plastic ties

Disposable bundling straps

Plastic ties are narrow strips of flexible plastic with a ratcheting mechanism that allows them to be tightened around objects but not loosened, making them useful for bundling cables, securing bags, or temporarily fastening items together.

Also called zip ties or cable ties, they come in various lengths and colors.

I used plastic ties to organize the cords behind my desk.

Law enforcement sometimes uses heavy-duty plastic ties as disposable restraints.
