Abstract
One of the large companies in knitting garment manufacturing received customer complains from stores that the elastic waste band used in the under wear is becoming lose and loses its elasticity after washing. Therefore, 15 samples from different types of elastic band were tested, using different materials, structure, finishing methods and widths. Results show that the type of the rubber band used and the way of storage before and after manufacture have a great influence on the performance of the elastic band in the garment. A testing technique is introduced to insure the performance of the rubber band is going to be reliable during its life time.
