Product Details

MH knitted elastic webbing tape is a stretch webbing knitted from polyester yarn wrapped around a rubber/latex elastic core, produced across a wide span of widths with customizable weight.

The knitted construction gives the tape a soft, lightweight hand that can be cut and sewn without weakening the elastic threads, and it stretches under tension before returning to its original length without deformation.

The tape keeps its elasticity after repeated washing and drying, making it suitable for waistbands, cuffs and swimwear trims in apparel, medical straps and mask ear loops, and resistance bands for sports and fitness use.

Key Selling Points

• Sew-safe knitted construction: MH knitted elastic webbing is built from polyester yarn around a rubber/latex core, so seams can be stitched through without weakening the elastic.

• Reliable stretch and recovery: The tape extends under tension and returns to its original length without deformation, keeping its shape after repeated wear.

• Wash-durable elasticity: Elastic performance is retained after washing and drying, supporting long-service apparel and medical products.

• Soft, easy-to-handle feel: A lightweight knitted structure keeps the tape supple and simple to cut and sew on standard production lines.

• Broad width and weight range: MH knits the tape across a wide span of widths with adjustable weight to match different garment, medical and sports uses.

MH knitted elastic tape is made with polyester yarn and latex elastic threads for garment and sewing production. Its soft knitted structure provides flexible stretch and comfortable recovery for waistbands, cuffs, underwear, sportswear, children’s clothing and other sewn applications.

Different widths, weights, colors, stripe designs, stretch levels and packing lengths can be produced according to the buyer’s sample or specification. Narrow elastic is suitable for lightweight garment openings, while wider knitted elastic can be used for waistbands, sportswear and support products.

Width Options

Knitted elastic tape is available in standard and custom widths for different garment constructions. Width selection should be based on the sewing position, fabric weight, required holding strength and whether the elastic will be enclosed or exposed.

20mm–25mm Knitted Elastic

Yes. The weight, yarn density and elastic thread content can be adjusted to provide different levels of softness, thickness, stretch and holding strength.
