There are two main types of webbing: woven webbing and knitted webbing. The cotton-like webbing, especially the jacquard webbing, is somewhat similar to the cloth labeling process, but the cloth labeling warp is fixed, and the pattern is expressed by the weft; while the basic weft of the webbing is fixed, and the pattern is expressed by the warp, using a small machine. , production threading and adjustment of the machine can take a long time and are relatively inefficient.

Cotton-like webbing is used in various industrial sectors such as clothing, shoe materials, luggage, industry, agriculture, military supplies, and transportation. In the 1930s, the imitation cotton webbing was produced by hand workshops, and the raw materials were cotton thread and hemp thread.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the raw materials for webbing have gradually developed to nylon, vinylon, polyester, polypropylene, spandex, viscose, etc., forming three major technologies of weaving, knitting, and knitting. The fabric structure includes plain weave, twill, satin, jacquard, Bilayer, multilayer, tubular and joint tissue.
