The core of our floor

Elastic Tapes

Woven and knitted elastics for waistbands, intimates, medical, and industrial use, engineered for the stretch and recovery each application needs.

Elastic tape is where Jain Narrow Fabrics started in 1952 and it remains the widest part of our range. Every tape is built around a target elongation and recovery curve, then finished for the hand-feel the end product needs, from a brushed plush face for skin contact to a firm high-modulus body for load-bearing straps.
