Elastic Tape and Waistband Manufacturer

Define the band, ribbon or strap precisely

DALI's elastic and trim product line includes elastic bands and branded waistband developments. The range also includes plain ribbons, underwear lace trims and bra shoulder straps. Specify stretch requirements, garment position, width, edge finish and material for each component. A narrow bra strap and an exposed underwear waistband need different references and attachment discussions. An existing trim sample or drawing provides the reference for component development.

• Separate elastic bands from non-elastic ribbons.
• Identify width, construction and face/back requirements.
• Describe the attachment and intended garment position.

Review artwork and extension together

For branded products, send artwork you have permission to use, a logo repeat and a controlled color reference. Discuss how the design can be formed on the proposed tape rather than assuming a printed appearance or a particular woven method from a photograph. Review width, edge feel, extension and recovery, with artwork checked in relaxed and extended conditions where relevant. Repeats at a waistband join and differences in cut length between garment sizes can affect the visible logo. Keep branding approval, trim evaluation and garment-fit approval as separate decisions.

• Use authorized artwork and identify repeat length.
• Agree relaxed and extended measurement methods.
• Review joins and cut lengths on the intended garment sample.

Connect trim quantities to garment production

Order quantities may be expressed as meters, rolls or prepared cut lengths; agree the unit and delivery format before quoting. Show quantities per width, color and design. Identify whether the trim will be supplied to another factory or attached within a DALI garment program, and agree roll labels, lot identification and packing. Minimum quantities, development costs and timing depend on the proposed material, design and order structure. Sampling supports bulk trim projects, with construction and performance requirements evaluated against the agreed component reference.

• List quantity per width, color and artwork.
• Agree roll or cut-length supply and identification.
• Confirm hardware, attachments and buyer documentation where relevant.
