A bungee cord is a rope composed of two or more elastic strands coated with a woven fabric. It has hooks that are placed on both ends. A bungee cord is also known as shock cord and elastic cord.

The elastic strands of the bungee cord are made of rubber and the outer woven sheath can be made of  polypropylene, cotton, or nylon.

For bungee cords used for luggage and equipment tie down, it is first cut down into the required length and a J-shaped hook is placed at both the ends to make it secure.
