Description
Flat Knitted Elastics
Designed for Professional Manufacturing
Our Flat Knitted Elastics are engineered for businesses that require high stretch, comfort, and consistent performance in textile and commercial manufacturing. Textile Enterprises Limited produces this elastic using a natural extruded rubber core with a 100% polyester knitted outer, resulting in a product that delivers superior elasticity while maintaining strength and durability.
Unlike flat woven elastics, this knitted construction offers an approx. 150% stretch rate, making it significantly more flexible and responsive under tension. As a result, it suits applications where movement, recovery, and wearer comfort matter most. In addition, the soft knitted surface reduces irritation while remaining robust enough for repeated use in high-volume production.

Moreover, the knitted polyester outer provides excellent resistance to wear while maintaining a lightweight feel.
