SHINDO(SIC) handles tapes, cords, braids, piping, as well as lace, elastic bands, buckles, and rings. You can choose from polyester, cotton, nylon, polyurethane, and more to suit your applications and finish.
Braids are suitable for edging, decoration, and reinforcement, while piping is ideal for areas where you want to highlight seams and edges. Polyester can be chosen for strength and dimensional stability, cotton for absorbency and a comfortable feel against the skin, nylon for lightness and abrasion resistance, and polyurethane for stretchability.
Customer reviews mention ease of color matching, ease of handling during sewing, and strength for reinforcement applications.
This introduction was written by AI based on product data, reviews and the ApparelX Wiki.
QIs it possible to have tape or cord cut one by one to the specified length?
Yes, that is possible. Please select either scissor cutting or heat cutting from the options on each product page and enter the quantity.
Please write your desired length in the notes section at that time.
Since cutting always results in some cutting loss, if the number of cuts is large, it may not be possible to cut all of them from the number of rolls you ordered.
In that case, our order staff will contact you to confirm whether to cut as much as possible from the number of rolls ordered or to add more quantity.
QIs it possible to specify an angled cut edge for heat cutting?
Angled cutting is possible, but since it is done by hand, there may be a deviation of a few degrees.
Please specify 45° diagonally, etc. when placing your order.
QWhat do 7×7 mm and 9×9 mm mean in the width notation for binder tape and knit tape?
This width specification has a groove in the center and is used by sandwiching textile, etc.
In the case of 7×7 mm, it becomes 7 mm when folded in half.
QCan tassel finishing be applied to cords?
Tassel finishing is possible using cords. It can be done simply by untying the cord, or by attaching a separate thin cord to the cord end. Since this is manual processing, a separate quote is required. Please contact us via the
support page for details.

・Planned quantityQWhat materials can be heat cut?
For synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon, acrylic, polypropylene, etc.), heat cutting is possible.
For natural fibers (cotton, linen, silk, etc.), heat cutting cannot be used because they will burn or char, so only scissors cutting is possible.
Even with synthetic fibers, extra-thick twist cord may not fuse properly, so please be careful.
