Webbing For Automotive Interiors
Interior trim, pull and retention tape woven to a fixed width and a fixed shade, run after run.
What Goes Wrong In This Trade
- Trim tape that shifts shade against an interior colour standard
- Width variation that shows against a moulded channel
- Suppliers who cannot repeat a specification two years later
- Tape that yellows where it sits in direct sun through glass
What The Specification Has To Deliver
- Repeatable width and thickness against a drawing
- Colour matched to an interior standard and held over repeat orders
- Light stability for parts that sit behind glass
- A specification kept on file for the life of the programme
Ranges That Suit Automotive Interiors
Polyester Webbing
Dimensionally stable polyester tape for straps that must hold their shape, their colour and their rated load outdoors.
Jacquard Webbing
Your logo woven into the strap itself on computer jacquard looms, so the branding cannot peel, crack or wash off.
Elastic Webbing
Woven elastic tape that recovers to its original length, specified by stretch percentage rather than by feel.
Polypropylene Webbing
The lightest webbing in common use, dope dyed for colour that cannot wash out and priced for high volume assembly.
Typical Applications
- Interior grab handles and door pulls
- Seat back retention straps and map pockets
- Boot and cargo area securing loops
- Trim and edge tape on soft interior parts
- Branded pulls woven with a model or marque name

Questions Automotive Interiors Buyers Ask
Can you hold a colour standard across a multi-year programme
We archive the dye reference and the approved woven sample against your programme reference and match new production back to it rather than to a fresh interpretation of the Pantone.
Will the tape yellow behind glass
Polyester is the right choice there. Its light resistance is second only to acrylic among common fibres, with strength loss of around 60 per cent after 600 hours of sun exposure, similar to cotton.
Do you supply to a drawing rather than to a catalogue size
Yes. Almost everything we weave is made to a customer width and thickness rather than pulled from stock.
