Trimming manufacturer Regine/IQtrim will be presenting an innovative array of high performance materials at Performance Days (November 19-21, 2013). The German company, which specialises in woven elastics and ribbons, transfer and screen printing for more than 45 years, has expanded its range of gripper and retroreflective materials.

Regine/IQtrim’s retroreflective range, marketed under the “IQseenTM  - clearly visible” brand and motto, presents a wide variety of high-impact and surprise effects. The company has expanded the palette of multi-coloured patterns and realistic photoprints, first introduced at Performance Days in May 2013, and which are now available on tapes and pipings. Endless colour combinations available, making it possible for brands to create infinite patterns and graphics that pair sharp aesthetics with the safety of high visibility.

See-through “Gripper” transfers are another new item in the Regine range. The company has developed an innovative transfer printing process by which the transparent Gripper material makes it possible to place the non-slip detail very precisely on the garment and combine it with the company’s logo or any exclusive design.

Hemlines can now also be adorned with “tech” or “style” features thanks to another new development at Regine. The hem elastics, which are laminated to elastic fabrics for extra durability, can now be printed with any motif and coated with silicone non-slip features.

These highly innovative developments are part of the company’s IQperformTM range of high performance trims and which all share the same goal: to add new functions to garments.
