Garments that are designed to stay in position require more than fabric construction.
They depend on functional trims that support fit, stability, and performance.
Gripper elastic is one such component used widely across sportswear, lingerie, shapewear, medical garments, and performance apparel.
Unlike regular elastics, silicone gripper elastics include silicone grip lines or patterns that create friction against skin or fabric. This prevents garments from slipping, rolling, or shifting during movement.
For garment manufacturers, sourcing the right elastic is essential because trims influence:
Konika Elastics manufactures silicone gripper elastics and elastic gripper tapes used by garment factories and apparel exporters looking for consistent performance and reliable production supply.
Gripper elastic is an elastic tape that includes silicone grip elements applied to one side of the elastic.
These silicone elements create friction, helping garments remain securely in place without excessive pressure.
The silicone surface may include:
This construction allows the elastic to stretch naturally while preventing garment movement.
Because of this functionality, silicone gripper elastic is widely used in performance garments and strapless apparel.
Many garments experience movement stress during normal wear.
Without grip support, fabrics can slide down, shift, or roll during activity.
Silicone gripper elastics solve this problem by providing controlled friction while maintaining elasticity.
Keeps garments positioned correctly even during intense movement.
Supports the intended shape and structure of the garment.
Soft silicone grips hold fabric without causing irritation.
Essential for sportswear, compression wear, and activewear.
Garments that slip or roll are often rejected by consumers.
For apparel brands and manufacturers, this small trim has a significant impact on garment quality.
