Discover where knitted elastic, woven elastic, buttonhole elastic, patterned products and woven tapes are used—and how the correct product should be selected for each application.

Industry Expertise

Every Textile Product Requires a Different Elastic Solution.

Elastic is a relatively small component in a finished textile product, yet it directly influences comfort, fit, shape retention, sewing behavior and perceived quality. Choosing solely by width or color is therefore rarely enough.

Senem Örme’s product range includes knitted elastics, woven elastics, heat-set constructions, buttonhole products, patterned and metallic elastics, finished products and woven tapes. Each group offers different advantages depending on the end use.
