5cm Wide Computerized Jacquard Elastic Tape

Key Features & Benefits

Customizable Brand Identity

• Supports custom patterns, brand logos, and text
• Ideal for waistbands, belts, sportswear, and lingerie where brand visibility matters
• Single-sided or double-sided jacquard available

5cm Width — The Perfect Balance

• Provides optimal pressure distribution
• Offers firm support without compromising comfort
• Wide enough for statement belts, yet flexible enough for garment waistbands

Superior Durability & Elastic Recovery

• Made from high-tenacity polyester and premium rubber/spandex core yarns
• Maintains excellent elastic recovery after repeated stretching and washing
• Resists sagging, waving, and deformation over time

Premium Texture & Visual Appeal

• Jacquard weaving creates three-dimensional textures with a sophisticated matte finish
• Multi-color yarns available for rich, layered patterns
• Elevates the perceived quality of finished garments

Fade-Resistant & Colorfast

• Patterns are woven-in, not surface-printed
• Excellent resistance to fading, peeling, and cracking
• Stable color performance under dry and wet conditions

Technical Specifications

Structural Composition

Layer 1 — Face Yarns (Polyester)

• Responsible for pattern presentation and surface texture
• High abrasion resistance and wrinkle recovery
• Stable color performance under light and heat

Layer 2 — Elastic Core (Rubber/Spandex Covered Yarn)

• Provides the stretch and recovery power
• Covered yarn technology ensures elastic core is fully encapsulated
• Prevents direct friction and extends service life

Layer 3 — Nylon Component (for high-elasticity versions)

• Enhances softness and skin-friendliness
• Ideal for intimate apparel and next-to-skin applications

How Jacquard Differs from Printing

Unlike surface printing or embroidery, jacquard weaving integrates patterns directly into the tape structure by controlling each warp yarn individually via computer programming. This means:

• Patterns are permanent — they cannot peel, crack, or wash off
• Stretching does not distort the design
• Multiple colors (4 or more) can be used simultaneously

Quality Control Standards

Dimensional Precision

• Width tolerance: ±0.5mm
• Thickness tolerance: ±0.1mm
• Ensures consistent sewing without frequent machine adjustments

Visual Inspection Criteria

• No streaks, transverse lines, or hidden marks on the surface
• No broken warp, broken weft, loose threads, or exposed yarn ends
• Tape stays straight without curvature or wavy edges (no “lettuce leaf” effect)
• Neat selvages without jagged edges
• No curling on tape surface or edges

Performance Testing

• Elastic recovery rate: ≥95% after repeated stretching cycles
• Wash resistance: maintains width and elasticity after multiple wash cycles
• Minimal shrinkage rate

Why Choose Us

Direct Factory — No Middleman

We are an experienced elastic tape manufacturer with decades of expertise (10+ years in the weaving industry). Our facility is equipped with multiple computerized jacquard weaving machines, allowing us to control quality from raw material to finished product while offering competitive factory-direct pricing.

Stringent Quality Control

We address the industry’s most common pain points — waving after washing, uneven elasticity, and shrinkage. Our production process strictly controls warp tension uniformity and reed threading methods to ensure each roll is straight, balanced, and durable.

Professional R&D Team

Our in-house design and engineering team can respond quickly to complex pattern requests and special elasticity requirements. We offer full technical support from prototyping to bulk production.

Light & Heat Resistance

Using high-grade polyester fibers with stable dyeing processes, our elastic tapes resist fading under sunlight and maintain integrity under heat exposure — suitable for garments that undergo industrial washing or ironing.

Eco-Friendly Options

We offer environmentally friendly materials and can certify products under Oeko-Tex Standard 100, ensuring they are free from harmful substances and safe for sensitive skin and children’s apparel.

FAQ

Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom designs?

A: MOQ varies by pattern complexity and color count. Please contact our sales team with your design requirements, and we will provide a tailored production plan. For stock patterns, smaller quantities are available.

Q2: What file format do I need to provide for custom patterns or logos?

A: Vector formats such as AI or CDR are preferred. We also accept high-resolution JPG/PNG files. Our technical team will convert your design into a weaving program and provide a sample for your approval before mass production.

Q3: Can the elasticity level be customized?

A: Yes. We offer light-stretch (for decorative belts), medium-stretch (for dress waistbands), and high-stretch (for sportswear and yoga pants) options. The elasticity is adjusted by varying the rubber/spandex core yarn specifications and density. Please specify your application, and we will recommend the optimal stretch level.

Q4: How do I choose between 1.0mm and 2.2mm thickness?

A:

• 1.0-1.2mm (Thin) : Soft hand-feel, easy sewing — ideal for lingerie, lightweight fabrics, and children’s wear.
• 2.0-2.2mm (Thick) : Firm support, structured feel — ideal for denim waistbands, workwear belts, and bags.

Q5: How do you prevent waving (“lettuce leaf” effect) after washing?

A: Waving is typically caused by uneven tension during weaving or mismatched shrinkage rates between the elastic tape and fabric. Our production strictly controls beam tension uniformity and reed threading to minimize this risk. We always recommend pre-production sample testing to ensure compatibility with your fabric.

Q6: Is the product safe for skin contact?

A: Yes. Our standard products are safe for direct skin contact. Upon request, we can provide Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification to guarantee the product is free from harmful substances, suitable for baby wear and sensitive-skin applications.

Q7: What is the lead time for custom orders?

A: Typically, sampling takes 7-10 days, and bulk production takes 15-25 days depending on order quantity. Expedited options are available for urgent orders — please inquire with our team.

Q8: Do you offer free samples?

A: We offer free samples for our stock patterns (shipping cost may apply). For custom-designed samples, a nominal sampling fee is charged, which is refundable upon order confirmation.

Q9: What is the packing method?

A: Standard packing is 50 yards per roll, with rolls individually wrapped in poly bags and packed in cartons. Custom packing and labeling (including your brand label on rolls) are available upon request.

Q10: Can you match Pantone colors?

A: Yes. We can match any Pantone color and provide lab dips for your approval before bulk dyeing to ensure accurate color reproduction.
