Buyer questions

Stretch Seam Engineering FAQs.

How is stretch seam engineering approved?+

The requirement is defined in the brief, built into the specification and prototype, then checked against agreed approval criteria before bulk.

Can this capability be used across several products?+

How is bulk consistency controlled?+

Approved materials, measurements, artwork, prototypes and checkpoints are retained against the production specification.

Does Athletic Rush claim certification automatically?+
