Abstract

Flexible extruded piping for use between adjacent panels of luggage or the like. Shoulders extending outwardly from the sides of the tubular portion are of a different color than that of the exposed tubular portion to provide a color trim. The shoulders stabilize the piping to prevent twisting of the piping around corners, thereby maintaining the neat appearance of the trim. The different colored parts of the piping are formed by coextruding different colored plastic material.
