Jacquard Elastic is a specialized type of elastic band that combines functionality with decorative woven patterns, often used in apparel and accessories for both stretch and aesthetic appeal.
Key Features of Jacquard Elastic:
-
Decorative Design – Features intricate woven patterns (stripes, logos, floral motifs, etc.) using the Jacquard weaving technique, which allows for complex, multi-colored designs.
-
Elasticity – Made with a mix of elastic fibers (like spandex or rubber) and non-elastic yarns (polyester, cotton, or nylon) to provide stretch and recovery.
-
Durability – High-quality Jacquard elastic retains its stretch and design even after repeated washing.
-
Soft & Comfortable – Often used in garments that touch the skin (underwear, lingerie, waistbands).
Common Uses:
- Clothing: Waistbands (pants, skirts), lingerie, swimwear, socks, and sportswear.
- Accessories: Headbands, hair ties, and decorative straps.
- Medical & Orthopedic: Compression garments, braces (due to its comfort and adjustability).
- Home Textiles: Elasticated fitted sheets, cushion covers.
Materials Used:
-
Elastic Core: Spandex (Lycra®), rubber, or latex for stretch.
-
Outer Weave: Polyester, cotton, nylon, or a blend for durability and print retention.
