Product Overview
What This Block Is And Why It Exists
The moulded cup bra is the volume construction in the bra category. A pre moulded cup gives a smooth outer line under clothing, which is what most retail bra programmes are built on.
The strapless version uses the same cup platform with a silicone gripper band and reinforced side support, and it is normally sold as a convertible - strapless with detachable straps.
Produced across a multi colour card, with three row hook and eye closures as standard.
Key Benefits
- Smooth outer line from a pre moulded cup.
- Strapless and convertible options on the same cup platform.
- Three row hook and eye closure as standard.
- Multi colour cards produced on one lab dip approval.
Application Scenarios
Where This Block Is Used
- Chain retail bra programmes
- Everyday intimates ranges
- Occasion and bridal wear
- Matched sets with lace or modal panties
Who It Is For
- Retailers who need one dependable volume bra.
- Brands whose customers buy smooth cup bras repeatedly.
- Buyers needing a strapless option without a second cup tooling.
- Anyone pairing bras to an existing panty range.
Problems It Solves
- Changing the cup shape mid programme means new tooling and a new timeline.
- Strapless bras fail on grip and side support, not on the cup.
- Multi colour cards approved separately never match across the range.
- Convertible strap hardware is often specified after the strap is already made.

Materials
Fabric Platform
All blocks run on the same fabric platform, which is what lets a mixed range share one lab dip round and one colour card. Colour is approved on physical lab dips, fabric swatches and print strike offs.
Colour card and Pantone references used at lab dip approval.
| 95% cotton / 5% spandex | The default for briefs, trunks and boxer briefs. Soft hand feel, good recovery, easy to print and dye. |
|---|---|
| 95% modal / 5% spandex | Cooler and more fluid than cotton. Popular for womens panties and premium mens ranges. |
| 95% bamboo / 5% spandex | Marketed as a sustainable option with a very smooth surface and good moisture handling. |
| 90% nylon / 10% spandex | Higher stretch and recovery. Used for seamless bonded styles and sport ranges. |
| 95% polyester / 5% spandex | The base for sublimation printing, which needs a polyester rich surface to hold the ink. |
| Merino wool blends | Available for bra and base layer programmes where thermal performance is required. |
