Flat Bungee Cords (Flat Sandow): Spreading the Pressure Without Marking
Flat bungee cord, or flat Sandow, is easy to spot thanks to its rectangular cross-section. Unlike a round cord or a rigid strap, it spreads pressure more evenly across the surface it's holding: less risk of slipping, but also less risk of marking, digging into or damaging whatever's attached.
When should you choose it?
Whenever you need to press down, hold or protect a delicate, painted or varnished surface, where a round cord would leave a mark. Our black flat Sandow, with a UV-resistant polypropylene cover, comes on a 100 m reel.
Other profiles
For a round cord, see our elastic cords and Sandow cords; for maximum stretch, our high-elasticity cord.
Frequently asked questions

Safety and Adaptability: Flat Bungee Cords Revolutionise Fastening
Elastic cords, often called ‘bungee cords’, come in several forms, including flat versions. Here are some advantages and benefits of flat bungee cords:
- Versatility: Flat bungee cords can be used in a variety of applications, including tying down, securing, stretching, or hanging objects. They are often used in camping, moving, gardening, and other outdoor activities.
- Elasticity and Strength: The elastic property of bungee cords allows them to adapt to different sizes and shapes of objects, providing a secure fastening.
- Less potential damage: Unlike traditional ropes or rigid straps, flat bungee cords tend to distribute pressure more evenly across the surface of the object. This reduces the risk of marking, digging in or damaging the items being tied down.
- Ease of use: They are generally easy to attach and detach, making them quick and simple to use.
- Compact storage: Due to their elasticity, bungee cords can be compacted or rolled up for easy storage, taking up less space than other fastening methods.
- Durability: Good quality bungee cords are made from durable, UV-resistant materials, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use.
- Safety: Flat bungee cords can often grip larger surfaces better than round bungee cords, reducing the risk of slippage.
- Hooks and accessories: Many hooks and other fastening devices are available as options, increasing ease and variety of use.
- Cost: Compared to other fastening solutions, bungee cords are often economical, especially considering their versatility.
