Technical Knitting Advantages

FORM FITTING
Technical knit coverings are highly customizable and engineered to accommodate even the most complex designs—while enhancing ergonomics, performance, and comfort.
EASY ASSEMBLY
Assembly and attachment aids can be engineered directly into the components to improve quality and reduce labor costs. Features like drawstrings, Velcro-like loops, zippers, and clips can expedite the manufacturing process and reduce repetitive injuries among assemblers. Logos, part numbers, and assembly orientation marks are often knitted directly into our components.
MADE TO ORDER
For convenience and speed, no textile can compete with technical knits. Our components are made-to-order with low minimum quantities and delivered on time and ready-to-assemble, reducing processing time and labor costs for product manufacturers.
COMPELLING AESTHETICS
Knit fabrics have a range and nuance that far exceeds the rather technical perception with which they are most commonly associated. From color to texture, jacquard patterns, quilt geometry to mesh structures, technical knits can be as elegant, sophisticated, or casual as your application requires.
SUSTAINABILITY
The versatility of technical knits is unsurpassed by conventional woven roll goods fabric that require labor intensive and costly application processes. Knit components are custom-made and precisely designed to fit your product's unique shape and size. This eliminates the waste associated with typical cut and sew processes, allowing for full material usage and minimizing the impact on the environment.

Sustainability

We offer various recycled yarn innovations that reduce environmental impact:

  • 100% post-consumer recycled polyester
  • CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES® -
    100% post-consumer recycled
    biodegradable* polyester
  • CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES® -
    100% post-consumer recycled polyester
    with ocean waste

Zero Waste

Our knitted components are custom made to the precise shape and size required, which eliminates textile waste and contributes to lower impact, zero-waste product manufacturing practices.

 

Made in the USA

Knitted in the USA, which in addition to greater responsiveness, directly reduces the carbon footprint when compared to components coming from abroad.

 

Replacement

Knit parts can also be engineered for ease of removal and selective replacement, which can extend the life of the end use product and also allow for ease of recycling or repurposing of the fabric.

Innovation Without Compromise

We introduced the industry's first post-consumer recycled biodegradable*
knit fabric.

Combined with our zero-waste technical knitting capabilities, we are changing the way fabric coverings are sourced, applied and disposed of at the end of their
useful life.

Teknit's Biodegradable* CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES® knit components help to keep plastic out of landfills without compromising performance, design or the environment.

Our innovations help product manufacturers stand apart from their competitors while turning their sustainability commitments into new business opportunities.

 

*Rate and extent of biodegradation into elements found in nature is 91% after 1,278 days under ASTM D5511 (Anaerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under High Solids Anaerrobic Digestion Conditiions). The test was done with the same component (PET) polyester and biocatalyst additive. No evidence of further degradation.
