Learn More About Apparel Elastic Tapes

Apparel trims do double duty: they provide structural reinforcement and act as key design elements that define a garment's look. From piping that outlines a silhouette to exposed waistbands that serve as a branding platform, every ECI tape is crafted for wash-durability, consistent recovery, and visual impact.

• We utilize sustainable synthetic blended materials suitable for narrow fabric weaving to reduce the risk of shrinkage or deformation.
• Testing in our in-house certified lab ensures high resistance to abrasion, perspiration, and repeated laundering.

Partnering with Designers to Co-Create What's Next

Fashion trends move fast, and your supply chain needs to keep up. At ECI, we collaborate directly with apparel designers to co-develop trims that elevate ready-to-wear, sportswear, and athleisure collections. We support:

• Brand-focused designs with custom jacquard logo waistbands and chestbands.
• Active-wear solutions featuring breathable, moisture-management elastics.
• Eco-friendly collections requiring sustainable materials to meet consumer demand.

Whether you are designing a technical performance jacket or a casual lounge set, we customize each tape's texture, width, and tension to match the fabric weight and garment function.
