24 gauge bright annealed wire is a prime choice for twist ties, providing the ideal combination of flexibility, strength, and a clean, attractive finish. The bright annealed surface ensures a neat appearance, while the annealing process imparts the necessary pliability for easy twisting and tying. Available in both spools and precut lengths, this wire is highly versatile and practical for various uses, including packaging, gardening, and crafting. The USA standard Bright Annealed Wire 24 Gauge is particularly popular for making twist ties.
