Elastic Webbing Tape No 7
Woven elastic tape that recovers to its original length, specified by stretch percentage rather than by feel.
What This Item Is
Elastic Webbing Tape No 7 is a made-to-order item: you give us the width, the thickness and the colour reference. The usable thickness range is 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm and custom thicknesses are quoted case by case. Colour is matched to a Pantone number or to a swatch you post to us, and one dye lot is reserved for the whole order. Samples take 3 to 7 days and production 7 to 15 days once the sample is approved.
Key Benefits
- Pantone colour matching against a number or against a swatch you send us
- One dye lot reserved for the whole order so shade does not drift mid-run
- Computer jacquard logo weaving available on the same tape
- Screen printing available after weaving when tooling cannot be justified
- SGS testing arranged on request before shipment

How It Compares
Knitted elastic is softer and cheaper but narrows more when stretched. Woven elastic holds its width, which matters where the tape runs through a channel or a buckle.
Rigid tape gives a fixed length under load. Elastic is for anything that has to accommodate movement or a range of body sizes.
Cord is for drawstrings and toggles. Flat elastic webbing distributes pressure across a width instead of cutting a line into the material.
Use Guide
- Cut from relaxed tape, never from tape held under tension on the roll
- Specify stretch as a percentage and state whether you measure relaxed or extended width
- Sew with a stitch that allows movement or the thread will break before the elastic does
- Store away from heat and direct light to protect recovery

Questions Buyers Ask About Elastic Webbing Tape No 7
What is the minimum order for elastic webbing
1000 metres per colour and width for standard production, with samples available in 3 to 7 days.
How do you specify elastic webbing
Give us the relaxed width, the thickness, the stretch percentage you need and whether recovery should be soft or firm. Those four figures describe the tape far better than a written description does.
Can our logo be added to this tape
Either woven in with a computer jacquard plate, which survives washing and abrasion, or screen printed after weaving, which costs less to set up on short runs.
How is this item packed for export
50 yards per roll and 30 rolls per carton as standard, with some items on 500 yard rolls. We pack to your own list when you have one.
