Many buyers assume that purchasing rope in full rolls is the only way to guarantee quality and price. In reality, buying by the foot can lower total cost and streamline projects. Imagine ordering exactly the metres you need, with CE‑marked, ISO‑9001 documentation, and your brand on every pack. In the sections below, we’ll show how iRopes makes amsteel by the foot, 1.5 inch rope by the foot and cotton rope by the foot simple to spec, customise and ship.
AmSteel by the Foot – High‑Performance Dyneema Rope Overview
When you need a line that feels light in your hands yet can handle the toughest pull, amsteel by the foot is a familiar search term. AmSteel is a well‑known brand of Dyneema rope. For buyers comparing options, iRopes manufactures 12‑strand HMPE (Dyneema SK75) rope with equivalent construction and supplies it by the foot, produced under ISO 9001 with CE documentation available.
So, what is an AmSteel rope? In simple terms, it is a premium Dyneema SK75 fibre assembled into a 12‑strand, torque‑free braid that resists twisting under load. The result is a line that can be up to fifteen times stronger than steel of the same weight, while staying supple enough to feed through winches without jamming.
- Diameter range – 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", and 1"
- Breaking strength – from roughly 1 600 lb (3/16") to 4 600 lb (1")
- Price per foot – typically $0.79 – $1.10, with bulk discounts available
Because the rope’s fibre is so fine, knotting can sap a noticeable amount of its capacity. That’s why many engineers recommend a splice for critical applications. Can I splice AmSteel rope? Absolutely. A Class‑II tuck‑bury splice preserves more than 95 % of the original breaking strength, making it the preferred method for winch lines, marine moorings and any scenario where every pound counts.
“In a marine winch upgrade, replacing 1‑inch steel wire with 1‑inch HMPE dropped deck weight by about 45 % and increased line‑pull capacity by roughly 20 %.”
If your project also involves 1.5 inch rope by the foot or cotton rope by the foot, note that this torque‑free HMPE design helps reduce rotation and re‑tensioning, often outweighing the modest price difference. Whether you’re ordering a single metre for a prototype or a pallet of hundreds of feet for a commercial rig, iRopes ships the exact length you need with CE and ISO 9001 documentation.
1.5 Inch Rope by the Foot – Material Options and Strength
Having seen how an HMPE line can cut weight, you might wonder which material gives the best balance of cost and durability for everyday tasks. The good news is that a 1.5 inch rope by the foot comes in three common fibres, each with its own personality.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what each fibre brings to the table:
- Nylon – high tensile strength, good abrasion resistance, and a slight stretch that cushions shock loads.
- Polypropylene – ultra‑light, floats on water, and resists chemicals, making it popular for marine utility and mooring lines.
- Cotton – natural hand‑feel, biodegradable, and perfect for low‑stress projects such as décor or pet accessories.
When you ask “how strong is a 1.5‑inch rope?”, the answer depends on the fibre. A typical nylon grade will break around 5 000 lb, while polypropylene caps at about 4 200 lb and cotton stays near 1 400 lb. Those figures translate to working‑load limits of roughly one‑fifth of the break strength – a practical rule of thumb for most DIY lifts.
Expect to pay $1 – $2 per foot for nylon or polypropylene, whereas cotton typically runs about $2.99 per foot. Bulk orders often unlock 5 %‑15 % discounts.
Because strength and price vary, you can match the rope to its most sensible use. Nylon excels on winch lines and heavy‑duty towing where maximum pull is essential. Polypropylene’s buoyancy makes it a favourite for marine mooring or any scenario where the line might sit in water. Cotton shines in landscaping, macramé, and pet‑leash applications where a gentle grip and eco‑friendly profile matter most.
Cotton Rope by the Foot – Natural, Eco‑Friendly Choice
After exploring the strength and price of the 1.5 inch rope by the foot, let’s turn our attention to a softer alternative that still delivers reliability. cotton rope by the foot is favoured when you need a gentle grip, a biodegradable material, or a look that blends naturally with décor.
The rope is produced from 100 % organic cotton, left un‑bleached to preserve its natural hue. At roughly 0.55 lb per 100 ft, it feels lightweight yet sturdy enough to handle a breaking strength of around 1 400 lb for a 1‑½‑inch diameter. Applying the usual safety factor of five, the working load limit sits near 280 lb – ample for decorative arches, pet leashes, or temporary livestock halters.
Is cotton rope suitable for outdoor use? Yes, provided you protect it from prolonged UV exposure. A light spray of UV‑resistant finish and storage in shade will extend its life, making it a practical choice for garden parties or weekend camping projects.

Care & Outdoor Tips
Rinse the rope in cool water with a mild detergent, then lay flat to air‑dry. Avoid direct sunlight for more than a few hours; if exposure is unavoidable, treat the surface with a UV‑resistant spray. Store rolls in a cool, dry place to prevent mould and maintain tensile strength.

Customization, Certification, and Ordering – OEM/ODM, CE & ISO 9001 Assurance
Having explored the natural charm of cotton rope by the foot and the rugged strength of 1.5 inch rope by the foot, it’s time to see how iRopes turns a simple roll into a brand‑specific solution. Whether you need a single colour batch for a prototype or a fully branded pallet for a global rollout, the OEM/ODM workflow is designed to keep you in control from the first metre to the last foot.
Our process begins with a colour‑matching session where you select the exact hue, dye finish, or reflective stripe you require. Next, we apply your logo—printed on bags, colour boxes, or durable labels affixed to the rope. Where applicable, tracer yarn or hang‑tags can carry branding and safety information. The finished rolls are then packed in the format you choose: sturdy polyethylene bags, recyclable colour boxes, or bulk cartons ready for palletisation. Throughout development, we safeguard your IP and respect confidentiality agreements.
Colour Matching
Choose from an extensive palette or supply a Pantone reference; we match tightly for consistent colour across batches.
Logo Integration
Print or apply durable labels to carry your trademark; branding withstands marine, industrial and outdoor use.
Packaging Options
Bags for small orders, colour‑coded boxes for retail, or heavy‑duty cartons for bulk pallets—each protects the rope’s integrity.
Worldwide Shipping
Direct pallet delivery to your warehouse, with tracking and customs paperwork handled by our logistics team.
All products are CE‑marked and produced under ISO 9001‑certified quality management, giving you confidence that every foot meets international safety standards.
Pricing is calculated per foot, so you only pay for the exact length you need. Volume tiers start at a 5 % discount for 500 ft and rise to 15 % for orders exceeding 5 000 ft. There is no minimum order quantity—whether you request a single 10‑ft sample or a full‑scale pallet, the quote reflects the true foot‑by‑foot rate.
For projects that require high elasticity, explore the benefits of nylon rope stretch, which can enhance performance under dynamic loads.
