Polyester Spandex cord-set (96% Poly/4% Spandex) | 220 GSM | VIAR STUDIO

Sourcing consistent stretch apparels can be a challenge for apparel brands, inadequate spandex blending leads to sagging, while incorrect GSM results in sheer or stiff garments. VIAR STUDIO’s 220 GSM Poly-Spandex is engineered specifically to eliminate these risks for international garment brands and private-label programs. Manufactured in Surat, India under strict ISO-certified quality and environmental standards, this fabric is an export-ready staple for the modern fashion supply chain.

This is a carefully balanced 96% polyester and 4% spandex blended fabric, constructed at a versatile 220 GSM weight. The high polyester content ensures that the fabric retains its color vibrantly wash after wash, resists wrinkling, and maintains structural integrity. The 4% spandex addition transforms the rigid polyester into a responsive material that moves with the wearer and recovers its original shape perfectly, preventing "bagging" at the knees or elbows in finished garments.

this specific blend and weight excel in creating garments that require both a beautiful, fluid drape (like wide-leg trousers) and form-fitting comfort (like fitted camisoles). The 220 GSM weight sits in the "goldilocks" zone - heavy enough to provide full opacity and a premium drape, but light enough to remain breathable and comfortable.

Why source this from VIAR instead of an unverified supplier - 

Directly importing stretch apparels from unverified suppliers often leads to inconsistencies in GSM and spandex distribution, ruining garment runs. VIAR removes that risk. Backed by the Shree Gopinathji Group, VIAR’s manufacturing is ISO 9001 (Quality Management) certified, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency. Furthermore, VIAR provides a single, reliable point of contact for custom finishing, specification matching, and dependable lead times.

For European and North American apparel buyers who require documented supply-chain sustainability and ethical manufacturing disclosures from their vendors, VIAR provides complete transparency and audit-ready compliance.

Because VIAR is an officially FIEO-registered exporter, the commercial team effortlessly handles the necessary customs documentation (commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin) required for smooth logistics to ports in North America, the EU, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Frequently asked questions - 

Is 220 GSM suitable for pants and trousers?

Yes, 220 GSM is an optimal mid-weight for trousers. It provides enough weight to hang beautifully and offer complete coverage, while the 4% spandex allows for comfortable movement.

Can VIAR match my brand's seasonal color palette?

Yes. Through the in-house ViarLabs R&D function, we can take a physical swatch or Pantone reference and develop a custom-dyed match for your private-label program, subject to MOQ.  

Does the fabric shrink after washing?

Because the composition is predominantly polyester, shrinkage is minimal compared to cotton blends, and the spandex ensures the garment retains its intended shape over its lifespan.

What is the minimum order quantity for international shipping?

Our standard bulk export MOQ is 100 metres. However, sample pieces can be requested for prototyping, stretch testing, and hand-feel approval prior to placing a bulk order.
