• For making seamless activewear, sportswear and seamless functional garments requires the use of cutting-edge Italian Santoni or other brand circular knitting machines, which complete whole garments based on preprogrammed computer commands that allow for different stitching patterns.
• The product is a finished or semi-finished garment with no side seams.
• Seamless technology has transformed the overall worldwide production process, helping apparel firms react quicker to trends because the garments do not have to be cut and sewn. This technology can directly produce finished products and lessens the traditional process of production. This leads to savings of production costs of up to 40% compared to customary knitting.
• With our focus on innovation and quality, we are constantly developing new seamless activewear, and sportswear styles to meet customers' demands.
• Development of new fibres and knitting adaptation are continually evolving. New advancements coming from fibre producers and yarn spinners will continue to provide innovation from the supplier side.
• Based on the structure of the knit, the patterns and construction of the garment cannot be matched with any other non-seamless garment and the ability to combine textures and levels of compression opens up endless possibilities for coloured patterns, jacquards, ribbing and detailing.
• There are endless design possibilities with seamless technology, with the variety of different stitches that can be achieved within a single garment, for example, a jersey knit can be placed side-by-side with a mesh knit, a rib knit, a jacquard knit. This is impossible to achieve with any other type of knitting process.
• The features of seamless technology benefit the retail store and ultimately the end consumer, who will notice a difference once they try on a seamless garment. Once the consumer wears it, it offers a high-repeat purchase ratio. Consumers are only beginning to understand the benefits of seamless technology.
• Because of the versatile nature of seamless technology, there are infinite opportunities in the market, both locally and internationally. The seamless concept can be applied to sportswear, activewear, underwear, swimwear, leisurewear, and shapewear.
• Unlike a regular knitting machine, which produces yards of the same pattern that need to be cut and sewn, the seamless machines produce individual garments from yarn that is fed into the machine-Retails for about 10-15 per cent more, because of the specialized equipment involved and the high demand for the such limited availability of machinery.
• This benefit is worthy of a price increase, meaning certain parts of the knitting/apparel category such as the intimate, activewear market can be justified due to the above-listed benefits since some of its features cannot be accomplished in conventional circular knitting or cut & sew method.
• The seamless activewear, sportswear and other functional garments are precisely fitted to the body, producing a smoother, clean look.
• Seamless activewear, sportswear and other functional garments conform smoothly to your individual shape and produce fewer lines under clothes to allow for a more streamlined silhouette.
• The softness of seamless knitwear combined with the use of antimicrobial and hydrophilic yarns create the best features for activewear, sportswear and other functional garments.
• Wearers love seamless activewear, sportswear and functional garments because they are forgiving, non-restrictive and not binding. The lack of seams provides for improved comfort as the body moves.
• With an increasing demand by consumers for more comfortable and better-Iooking clothing. Seams tend to pucker up, and tags chafe against the skin. Seamless garments feature knitted shaping to eliminate bulky elastics and provide enhanced comfort.
• Our main seamless products are workout training yoga leggings, sports bras and other activewear and sportswear, all of which are highly elastic, fine to very fine fabric, made of micro-fibres, and required to be very extensible and soft; therefore adding to comfort.
• Besides offering higher comfort and better fit to consumers by eliminating seams, the innovative technique creates entire garments with minimal intervention of cutting and sewing processes leading to substantial savings in cost and time, higher productivity, quick response, and just-in-time production.
• Seamless activewear, sportswear and other functional clothing have no waistband failures, no waistband or side seam failures and are more durable due to the high proportion of manufactured fibres such as nylon.
• The broad technical application of selective engagement and disengagement can be adopted sensibly to produce a ready-to-use customized garment thereby saving the wastage of cloth.
• Seamless activewear, sportswear and other supporting clothing take 30 per cent to 40 per cent less time to make than cut-and-sew versions as it minimizes the traditional labour-intensive steps of cutting and sewing.
