Controlling Quality from the Fiber Up
The foundation of every great garment is its fabric. At DALI Enterprise, we don't merely purchase fabrics from external suppliers — we manufacture them ourselves. This vertical integration into textile production is one of the defining characteristics that separates DALI from conventional garment factories and enables us to deliver the consistency, quality, and customization that premium brands require.
Our in-house fabric factory operates 105 knitting machines producing a comprehensive range of knitted constructions. Adjacent to the fabric production, our dedicated elastic tape factory produces customized elastics to precise specifications. Combined with our on-site dyeing and finishing capabilities, this creates a fully self-contained textile production ecosystem.

Finishing treatments include softening, moisture-wicking, antibacterial, anti-odor, and UV-protection applications. Custom finishes can be developed for specific performance requirements.
Elastic Tape Manufacturing
Elastic components are critical to garment performance, particularly in underwear, babywear, and activewear where stretch and recovery directly impact comfort and fit. DALI's dedicated elastic tape factory produces all elastic components in-house, eliminating the quality variability that comes from external sourcing.
Elastic Types
- Woven Elastic — Strong, durable, minimal stretch loss. Ideal for waistbands and heavy-duty applications.
- Knitted Elastic — Soft, comfortable, good stretch recovery. Preferred for direct-skin contact applications.
- Braided Elastic — Narrow widths, strong grip. Used for casings and sleeve hems.
- Fold-Over Elastic (FOE) — Satin or matte finish for binding edges. Popular in lingerie and athletic wear.
- Jacquard Elastic — Custom woven patterns and logos for branded waistbands.
- Silicone-Backed Elastic — Grip elastic for non-slip applications in swimwear and sportswear.
Custom Fabric Development
Beyond our standard fabric library, DALI offers complete custom fabric development services. Working from your specifications or design brief, our R&D team can develop unique textile constructions tailored to your exact requirements for weight, hand-feel, stretch, recovery, color, and performance characteristics.
The custom development process typically involves: specification review, lab sample knitting, hand-feel evaluation, color lab-dip approval, production sample knitting, quality testing, and final approval before bulk production.
