Why this construction works
Because a warp knitted tricot is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: low curl, smooth and stable, which makes it easy to cut and bond. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Recommended applications
Used for Sports Bras and for the accessories around them. controlled support and soft contact at the underband is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.
Moisture-Wicking fabric prepared for Sports Bras production
Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control
Minimum trial order is 300 metres per colour and bulk production takes 20-25 days once the approval sample is signed. Documentation includes test reports per lot, OEKO-TEX conformity and full construction sheets.
