Glossary term
Inline lamination
A construction method where textile lamination happens during the manufacturing sequence, not as a separate pre-process.
Definition
Traditional garment construction relies on pre-laminated fabric rolls. Inline lamination integrates the laminate step into garment assembly.
This approach opens new design options and places the seam construction step where the laminate is formed — not patched afterwards.
Why it matters to DSEAMS
Inline lamination is central to Cohesive Systems LLC — the patented process that allows textile lamination during manufacturing, increasing membrane-film barrier quality and expanding design options.
