Elastics
Four constructions engineered for waistbands, activewear linings and intimate apparel — from firm woven builds to soft knit stretch, plus brand-logo jacquard, all manufactured to your exact spec in Dhaka.
Jacquard elastic
Patterned, woven-in designs for waistbands and intimate apparel.
Woven elastic
Firm, non-roll construction for waistbands and straps.
Knit elastic
Soft, lightweight stretch for underwear and activewear linings.
Button-hole elastic
Pre-punched holes for adjustable waistbands on children’s and infant wear.
// WHY FOUR CONSTRUCTIONS
The same job, four different fabrics
“Elastic” isn’t one material — it’s a category of constructions, each built differently for a different feel against the body. A firm woven build holds its shape under repeated stretch and won’t roll at the waistband edge. A knit build trades some of that firmness for softness, which is exactly what you want against bare skin in underwear or activewear. Jacquard adds a woven-in pattern or logo to either base. Button-hole elastic is a functional variant — punched holes rather than a decorative one — built for garments that need to adjust in size, typically children’s and infant wear.
Getting the construction right matters more than it might seem: the wrong elastic on the wrong garment either feels wrong to the wearer or fails early — rolling, losing recovery, or cracking a printed logo. We manufacture all four in-house, so switching between them for different SKUs in the same order doesn’t mean switching suppliers.

Common questions
Can I mix constructions in one order?
Yes — since all four are made in-house, a single PO can include jacquard for one SKU and knit for another without switching suppliers or lead times shifting.
Which elastic is best for a waistband that won’t roll?
Woven elastic is built specifically for this — its firm, non-roll construction holds shape under repeated wear, unlike a softer knit build.
Can button-hole elastic be made in a specific hole spacing?
Yes, it’s made to spec — send your target spacing and width and we’ll confirm feasibility before sampling.
What’s the minimum order quantity?
It depends on construction, width, and colour count. Send your spec and target quantity and we’ll quote an exact minimum.
How long from spec to sample?
4 working days once the spec is confirmed — our standard DTM turnaround across all four constructions.
