Interfacing Tape (also called insert strips) is a strip-shaped accessory used in garment manufacturing for localized support, shaping, and reinforcement. It is typically attached to the inner side of the fabric to enhance the stiffness, stability, or three-dimensional effect of specific areas, thereby improving the garment’s structure, quality, and durability. It is an "invisible yet crucial" component of garment construction.
Essentially, interfacing tape is a functional strip-shaped accessory. Unlike large-area interfacing (e.g., for collars or plackets), it focuses on localized and precise application—targeting narrow sections of garments (such as seam edges, pocket openings, hem curves, and cuffs). It is secured through methods like fusing, stitching, or ironing, addressing issues such as fabric softness, deformation, and seam wrinkliness, without compromising the overall flexibility and comfort of the garment.
Although considered an "accessory," interfacing tape directly impacts a garment’s silhouette, texture, and longevity. Selection should be based on fabric type (thickness/elasticity), application area (functional), and garment style (whether invisibility is desired). It is a key element in garment production where "details make all the difference."
