What is sealing wire used for?

Sealing wire is used for security sealing, tamper-evidence, and identification in various industries including logistics, transportation, banking, and utilities. Common applications include sealing cargo containers, rail cars, truck trailers, airline food trays, electrical meters, fuel tanker hatches, and bank cash bags. The wire is threaded through the hasp of a seal or lock and secured to prevent unauthorized access.

What is the difference between SS304 and SS316 sealing wire?

SS304 (stainless steel 304) is the standard grade used for most sealing wire applications. It offers good corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and is cost-effective.

SS316 (stainless steel 316) contains molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh chemical environments. SS316 is recommended for marine environments, coastal applications, chemical plants, and food processing where higher corrosion resistance is required.

Both can be manufactured in various diameters and strand configurations. Your choice depends on the operating environment and budget.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for sealing wire?

Our standard MOQ for sealing wire is 1,000 kilograms per specification. However, we understand that new customers may want to test our products first. For sample orders, we can accommodate smaller quantities — typically one spool (100 kg) or less depending on the specification.

Please contact us with your requirements, and we will do our best to work with you.

Can I get custom diameters and strand counts?

Yes, we offer full customization of wire diameter and strand count. Common diameters range from 0.15 mm to 1.0 mm, and strand configurations from 1 strand (single wire) up to 7 strands or more. We can manufacture to your exact specifications.

Please provide your desired diameter, strand count, material grade, and any other requirements when requesting a quote.

What coatings are available for sealing wire?

We offer several coating options for sealing wire:

  • Galvanized — Zinc coating for basic corrosion protection
  • Polymer coating — PVC or polypropylene in various colors for added protection and identification
  • Nylon coating — Enhanced durability and abrasion resistance
  • Copper coating — For conductivity and specific application requirements

Custom colors and coating thicknesses are available upon request.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping times depend on order size and destination:

  • Production time: 7–15 working days after order confirmation
  • Sea freight: 15–35 days to most international ports
  • Express shipping (DHL, FedEx, UPS): 5–10 working days for samples and small quantities

We will provide estimated delivery times when you request a quote.

Do you offer samples before placing a bulk order?

Yes, we offer samples for most of our sealing wire products. Sample quantity is typically 1–5 kg or a short length of wire for evaluation. Samples are available at a nominal cost plus shipping.

For established customers or serious inquiries, we may provide samples free of charge. Contact us with your requirements, and we will arrange sample delivery.
