Anti-Unravel
Knitting

LockSafe is a unique technology that preserves and enhances the functionality of a knitted elastic. The technology works by locking the individual yarns of a knitted elastic together. This prevents the elastic from unravelling when snagged and stops the elastomeric from running back.

Extended
Garment Lifespan

Over 200 million garments with LockSafe elastic are sold worldwide each year. Evidence from retailers has shown LockSafe can offer a longer product lifespan. Garment returns have been substantially reduced by mitigating sewing line faults such as bar tacking and back latching.
