Custom Sewing Thread — Twill Tape with Rubber Coating
We supply sewing thread to garment factories and brands, built in Twill Tape with rubber coating for outerwear and jacket programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is lubrication level, because dry thread shreds at high machine speed, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, or packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

How we produce it
- Drawing or reference sample review, with size and finish confirmed
- Material selection and a finish sample or strike-off

- Bulk run with rubber coating applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing to your ratio
Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment
- Childrenswear and schoolwear — tested to the destination's safety standard
- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders
Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for EN 71 part 3 for decorative components are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same lubrication level.
FAQ
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 7 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
