- Marking and visibility: lines, marker points and eye-catching fastenings.
- Accessories and jewellery: bracelets, key rings and bag decorations.

What to look for when choosing
Choose paracord based on its intended use. Key considerations include thickness and knot behaviour, the construction of the core and sheath, and the finish of the ends. For wearable accessories, flexibility and a neat finish are important; for marking and outdoor use, visibility and colour intensity are key.
Also pay attention to the finish: fused ends or a neat finish make it easier to work with and prevent fraying. Consider how the cord behaves when knotted and whether it is suitable for the type of fastening you wish to create.
Practical benefits of an orange colour
A bright orange colour increases visibility and makes items easier to find. For creative applications, orange offers a strong visual accent that combines well with neutral or contrasting shades.
