How describe those cable ties for tidying cable?
 

I am looking to buy what I might call "cable ties" or even "cable
tidies".

I do not mean the usual self-locking nylon strip that is called a
cable tie.

And I do not mean the "re-usable" or "releasable" or "trigger
release" versions of the above.

The type I am thinking of is a sort of "cable tidy" which you
might get on the mains lead of a new TV. It tends to be wider
than the nylon ties, perhaps made of high-density polythene rather
than nylon, and had more exaggerated ridges than the last picture.

Does anyone know what the correct term is for that and where I can
get them in the UK?

They are sold in garden shops as plant ties - various sizes for e.g.
fruit trees etc. Usually dark green or black only

Have you considered the velcro type used in the computing industry?

Or the wire-in-plastic freezer-bag ties that are often used to keep cables
coiled up in the boxes of computer and hi-fi equipment.

Try the 99p shop, if you have one near.
My local has nice bundles of all pretty colours.
I would not recommend the use of the metal cored, freezer bag tie, as this
will leave a sharp metal end, to either stab you with, or scratch the
motherboard causing a short.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who answered. Most helpful and I have got some
new ideas on what I might use. Cheers!
