Woven Tapes are a type of narrow woven product made with natural fibers or synthetic fibers. It is characterized as “narrow woven tapes” because the width of each yarn is very narrow. Woven Tapes consist of a series of warp yarns and weft yarns where the warp yarns are longer than the wefts. Narrow woven tapes are used in many textile products such as carpets, curtains and upholstery. Woven tapes are also used in garments and fabrics.
Woven Tape is widely used in carpets, curtains and upholstery because of its aesthetic properties. They can be plain or have intricate patterns. The classic carpet design known as herringbone uses narrow woven tape to create alternating rows of dark and light areas on a pale background. These designs can be made with various weaving techniques such as twill weave and plain weave. Twill weave creates diagonal lines in a repeating pattern, while plain weave uses only straight weft threads to create a pattern on the fabric. Narrow woven tape fabrics can be heat treated to make them stronger for outdoor applications such as cushions for the porch furniture.
The fancy tape can be fringed with glitter and tassels. It differs from standard tapes and is made according to the customer’s demand. Today, fancy fabrics still play an important role in fashion. Fancy Tape, which is especially used for decoration purposes, is also highly preferred in underwear such as corsets, bras, underwire, garters, boxers.
There are many types of fabrics in the narrow weaving industry. One of them is colored fabrics produced in different colors from different fabric types. Colored narrow woven fabrics find their place in all areas of textile and fashion. Colored Tapes have different qualities and have a wide range of uses.
