Truly sustainable sourcing

A large portion of carbon emissions comes from the logistics in the supply chain. Our sustainable stitch-to-store sourcing model aims to minimise this impact.

With global distribution centres, we can ship your tapes directly to your vendor from the facility that’s closest to the destination. We’ll also handle all the stock management, so you have less to deal with.

Frequently asked questions

What certifications do you offer?

We have a range of certified materials, including FSC, GOTS, GRS, Carbon Neutral and more. You can find out more about our certifications here.

Are your recycled polyester label yarns made from post- or pre-consumer waste?

We can offer both! Contact us and we’ll be happy to advise.

What inks do you use for printing?

We predominantly use vegetable and soy-based inks rather than chemical-based inks. This may vary, so always discuss with your point of contact.

Is the elastane in your elasticated tape sustainable?

We can provide recycled polyester and recycled nylon for elastic tape.

What types of tape do you supply for clothing?

Woven and printed tapes for drawcords, waistbands, seam trims, leg stripes, branded detailing and lanyards. Available in elastic and non-elastic, across a range of widths, materials and finishes. 

Can tapes be printed with a brand logo?

Yes. Silicone print, screen print and full-colour digital print all reproduce logos and patterns on tape. Printed nylon tape is a common choice for sportswear, and printed cotton tape suits premium and lifestyle brands. 

What materials are your tapes available in?

Polyester, nylon, cotton, organic cotton, recycled polyester and recycled nylon. Jacquard-woven tapes use polyester thread for detailed pattern and branding. Speak to the team about matching a material to your application. 

What are your minimum order quantities and lead times for tapes?

Lead times typically run from two to four weeks. Minimum order quantities depend on the tape type, width and material, so speak to the team for a figure against your specification.
