As a trusted supplier to the top global sportswear brands, here at Pro-Stretch we produce many innovative trims, but some of our favourites are the many varieties of Elastics that we create.
With lots of options available for sportswear trims and leisurewear trims, we can create many different designs, colours, and widths. These can be created for functionable garments, as well as for novelty/aesthetic purposes. We can create designs using your own artwork, or we can provide a design service; we also offer FREE sample development.
We have put together a list of our favourite elastic qualities to help you decide which is the best option for you!
1. Sublimated Print Elastics can be used for branding apparel, or for intricate designs, on waistband or sports bra elastic. We can provide any width and the sublimated print allows a more innovative approach to branding.

2. Silicone Gripper Elastics tend to be a wider elastic used on waistband/bra elastics and often include a silicone strip or pattern to act as a gripper to the skin. This is particularly beneficial for performance garments, and gymwear apparel.

3. Mesh Elastics provide brands with a great option for ventilation on a garment. Pro-stretch can supply a wide variety of mesh options including monofilament, ladder and power mesh that can be functional as well as breathable for clothing.

4. Y-shaped Elastics, similarly used like binding or fold-over elastics, allow the elastic trim to be sewn onto cuffs and hems of leisurewear and sportswear. Y-shaped Elastics may contain mesh, silicone and branding options.

5. Jacquard Woven Elastics use a weaving technology to create a pattern or branding using multiple colours. Jacquard elastics can be very soft and durable and used in leisurewear and sportswear, for instance.

6. Embossed/Debossed Elastics allow brands to play with texture in their garments; this can be on waistband elastics, sports bras or even back neck tapes. The Embossed/Debossed look can be used for patterns or logo branding on an elastic trim.

7. Ribbed Elastics are most commonly used on waistbands or sleeves in sportswear and leisurewear. Ribbed elastics prevent ‘rolling’ or twisting for the wearer and brands can opt for a logo or colour reveal.
