Laces are present in many aspects of our lives. We prepare to go to the gym and our trainers have laces that we have to tie to go comfortable. In the sports pants, there will surely be another drawstring to fit the waist and the sweatshirt may also have a drawstring to be able to wrap the hood, even as a simple ornament.
If we get in the car, surely we will have in the trunk a tool box with at least one octopus to hold cargo. These octopuses are made with a high quality elastic cord. Perhaps even, the upholstery of our vehicle is finished off at its edges with a cotton cord that gives it greater resistance.
But who makes all these cords that we hardly even notice but are so essential in our lives? Well, there are specialized companies like Liasa that work on creating high-quality cords and ribbons that are used for multiple uses.
This type of company also manufactures ribbons that are used as ornaments for clothes and can be found in ready-made garments or also buy from the subway if you are one of those few people who still enjoy sewing their own garments. And they also provide high quality products that maintain their colors and shapes for a long time.
Most of these laces are made of cotton or polyester. The elastics have an outer mesh of these materials combined with elastane and an elastic rubber interior that is what allows them to stretch so much. Good quality ones stretch and regain their shape many times while maintaining a flawless appearance. There is what sets them apart from poor quality elastic cords that deform quickly and are no longer useful.
The cotton and polyester used in the creation of the cord are also responsible for its resistance, both for the weight it can bear and for its resistance to rubbing, and both aspects are important depending on the use to be made of the cord.
In any haberdashery you will find ribbons and cords of different thicknesses, sizes and materials for a thousand and one uses. From the thickest, which are used for example to hold home curtains to the finest that are used to tie hair and create all kinds of decorations for girls.
