Polyester Webbing Tape No 18
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 18 is woven to order at the width and thickness you specify rather than picked from a stock range. Width is made to request and thickness sits anywhere between 0.65 mm and 2.5 mm. We match colour to Pantone or to your physical sample, then hold one dye lot across the full quantity. Sampling runs 3 to 7 days; the production window is 7 to 15 days from approval.
Key Benefits

- Samples in 3 to 7 days and production in 7 to 15 days

Problems It Solves
- Width variation that stops hardware sliding cleanly on the finished strap

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
- Ask for the sample roll before the bulk dye lot is committed
- Keep finished rolls out of direct light during storage to avoid yellowing
- 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

Questions Buyers Ask About Polyester Webbing Tape No 18
Will the colour fade in sunlight
Polyester has light resistance second only to acrylic among common fibres. After 600 hours of sun exposure the strength loss is around 60 per cent, comparable to cotton, and shade holds better than on most dyed synthetics.
Can you match a Pantone number exactly
We match to Pantone or to a physical swatch you post to us, and we send a woven sample for written approval before the bulk dye lot runs. Approving the woven sample rather than a screen image is what removes most colour disputes.
Can you supply a test report
SGS testing is arranged on request before shipment. Tell us at quotation stage which properties need to be reported.
Will a repeat order match this one
Yes, provided you quote the same order reference. The colour reference and any jacquard plate stay on file here for exactly that reason.
Do you weave to a drawing
That is the normal case. Width and thickness come from your specification rather than from a standard size list.
