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.

We supply Flat Knitted Elastics neatly layered in a box to support efficient handling and storage within manufacturing environments. This range is available in a comprehensive selection of widths to suit varied production requirements:

  • Quarter inch

  • Half inch

  • Three-quarter inch

  • One inch

  • One and a quarter inch

  • One and a half inch

  • Two inch

  • Two and a half inch

Furthermore, this product is offered in black or white only, ensuring consistent colour matching across garment and textile lines.

Common Industry Applications

Due to its high stretch and soft finish, Flat Knitted Elastic is widely specified across the textile and commercial sectors. Manufacturers commonly use it in garment production where comfort and flexibility are essential. Typical applications include:

  • Apparel waistbands and garment components

  • Underwear, leisurewear, and sportswear

  • Bedding and mattress products

  • Upholstery and soft furnishings

  • Commercial strapping and textile assemblies

  • Medical and care textiles

  • Packaging and reusable textile products

Therefore, it remains a versatile solution for both clothing and non-clothing applications.

Manufactured for Long-Term Use

This elastic stretches smoothly under load and, importantly, returns quickly to its original shape and length. Consequently, it delivers reliable long-term performance even in demanding production cycles. Moreover, the knitted polyester outer provides excellent resistance to wear while maintaining a lightweight feel.
