Wholesale Webbing and Technical Tapes

Technical tapes and webbing – strength for load-bearing products

Technical tapes (webbing, narrow technical fabrics) are dense woven tapes designed to withstand tension, abrasion and weather. They are used where a decorative ribbon would tear or stretch – handles and straps on bags and backpacks, straps, belts, workwear and military clothing, furniture, outdoor and sports equipment. As a manufacturer, Polkom offers wholesale technical tapes – standard, technical and for uniforms – as well as custom production for specific applications in different industries.

Types of technical tape

Materials

Widths

The thickness and density of the tape are chosen according to the load. When you enquire, tell us what product the tape is for and what load it has to bear.

Applications by industry

• bags and backpacks – handles, shoulder straps, adjustment straps;
• clothing – workwear, uniforms and military clothing, belts;
• footwear – heel tabs, straps, reinforcing tapes;
• furniture – straps for seats and backrests, upholstery bindings;
• sports and outdoor – equipment, lifting and safety straps;
• packaging and logistics – handles on boxes and bags.

A set with metal and plastic accessories

Technical tape rarely works alone – it is combined with buckles, rings and adjusters. From Polkom you can order the tape and its accessories in one delivery: plastic buckles, metal buckles and rings, as well as hook and loop (Velcro) for quick fastening. This way the width of the tape and the opening of the buckle match exactly.

Tapes for uniforms and workwear

On uniforms the tape has to withstand daily loads and industrial laundering without losing its colour. That is why dense polyester or cotton tapes are chosen for them, in standard uniform colours – olive, navy, grey, black and beige – or in a colour matched to a fabric sample.

Colours and logo tape

We offer standard colours – black, white, navy, olive, grey and beige – and dye to Pantone on request. The logo can be woven into the tape as with jacquard ribbons, or printed if the design is multicoloured.

What to check when choosing

• load – how much weight the handle, shoulder strap or strap will carry;
• environment – sun, moisture, salt or frequent washing call for different materials;
• feel – tapes that touch the skin should have a soft edge;
• compatibility – the width and thickness must fit the buckle or adjuster;
• sewing – very dense tapes need a suitable needle and thread; see also our technical threads.

If you are not sure which tape is suitable, send us a photo or a sample of the product – we will suggest a solution and prepare a sample for testing.
