Abstract
A cable tie is formed as a blank having an end extent with first teeth disposed between perforations and a body extent having second teeth extending with the first teeth from a common blank surface. The body extent is drawn through one of the perforations to form a box-like head. The body extent is then arranged about cables to be bundled and is drawn through the head whereupon the first and second teeth interlock to retain the bundled cables.
