitute a different construction. Carry the approved model, drawing revision and packaging reference into repeat orders.
Request a quote
Send the application, dimensions, environment, quantity, packaging and required documents so the supplier can return a traceable proposal.
