Safety stitching on the strap
Sewing a strap is quite an art—and it's very technical!
The basic principle is that the sewn section must be… stronger than the strap itself, which obviously ensures absolute safety and absolute quality.
It may seem impossible that stitching on webbing isn't a weak point, but… it is possible—with state-of-the-art sewing equipment, intelligently designed webbing, the best sewing thread, and a culture of continuous quality control at every stage of production.
The Sagaert Group, with its factories located exclusively in France and drawing on more than two centuries of experience, has mastered this field perfectly.

Safety Stitching on Straps: A Closer Look
The basic principle: the sewn section must be stronger than the strap itself. This can be achieved with state-of-the-art sewing equipment, straps specifically designed for sewing, and the best sewing thread.
The stitching pattern (framed cross, zigzag, W), the type of thread, the stitch length, and the overlap length are selected based on the strap and the load to be supported, in order to distribute the stress across the entire stitched area.
Every stage of the manufacturing process is continuously monitored. In accordance with specifications, tensile tests verify the strength of the sewn assembly. To understand breaking load and working load, see our webbing guide or contact us.
Safety Stitching on Straps: Frequently Asked Questions
A stitch designed to bear the load of the strap without becoming its weak point, thanks to the choice of pattern, thread, stitch density, and stitch length.
No, if it's designed properly: our principle is that the sewn section should be stronger than the strap itself, thanks to state-of-the-art materials, specially designed straps, and the best thread.
The stitch pattern is chosen based on the intended use and the load: a box stitch, zigzag, or W-stitch, for example, to distribute the stress across the entire sewn area.
Through continuous monitoring of all stages of production and, in accordance with specifications, through tensile tests on the sewn assembly.
On harnesses, buckled straps, technical or military-grade straps, and textile loops.
