Coated Iron Wire Sticks for Artificial Christmas Decorations
RUNYI CRAFTS manufactures coated iron wire sticks for artificial Christmas decorations — the pre-cut support wire used inside PE pine needle branches, red berry stems, wreath frames and garlands.
Product Overview
RUNYI CRAFTS manufactures coated iron wire sticks for artificial Christmas decorations — the pre-cut support wire used inside PE pine needle branches, red berry stems, wreath frames and garlands.
For Christmas decoration manufacturers, the right wire specification directly affects branch stiffness, stem straightness, stability during packing, and the finished product’s appearance. Wire that is too thin can bend during packing, while wire that is too thick can be difficult to wrap, cut, or bundle. Wire diameter, coating type, and cut length should therefore be selected to suit the specific product and its intended use.
Product Type
Straight coated iron wire sticks, green coated wire sticks and decoration support wire.
Main Use
Stem support, branch shaping, PE pine needle support, berry branch support, wreath and garland assembly.

Main Applications and Recommended Wire Strength
Different decoration products need different wire stiffness. Use the table below as a practical starting point before requesting a quotation.
| Application | Common Wire Range | Selection Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Light decorative stems | 0.7-1.1 mm / 22-19 | Suitable for light stems that need straight support and easy bending by hand. |
| PE pine needles and small Christmas picks | 0.9-1.3 mm / 20-18 | Good for smaller decorative parts where the wire must hold shape without looking too thick. |
| Red berry branches and artificial Christmas branches | 1.0-1.5 mm / 19-17 | Recommended when several small branches are wrapped together and need stronger stem support. |
| Wreaths, garlands and branch frames | 1.2-2.2 mm / 18-14 | Used when the decoration must hold a larger shape or support more decorative weight. |
| Large seasonal display branches | 2.3-2.8 mm / 13-12 | Best for stronger frame structures and larger holiday display pieces. |
What Buyers Should Confirm Before Ordering
To avoid mismatch between the wire and your finished decoration, confirm the following points before bulk production:
- Wire diameter: Decide whether the stem needs light, medium or heavy support.
- Cut length: Match the wire length to berry branch, pine needle, decorative stem or branch structure.
- Surface: Choose green coated, PVC coated or paper wrapped according to wrapping and appearance needs.
- Color shade: Match the wire color with PE needles, leaves, wrapping tape or branch covering.
- Straightness: Straight wire sticks help improve factory assembly speed and finished product consistency.
- Packing: Confirm bundle quantity, carton weight and pallet packing for warehouse handling.
- Production season: For Christmas orders, confirm quantity early to avoid peak-season material delays.
- Sample test: Test the wire in your wrapping, cutting, binding or assembly process before mass order.

Gauge reference: Gauge sizes in this table follow the SWG (Standard Wire Gauge / Imperial Wire Gauge) system. Under AWG, 22 gauge equals 0.64 mm rather than 0.71 mm — please confirm which system your drawing uses before ordering.
Supply range: 0.7 mm (22 SWG) is the lightest wire we supply. Finer floristry gauges below 22 SWG (24-32 SWG) are not available.
Coated Wire Model Range
For quotation and production, buyers can also request coated wire by model range. Color and diameter can be customized according to production requirements.
| Product | Model Range | Wire Gauge | Diameter Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coated Wire | 0.7 | 22 | 0.7 mm |
| Coated Wire | 0.8 | 21 | 0.8 mm |
| Coated Wire | 0.9 | 20 | 0.9 mm |
| Coated Wire | 1.0-1.5 | 19-17 | 1.0-1.5 mm |
| Coated Wire | 1.6-2.8 | 16-12 | 1.6-2.8 mm |
Surface Options: PVC Coated, Green Coated or Paper Wrapped
The surface finish should match how the wire will be used in your product. For example, visible Christmas branches usually need a green surface that blends with leaves or pine needles, while wrapped stems may need a surface that works well with tape, paper or other wrapping materials.
| Surface Type | Best Used For | Buyer Note |
|---|---|---|
| Green coated wire | Berry branches, PE pine needles and Christmas decoration stems | Good visual match for green leaves and holiday branches. |
| PVC coated wire | Decoration parts that need smoother handling and stronger surface coverage | Recommended when the wire may be visible or needs better surface protection. |
| Paper wrapped wire | Wrapped stems, artificial plant production and wrapped branch structures | Useful when the next process requires wrapping, taping or gluing. |
