One is soft and pleasant against the skin, another holds a trouser waistband in place every time you bend, a third carries the brand logo. As a manufacturer, Polkom offers wholesale elastic for clothing – woven, knitted, jacquard logo elastic, lingerie elastic, elastic cord and footwear elastic – in white, black and colours, from stock in various widths and made to order. This page is an overview to help you choose the right type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery textile elastic contains elastomeric yarns – latex (rubber) or elastane – covered or combined with polyester, polyamide or cotton. The way the yarns are bound together – by weaving, knitting or braiding – determines softness, strength and stretch behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypes of elastic – comparison\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eComposition\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eCharacter\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eMain application\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWoven elastic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003epolyester + latex\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003edense, stable, does not narrow under tension\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003etrouser and skirt waistbands, belts, uniforms, footwear, bed linen\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eKnitted elastic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003epolyester + latex\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003esoft, light, flexible\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003elingerie, childrenswear and sportswear, face masks, bed linen\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJacquard logo elastic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003epolyester or polyamide + elastane\/latex\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ewoven-in logo or pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eunderwear waistbands, sportswear, swimwear\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLingerie elastic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003epolyamide or polyester + elastane\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003efine, soft, with picot, plush or silicone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebras, briefs, corsetry, tights\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eElastic cord\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ecovered elastic core\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eround cross-section\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eloops, face masks, tags, packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMain types of elastic\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWoven elastic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most stable type – with distinct ribs, it keeps its width when stretched and does not roll in the casing.
