Custom Braided Elastic Band 3-18mm OEKO-TEX 100

Custom Braided Elastic Band 3-18mm OEKO-TEX 100 is a made-to-order webbing product manufactured by Danyang Zivay Webbing Co., Ltd. (Zivay Webbing), a webbing factory in Danyang, Jiangsu, China, supplying OEM and ODM programmes for B2B buyers worldwide.

Product Overview

This custom braided elastic band is manufactured for B2B buyers who need a dependable, skin-friendly stretch component across a wide range of sewn and assembled products. It is a flat braided elastic supplied in black and white, with a customizable width range of 3mm to 18mm and a natural-state stretch performance in which a 10cm length extends to 35cm. The construction combines 75% polyester with 25% rubber, giving the band a balance of recovery force, soft hand feel, and dimensional stability that suits both high-volume garment production and smaller specialty runs.

Because the band is braided rather than woven or knitted in a plain structure, the surface shows a fine, tight rib pattern that resists fraying at cut ends and holds its shape after repeated extension. This makes it suitable for applications where the elastic is exposed, stitched along an edge, or used as a visible trim detail rather than being fully enclosed inside a casing.

Structure and Workmanship

The band is produced on braided elastic machinery that interlaces the polyester yarns around the rubber core. This braided structure distributes tension evenly across the width, so the band narrows less under load than many knitted elastics and returns consistently to its original length. The polyester component contributes abrasion resistance and color retention, while the rubber core delivers the elastic recovery that keeps the band functional through repeated wear and washing cycles.

Widths are customizable from 3mm to 18mm, and the braided density is adjusted accordingly so that narrow widths retain enough body for sewing while wider widths keep a flat profile. The images show both the tightly wound spool format used for bulk shipment and the band’s behavior when stretched by hand, where the braided cover remains intact and the elastic returns without permanent deformation.

Applications

This braided elastic band is used across apparel, accessories, medical textiles, and packaging. Typical applications include waistbands and cuffs in underwear and loungewear, adjustable straps in masks and protective covers, hair ties and headbands, shoe and bag components, and binding for small pouches and organizers. The white version is frequently chosen for light-colored and sheer fabrics, while the black version is used where the elastic is intended to blend into darker garments or to serve as a contrasting trim.

Because the band is soft against the skin and does not contain metal components, it is also suitable for products that come into direct and prolonged contact with the body. Buyers sourcing for intimate apparel, baby products, or wearable accessories can evaluate this band as a low-irritation option, subject to their own final product testing.

Quality and Compliance

The materials used in this elastic band comply with OEKO-TEX 100 requirements, which supports its use in textile products where skin contact and restricted substance control are purchasing criteria. This compliance is a material-level characteristic; buyers should confirm the specific product class required for their end use and request current documentation during sampling.

Consistency is maintained through controlled braiding tension, uniform rubber core placement, and inspection of wound spools before packing. The band is supplied in roll form, which reduces tangling during cutting and feeding on automated or semi-automated production lines.

Customization and Ordering

Customization is available for width within the 3mm to 18mm range, and color options cover black and white as standard. Buyers with specific requirements can discuss additional color matching, width tolerances, roll length, and packaging formats during the inquiry stage. The minimum order quantity is 1000 meters, and lead time is typically 3-7 days, depending on order volume and customization scope.

To receive an accurate quotation, please provide the required width, color, estimated quantity in meters, intended application, and any certification or testing documentation you need. Samples can be arranged so that stretch behavior, hand feel, and sewing performance can be evaluated against your production method before bulk ordering.
