Elastic Tape 15mm White

Elastic Tape 15mm White

This white elastic tape has a tight, ribbed structure you'll notice straight away from the fine lengthwise ridges running across the full width. In the photo you can see how smoothly the band bends and folds without losing its shape, a sign of sturdy elastic fibres. The white colour keeps this elastic unobtrusive under light fabrics and makes it easy to match with white or light-coloured haberdashery work.

What is this material

Elastic Tape 15mm White is made from a mix of polyester and elastane, where the polyester fibres provide strength and wear resistance while the elastane gives it stretch. This combination creates a band that holds its shape after thousands of stretches and doesn't lose its snap quickly. The ribbed weave structure adds extra grip against fabric and skin, so the band stays put in a casing or waistband tunnel. It's a sturdy, flat-woven elastic, not a round cord, which makes it straightforward to sew with a straight or zigzag stitch. This 15mm width is a common size for clothing and accessories where you need both comfort and security.
