01
Woven
Needle looms build a stable tape with firm selvedges, and jacquard heads let us weave logos and patterns into the body.
Typical output
- Waistband elastic
- Webbings
- Twill and HBT tapes
- Jacquard branding

Construction
Four machine platforms under one roof
Most narrow fabric suppliers run one or two. Having all four in the same plant means we pick the construction that suits your product instead of the one our machines force on it.
02
Knitted
Warp and circular knitting give a softer, more open structure with high elongation and a gentle next-to-skin feel.
Typical output
- Lingerie elastic
- Plush and picot tapes
- Soft waistbands
- Medical elastic
03
Crochet
Crochet machines produce light, breathable elastics with minimal pressure on the skin.
Typical output
- Fine lingerie tapes
- Babywear elastic
- Light waistbands
04
Braided
Braiding compacts yarns around a core, holding a round or flat profile through repeated tension cycles.
Typical output
- Elastic cord
- Shock cord
- Drawcords
- Mask elastic
Materials
Yarn and elastomer systems we run in production
Material choice sets cost, hand-feel, and compliance. These are the systems we buy, test, and run daily, including GRS certified recycled polyester for brands with recycled content targets.
Polyester
Our default workhorse: stable, colour-fast, and economical at volume.
Nylon
Chosen when abrasion resistance and tensile strength lead the spec.
Cotton
Natural handle and matte look for visible trims and soft tapes.
Polypropylene
Light and moisture-resistant for high-volume webbing programs.
Spandex
Elastomeric core that sets the stretch and recovery curve.
Natural Rubber
High-power recovery for heavy waistbands and furniture elastics.
Latex Free
Spandex-based alternative for skin-sensitive and medical use.
Recycled Polyester
GRS certified rPET for brands with recycled content targets.
Functional Finishes
Performance added at finishing or built into the weave
Seventeen finishes that turn a standard tape into a technical component. Several can be combined on the same product, for example a fire-retardant webbing with reflective yarn and a water repellent finish.
Silicone Printed
Dot or line grip zones printed onto the tape face.
Silicone Coated
Continuous coating for full-surface hold.
Anti-Slip Silicone
Higher-friction formulation for hems and cuffs.
Fire Retardant (FR)
Inherent or treated flame performance.
Water Repellent
Hydrophobic finish that beads surface water.
Water Resistant
Reduced absorption for damp environments.
Reflective
Retro-reflective yarn or film for low light.
Glow in the Dark
Photoluminescent, charges in ambient light.
UV Resistant
Retains strength and colour under sun exposure.
Anti-static
Dissipates static charge build-up.
Conductive
Conductive paths for signal and grounding.
Heat Resistant
Holds structure at elevated temperatures.
Chemical Resistant
Withstands specified chemical contact.
Antimicrobial
Inhibits odour and microbial growth.
Printed
Artwork, sizing, and care data printed to spec.
Jacquard Logo
Branding woven into the tape, not applied on it.
Soft Finish
Softener chemistry tuned for skin contact.
