Engineers and product developers need identification solutions that function reliably in extreme conditions. As custom webbing manufacturers, we create specialized solutions tailored to your most demanding application requirements.
Biosafe webbing features permanent raised 3D elements (0.5-2.0mm) integrated directly into the webbing through a heat-binding process, enabling identification by both sight and touch in zero-visibility conditions. These tactile markers maintain 85-95% of original tensile strength, withstand 10,000+ wear cycles, and function across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C without requiring separate attachments that could fail.
