Single Taper
Transition from a wider section to a narrower one along the same woven length, without joining two separate widths.
Create webbing with wider and narrower sections shaped to your product design. The width changes are woven directly into one continuous webbing, with finished edges throughout. Add jacquard logos and patterns, choose elastic or non-elastic construction, and tailor the material to your requirements.
Discuss Your Design
Your product may need different widths along the same piece of webbing. Whether you're working with a tapered end, a wider contact area, or several width changes, the profile can be developed around your design rather than limited to one constant width.
Transition from a wider section to a narrower one along the same woven length, without joining two separate widths.
Add width at a selected position while keeping the surrounding sections narrower.
Explore more than one width change along the same webbing, with the position and length of each zone planned around your design.
Keep a wider section over a longer distance, then transition to narrower webbing where needed.
These are just a few examples of what you can create. If your product calls for a different shape or width arrangement, share your design with us. We'd be happy to explore the possibilities with you.
We can produce variable width webbing up to 100 mm wide, with wider and narrower sections woven into one continuous piece. However, the widest and narrowest measurements must work together—the achievable width change depends on the construction and design requirements.
| Maximum Width | Up to 100 mm |
|---|---|
| Width Ratio | A 2.5:1 ratio is achievable in suitable constructions. |
| Width Transitions | Gradual or more defined, depending on the design. |
| Section Length & Placement | Customisable, subject to profile review. |
| Finished Edges | Woven continuously through the width transitions. |
| Supply Format | Continuous rolls or cut lengths. |
The maximum and minimum widths must stay within a workable ratio. These examples show why the combination matters.
2.5:1 width ratio. A confirmed achievable width combination.
Also a 2.5:1 width ratio. Feasibility depends on the jacquard design, elasticity, thickness, and construction.
A 5:1 width ratio is too large for this combination, even though 100 mm itself is achievable.
The width ratio is a useful starting point, not a universal manufacturing limit. Each profile must be reviewed together with its construction requirements.
Woven logos and patterns need to fit the changing width. A design that works in the wider section may need adjustment where the webbing narrows.
Elastic and non-elastic webbing require different construction considerations. The required stretch performance needs to be reviewed alongside the width profile.
The target thickness and woven structure also affect how the width changes can be produced, especially across the transition areas.
Share your widest and narrowest measurements, along with any logo, stretch, or thickness requirements. We can review the combination with you before sampling.
Your branding doesn't have to be limited to constant-width webbing. Add woven logos, repeating patterns, or printed graphics to your variable width design. The key is choosing a branding method and placement that work with both the wider and narrower sections.
Weave your logo or pattern directly into the webbing. We can develop elastic and non-elastic jacquard constructions, with the artwork and width profile reviewed together.
Apply logos to the webbing surface without weaving them into the structure. Placement and material suitability can be reviewed before sampling.
An option for detailed or multicolour graphics on suitable webbing. Surface texture, material, and stretch need to be considered.
A logo that fits clearly within a 50 mm section may not work the same way when the webbing narrows to 20 mm. The position of your artwork matters just as much as the branding method. Here are some development options worth considering.
| Your Design Requirement | What We Can Explore |
|---|---|
| A complete, detailed logo | Position it within a wider section where there is more room for the design. |
| A pattern running along the webbing | Review how the pattern continues through wider, narrower, and transition areas. |
| Complex or multicolour artwork | Compare jacquard weaving with suitable printing methods based on the design and webbing construction. |
| Branding on elastic webbing | Check how the design appears and performs when the webbing stretches. |
Share your logo or pattern, the intended width measurements, and where you want the branding to appear. Even if the artwork is not final, we can help you assess which branding approach is worth developing first.
Your wider and narrower sections may need to do different jobs. We can develop different materials, thicknesses, firmness, and stretch characteristics along one continuous piece of variable width webbing — not just change its shape. The key is deciding where these differences are actually needed.
| What Your Product Needs | What We Can Develop |
|---|---|
| A wider area that rests against the body | A softer or thicker construction for contact and comfort. |
| A narrower section that passes through hardware | A thinner or firmer section developed around the hardware dimensions. |
| Stretch in one section, greater stability in another | Different elastic yarn arrangements or woven structures across selected zones. |
| Different materials along the same webbing | Suitable yarn combinations for different sections within one continuous woven piece. |
Not every width change needs a construction change. If the same material and structure can meet your requirements throughout, that may be the simpler starting point.
A wider, softer section and a narrower, firmer section may each be achievable. But they still need to work together as one continuous webbing.
When thickness, materials, or stretch characteristics change, the transition also needs to be developed.
Yarn arrangement and woven structure can affect how the webbing bends, feels, and stretches through that area.
We assess the complete width profile — not just whether each individual section can be woven.
| Anti-slip | Silicone printing can be applied to selected areas where additional grip is needed. |
|---|---|
| UV Resistance | Post-production UV treatment is available with a lower MOQ, while UV-resistant yarns generally require a higher MOQ. |
| Other Performance Needs | Share your requirements for abrasion resistance, durability, or other application-specific conditions for review. |
Material combinations, treatments, and performance requirements are reviewed against the complete width profile and intended application.
Share your width profile and tell us what each section needs to do. We can help assess a suitable material and construction approach for your design.
Variable width webbing is worth considering when different parts of your product need different widths. Whether it improves the design depends on where those changes occur and what they need to achieve.
A handbag handle may need a wider section where it rests on the shoulder or sits in the hand, while the ends remain narrower for attachment to the bag.
These sections can be developed as one continuous woven piece. The wider area still needs the right length, thickness, and flexibility for the intended carrying position — width alone does not guarantee comfort.
Your product may need a wider section for support or contact, while a buckle or adjuster requires narrower webbing. A continuous width profile can combine these functions without making the entire webbing the same width.
Check the hardware opening, webbing thickness, and adjustment length together. The narrow section must still move and hold as intended within the hardware.
Some designs require several wider and narrower sections along the same webbing. These repeating width changes can be developed as one continuous woven profile without joining separate pieces at each transition.
Jacquard patterns can also be considered within the changing widths. Transition spacing, width differences, and pattern details must be assessed together for weaving feasibility.
You don't need every specification finalised before discussing your variable width webbing. We can start from what you already have and work towards a width profile that can be evaluated for sampling.
Already have a drawing or width profile? Share the narrow and wide dimensions, section lengths, and transition positions.
We can review the profile against weaving possibilities and identify areas that may need adjustment.
Identify which width changes can be taken forward for sampling and which need further review.
Have webbing you want to reproduce or improve? Tell us which features should stay the same and what you want to change.
We can examine the width profile, construction, thickness, or stretch. A physical sample may be needed for closer assessment.
Identify the features to preserve and the construction or performance changes to evaluate.
Know where your product needs wider or narrower sections, but haven't worked out the dimensions yet?
Tell us how the webbing will be used, where support or adjustment is needed, and what hardware it must fit.
Develop an initial width profile that can be reviewed for manufacturing feasibility.
Share your drawing, sample photos, or a simple sketch of your intended application. Include any dimensions or performance requirements you already know — it's fine if some details are still undecided.
Once we understand your width profile and construction requirements, we'll discuss the sampling approach, production quantities, and practical next steps.
