What’s the difference between elastic loops and stretch loops?

Elastic Loops are made from 1/4” wide flat metallic elastic with a pre-tied bow.  Elastic loops stretch up to twice their length for example a 6” loop will stretch up to 12”.

Stretch Loops are made from 1/16^th” round metallic or non-metallic covered stretch cord with a pre-tied bow.  Stretch Loops also stretch up to twice their length for example a 6” loop will stretch up to 12”.
