What a gum tape manufacturer needs to confirm first
Gum tape is made to spec, so the useful conversation starts with the application rather than with a product code. These six points let us confirm feasibility and quote.
APPLICATION
What the tape has to do on the garment and which two surfaces it sits between. This is the single most useful thing you can tell us.
WIDTH
Target width in millimetres. Send a range if you have flexibility — it often widens what is feasible.
ADHESION
The bond strength and the substrate it must hold to. We confirm adhesion against your actual application before sampling rather than quoting a generic figure.
COLOURWAY
Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch, or confirmation that natural or clear is acceptable.
EXISTING SAMPLE
A physical piece of what you use now, if there is one. Matching an existing tape is faster and more reliable than working from a written description.
QUANTITY AND MARKET
Order quantity and destination market, which sets the test reports that ship with the goods.
Why this one is quoted, not listed
Most of our range carries a published daily capacity — jacquard elastic at 25,000 yards, woven at 20,000, knit at 50,000, herringbone and grosgrain at a combined 80,000, drawcord and drawstring at a combined 60,000. Gum tape does not, and we would rather say so than publish a number that was measured against somebody else’s specification. It is made to spec, and the run depends on what you need it to do.
What does not change is where it is made and who makes it. Everything ships from our own floor in Uttarkhan, Uttara — an 18,000 sq ft factory running 24 hours shift-wise with 30 office staff and 135 production workers, in operation since 2014. Nothing is sub-contracted out, so gum tape can sit on the same purchase order as the tapes, cords and elastics it will be used with.
Every lot is checked in our in-house lab against three ISO methods before dispatch — pH (ISO 3071), colour fastness to rubbing (ISO 105 X12) and colour fastness to water (ISO 105 E01). Timing does not change with order size either: a physical sample 4 working days from a confirmed spec, and bulk 10 days after you approve that sample. We have exported to more than ten European markets since 2014.
Common questions
Is gum tape available in different widths?
