Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9720479A1] The present invention provides an improved material and method for forming a tunnel (14) in a product (10) such as a garment or other textile product, through which a drawstring (16) can be operated. The present invention avoids the laborious and potentially damaging process of sewing-in a drawstring tunnel and replaces it with a pre-formed tape (30) that is adhered in place to form the tunnel. The tape can be formed and attached through a variety of methods.
