Bias Binding Tapes
Bias binding tape is a versatile decorative and functional trim that adds refined finishing touches to garment edges while providing structural support. Sewn along necklines, armholes, hemlines, and seam edges, it delivers a polished aesthetic that elevates design while preventing fabric fraying and maintaining edge stability. Available in woven construction with excellent drape and flexibility, bias binding tape follows curved edges seamlessly thanks to its diagonal grain orientation. Our tapes come in solid colors and custom color-matching options to complement or contrast with garment fabrics. From classic nylon/elastane blends to specialized skin-friendly formulations, we offer both stock and custom solutions tailored to your design vision and production requirements.

Top Questions About Our Bias Binding Tape
Frequently asked questions about our products and services.
At ECI, we offer binding tapes in continuous form by the yard. However, we understand that maintaining curve-hugging flexibility is essential for details like necklines, armholes, and other shaped seams. Bias binding tape, with its 45-degree orientation, naturally stretches and conforms to curves without puckering, which is why it's often used in these areas. While our tapes are woven straight, we help customers achieve similar smooth results by selecting the right materials, finishes, and softness to suit curved applications. We also support product development by providing sample yardage for trial sewing and fit testing before mass production. Once everything is dialed in and approved, full-scale manufacturing can proceed with confidence.
Material composition directly influences performance and feel. Nylon/elastane blends offer excellent stretch recovery and a smooth, sleek hand-feel ideal for athletic and intimate apparel. Polyester/spandex combinations provide durability with moderate stretch and a slightly firmer hand. Satin finishes create luxurious drape with soft, fluid feel, while matte finishes offer subtle appearance with excellent stability. Higher elastane content provides greater stretch and softer drape; lower percentages maintain structure and edge definition.
Width selection depends on garment type and desired visual impact:
● 3/8 inch (9.5mm): Delicate lingerie, lightweight blouses, subtle edge finishing
● 1/2 inch (12mm): Most versatile width for standard necklines, armholes, and hems across lingerie, activewear, and casual apparel
● 5/8 inch (15mm): Medium-weight garments, visible decorative binding, applications requiring more support
● 3/4–1 inch (19–25mm): Outerwear, heavy-duty applications, bold contrast effects
Lighter fabrics pair best with narrower widths; heavier materials benefit from wider tapes for visual balance and structural integrity.
Yes, we offer comprehensive color customization. Our Pantone color matching service ensures precise coordination with your fabric for seamless integration. Alternatively, contrasting colors create intentional visual pop—black binding on white garments, bright accents on neutral bases, or tonal variations for subtle dimension. We develop custom color combinations aligned with seasonal trends, brand palettes, or specific design concepts for both invisible finishes and bold statements.
Our binding tapes are engineered for durability through:
● Colorfast dyeing: Heat-set dyes prevent fading, bleeding, or color transfer
● Premium elastane: Maintains recovery through hundreds of wash cycles
● Stabilized weave: Prevents edge fraying and maintains structural integrity
● Pre-shrunk finishing: Eliminates post-wash puckering
When properly attached and cared for, our tapes retain original appearance, stretch, and color vibrancy throughout the garment's lifecycle.
Yes, we offer specialized formulations for sensitive skin:
● OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified: Free from harmful chemicals and irritating substances
● Hypoallergenic nylon/elastane blends: Minimize allergic reactions for intimate apparel
● Natural fiber alternatives: Spun-polyester or bamboo-blend options with controlled stretch
● Latex-free construction: No natural rubber latex, eliminating common allergens
● Smooth-finish options: Ultra-soft hand-feel reduces friction during extended wear
These options are ideal for lingerie, activewear, children's clothing, and medical garments. Our team can recommend the best formulation based on your application and target market needs.
