Polyester Webbing Tape No 17
Dimensionally stable polyester tape for straps that must hold their shape, their colour and their rated load outdoors.
What This Item Is
Polyester Webbing Tape No 17 is made on our own looms in Foshan, cut and rolled to the length your line runs. 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
- Smooth near-round filament cross section for a clean even face
- Pantone matched dyeing with the reference agreed before weaving starts
- Thickness woven from 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm against your own drawing
- Woven to your width and to a thickness anywhere from 0.65 mm to 2.5 mm
- Pantone colour matching against a number or against a swatch you send us
Problems It Solves
- Straps that stretch out of tolerance after the first season of use

Application Scenarios
- Pet collars and leads that get washed regularly

Technical Features

How It Compares
Polyester holds its length and colour far better outdoors. Polypropylene is lighter and cheaper but its melting point is only 165 to 173 degrees Celsius and it ages faster in light.
Polyester is stronger wet than dry cotton and does not mildew. Cotton wins on hand feel and on anything that will be dyed or printed by the customer later.
Nylon takes up around 4 per cent moisture against polyester's 0.4 per cent, so nylon straps go heavy and stretch in the wet while polyester holds.
Use Guide
- Specify roll length to match your cutting table so you waste less tail
- Send the width, thickness and a colour reference; a Pantone number is faster than a description
- Ask for the sample roll before the bulk dye lot is committed
- Keep finished rolls out of direct light during storage to avoid yellowing

Questions Buyers Ask About Polyester Webbing Tape No 17
What is the minimum order for polyester webbing
1000 metres per colour and width for standard production. Sample lengths are available in 3 to 7 days so you can test before committing.
Does polyester webbing stretch under load
Far less than nylon or polypropylene. Polyester's low moisture regain of about 0.4 per cent means it behaves almost the same wet as dry, so a strap tensioned in the rain does not lengthen the way a nylon one will.
What is the minimum order for this item
1000 metres per colour and width on standard production. Some constructions run from 100 metres, so tell us what you need and we will confirm rather than quote a blanket figure.
How quickly can we see a physical sample
3 to 7 days. Production follows in 7 to 15 days once you approve the sample and the colour.
Can you match our colour reference
Yes, to a Pantone number or to a swatch you post to us. You approve a woven sample before the bulk dye lot is committed.
