Description
This Picture Framing Cord is an Australian-made, 8-plait construction, low-stretch, braided polyester cord. It is a very lightweight, high-strength rope particularly suited for picture framers to use in picture framing and with picture frames, with an approximate breaking point of 200 kg.
It is spun from 100% polyester yarns which produce a tough, durable, yet highly flexible cord which ties, twirls, twists, staples and parts off well. So far as picture hanging purposes are concerned, this polyester picture framing cord is better than nylon cord.
The former is more resistant to heat than the latter which does not endure heat as well, degrades at high temperatures and has relatively lower sunlight resistance. Polyester also has a higher melting apex point, which is not disadvantageous. Again, the former is just about as tough as nylon when dry.
Polyester also maintains its strength even when wet. Contrary to popular belief, cord is more popular with picture framers than a metal wire because it is generally cheaper, stronger, more pliable, rust-proof and does not oxidize with the passing of time.

I’ve been buying this cord from here for a few months now. Not only it’s a good, clean cord with which hang my coastal photography framing business but it’s also quite a bit cheaper than anywhere else. I tested it once with my body weight, nearly a hundred kilos, and it held me no problem.
