Hello. This is Kayaba from the ApparelX Trend Blog.
Today, I’d like to introduce Kasai’s (QUEEN ACE) tapes and cords, which are now available for purchase on ApparelX.
Manufacturer page: https://www.apparelx.jp/search.php?maker=162
It is Kasai’s original brand for planning and manufacturing tape and cord products. They originally made and sold sewing thread, and this was the brand used for that business; they also now develop tape and cord products.
Since they also manufacture yarn, they produce their tapes with great attention to the material and weaving method.
First, here is a list of the products we have posted on ApparelX for this release.
| Product number | Product name | Description | Specifications | Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0010 | PP tape herringbone weave | It is the lightest of all fibers, with a specific gravity of about 0.9, which is lighter than water, so it floats. It also does not absorb moisture, so it has excellent resistance to mold and bacteria. It is resistant to chemicals, but please note that it is somewhat weak to heat. | 1 roll: 50m thickness: approx. 0.8 mm Available sizes: 20mm / 25mm | 100% polypropylene |

| 1027 | Nylon flow (heavy) | This satin-like thick flow, with a weave pattern that is barely noticeable, fully showcases the luxurious luster of nylon yarn.

| 1048 | N line | Made with two different types of nylon yarn. We wove two yarns into the warp: a standard lustrous filament type (continuous filament) and a spun type with a cotton-like matte feel (short fibers). By piece dyeing this tape woven in natural color, the center line emerges due to differences in dye absorption and material texture.) | 1 roll: 50m thickness: approx. 2.mm Available sizes: 30mm / 38mm / 50mm | 100% nylon |

As you can see from the product descriptions, each product is made with great care and attention to detail.
Here, I would like to introduce a few of them.
Using hollow nylon yarn, it combines durability and lightness.
In addition, a unique pre-treatment of the yarn gives it an elegant twill weave.
With a rich volume while remaining lightweight, it reduces the burden on the body and is a signature QUEEN ACE tape designed to deliver a soft, silk-like feel.
By making hollow nylon yarn with a hollow center into a thick-flow weave, it is finished as a durable, high-quality, and lightweight tape.
This tape, which is about 20% lighter while maintaining strength and quality, can reduce product weight and lessen the burden on the body.
Also, because this yarn does not have a perfectly round fiber cross-section, it diffuses light irregularly and has more luster than usual.
The satin-like thick-flow weave makes that luster stand out even more, creating a premium feel.
Making a shoulder pad for a bag requires cutting the textile, wrapping the core material, and sewing it, which takes time and effort.
Our "ESTY PAD" is delivered as a semi-finished product with the core material inserted into a tube-woven tape.
Not only does it save time and effort, but because there are no seams, it has a clean and beautiful appearance.
There is a rich selection of various patterns (especially botanical styles), so please take a look!
