Hello.
This is mammy from the ApparelX trend blog.
This time we will introduce Hoshika, which handles the Star brand, well-known for its bias tape.
Hoshika Co., Ltd. is a bias tape manufacturer celebrating its 70th anniversary since its founding and 35th anniversary since its establishment.
I'm sure many of you have seen the vibrant blue sample card.
Star Bias is a bias tape brand developed by Hoshika Corporation.
We always keep sufficient textile in stock and produce all products in our own factories in Japan, ensuring a stable supply and immediate delivery.
In addition, the company has been supplying "high-quality products" every day by utilizing the technical capabilities it has cultivated over the years since its founding.
Starbias is used in a wide range of applications, including apparel, uniforms, bedding, miscellaneous goods, and vehicle materials.
We also textile a wide variety of bias tape fabrics, including TC broadcloth, cotton broadcloth, retro-roll embossing, artificial leather (lamus), synthetic leather, dechin, satin, etc.
By cutting the fabric at a 45° angle and forming it into tape, it becomes a tape with moderate elasticity and flexibility, and is mainly used for finishing seams and edging to give products a beautiful finish. Even fabric that normally does not stretch can be made stretchy by cutting it at an angle, making it easier to follow curves.
In addition, by adding processing such as folding and piping, it is possible to create a more fashionable product.
600 T/C broadcloth Piping Tape
TC broadcloth is a top-class manufacturer of industrial bias tapes in Japan.
This versatile bias tape is made from a cotton and polyester blend.
It has a piping core inside, so it can be used as an accent for a variety of items, such as outerwear, bags, and cushions.
You can also choose the type and thickness of the lead.
5780 Cotton broadcloth bias tape (double fold)
This standard bias tape is made from 100% cotton and is soft to the touch.
There is a wide variety of colors available, and processing methods other than double folding are also available.
M-7000 Light Force CF (Crossfold)
This is a retroreflective tape that uses durable polyester as the base fabric.
Since it is cross-folded, both ends are folded.
It can be used to line clothes worn at night, and its bright light will increase safety.
10007 Exciting Color Double Fold Tape
We also have bias tape in dazzling neon colors.
There are neon colored cord and stoppers, but I think there are surprisingly few fluorescent colored bias tapes.
If you use neon colored bias tape along with the other accessories, it's sure to stand out.
L-6400 Suede WF (double-fold tape)
It is a luxurious suede-like artificial leather.
The ultra-fine microfibers are soft to the touch and provide a smooth feel.
It is extremely light, breathable and has moderate elasticity.
It can be washed or dry cleaned and can be used for clothing, interior decoration, displays, etc.
M-9100 Aurora Color Roll 4F (Four-fold Tape)
It is made up of four layers: a glass bead layer, an aurora layer, a color layer, and a polyester taffeta layer. It is a reflector that combines the safety of regular reflecting materials with the fashionable functionality of changing color like the aurora.
This is a beautiful bias tape whose color changes depending on the amount of light it receives.
It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as accents for outerwear, bags, and miscellaneous goods.
M-8000 Flame-retardant roll WF (double-fold tape)
The base fabric is flame-retardant and the main application of this roll projection material is for high-visibility safety clothing.
It can be used in the design of general firefighting uniforms based on the European standard EN496, and is used for uniforms that require high roll radiance.
Star Bias carries a wide range of bias tapes, including standard products as well as special materials.
We highly recommend this product to those who want to pay attention to the materials, even the piping.
