Elastics
We've been making elastic bands for as long as we can remember. We weave, braid and knit elastic ribbons and straps, and over the decades we have accumulated unrivalled experience in these highly technical products, which play a decisive role in the quality and durability of your products...
It is our in-depth understanding of issues related to aging and wash resistance that enables us to best guide you in choosing the right manufacturing method for woven, braided, or knitted elastic , incorporating spandex or latex, bare rubber, or covered yarns.
The relevance of these choices will prevent you from ruining the intrinsic quality of your productions because of a few centimeters of elastic ribbon that fades, swirls, shrinks or loses all elasticity after two washes or exposure to sea water! Precise technical data, defined by a well-equipped in-house laboratory, are associated with each elastic, ensuring total reliability of these components, the Achilles' heel of your confections...
Countless technical options are available to you: buttonholes, widths ranging from 2 mm to 120 mm, astrakhan elastic, printed, jacquard, flame-retardant, ultra-flexible or super-reinforced, dyed in any color, delivered on a single roll or by the million meters. As you can see, we’ve been true specialists in these products since… 1784!
For example, we manufacture :

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Rubber Bands
Are your rubber bands made in France?
Yes. We weave, braid, and knit our elastic bands in Comines, in northern France, where we have been manufacturing them since 1784. Each product is accompanied by precise technical specifications, established by our in-house laboratory, which guarantees its resistance to aging and washing.
Do you make custom elastic bands?
Yes. Whether it’s width (from 2 mm to 120 mm), construction, material, color, or pattern, our teams will analyze your application and guide you toward the most suitable construction—woven, braided, or knitted.
What materials and designs do you offer?
How do you ensure that the product holds up to washing and the test of time?
Our understanding of the issues related to fabric aging ensures that a garment is not compromised by elastic that bleeds color, twists, shrinks, or loses its elasticity after a few washes or exposure to seawater. Each product is tested in-house before approval.
Can we order in small quantities?
Yes. Our elastic bands are available by the piece, by the roll, or by the million meters. For small quantities, our online store, STN Distriweb, ships directly to you; for custom orders, please contact us regardless of the quantity.
How can I get a sample or a custom design?
