SC-2016 Woven Fusible Interlining (Buckram) — 202 GSM Medium Hard Touch

SC-2016 woven fusible interlining is a 202 GSM, 100% cotton-base buckram developed for garments that need dependable structure without the excessively rigid hand of a maximum-hard grade. Its 20 × 20 / 60 × 60 woven construction, HDPE fusible coating and medium hard touch make it a practical choice for shirt collars, kurta Ban/Patti, uniform components, cuffs, plackets and selected waistband applications.

Made by Sadiq Interlinings in Gujranwala, Pakistan, SC-2016 sits between soft-flexible interlinings and very firm hard-touch grades. It provides a substantial 202 GSM body while still allowing a cleaner fold and a more natural finished hand. Buyers can specify 44-inch or 60-inch width and White, Off-White or Black according to confirmed production availability.

SC-2016 Buckram in Pakistan: Local and International Terminology

In Pakistan’s tailoring, uniform and garment-manufacturing trade, woven fusible interlining is commonly called buckram or bukram. Buyers may also ask for collar buckram, fusing buckram, fusible buckram, Ban Patti buckram, collar Patti interlining or shirt collar buckram. For SC-2016, these terms refer to the same 202 GSM cotton-base product family when the requirement is a woven, heat-fusible and medium-hard garment component.

International sourcing teams more often search for 202 GSM woven fusible interlining, 100% cotton collar interlining, medium hard collar interlining or HDPE coated cotton interlining. SC-2016 matches that technical buying language: it is woven from a 100% cotton base, coated with HDPE adhesive and designed to add controlled structure after heat, pressure and dwell time are correctly validated.

SC-2016 should not be confused with non-woven fusible interfacing, stretch interlining or non-fusible craft and bookbinding buckram. Those materials have different constructions, adhesive systems and end uses. For garment production, confirm the article code, GSM, hand feel, width, colour, coating and intended component rather than ordering on the word “buckram” alone.

SC-2016 Technical Data Sheet

Production note: Fusing values are starting guidance, not a universal recipe. Face fabric composition, dyes, finishing chemistry, moisture, press type and line speed can change the ideal setting. Approve a representative fused sample before bulk cutting or production.

What Medium Hard Touch Means in a Finished Garment

“Medium hard touch” describes the balance between shape retention and flexibility after fusing. SC-2016 is intended to add clear body and a stable garment profile, while avoiding the board-like feel that may result when a maximum-hard interlining is used on a medium-weight shell fabric. The 202 GSM base contributes substance; the cotton weave allows the component to fold and sew in a controlled way; and the HDPE coating bonds the interlining to a compatible face fabric under suitable heat, pressure and dwell time.

This balance is useful when a collar must stand cleanly but still roll or fold naturally, or when a Ban/Patti needs definition without becoming uncomfortable around the neck. It can also help uniform and institutional garments maintain a consistent appearance through repeated handling, provided the interlining, face fabric and fusing process are tested as a system.

Recommended Applications for SC-2016

Formal and Semi-Formal Shirt Collars

SC-2016 supports collar stands, points and fold lines where a manufacturer wants a firm, substantial profile with controlled flexibility. It is particularly relevant to mid-weight woven shirtings. For very fine or lightweight fabrics, a lighter trial grade may reduce the risk of strike-back, excessive bulk or an overly stiff hand.

Kurta Ban, Patti and Structured Ethnic Wear

The 202 GSM medium hard construction is well suited to Ban collars, Patti components and selected front facings in kurtas and traditional garments. It can create a defined neckline and support embroidery or repeated opening and closing, while the medium-hard finish remains more wearable than a maximum-rigid alternative.

School, Corporate and Institutional Uniforms

Uniform collars, cuffs and plackets need repeatable shape and efficient production handling. SC-2016 can be evaluated for these components where the specification calls for a structured woven interlining. Bulk approval should include washing, pressing, seam and appearance checks on the actual uniform fabric.

Cuffs, Plackets and Small Structured Components

For shirt cuffs and button plackets, SC-2016 adds body around buttonholes, buttons and topstitching. It may also suit selected pocket flaps and facings where a medium-firm result is required. Pattern engineers should account for seam allowance bulk and the grain direction of both the face fabric and interlining.

Trouser Waistbands and Facings

SC-2016 may be tested in non-stretch woven waistbands and facings that require a substantial cotton buckram. It is not the default choice for stretch waistbands or soft, comfort-led constructions; those usually need a more flexible or purpose-designed interlining.

Why Manufacturers Select SC-2016

Substantial 202 GSM Cotton Base

The high fabric weight gives collar and garment components clear body, while the 20 × 20 / 60 × 60 woven construction supports stable cutting, folding and sewing. A woven base also makes grain direction important: align the interlining consistently with the component pattern for repeatable performance.

Balanced Medium-Hard Hand

SC-2016 is designed for buyers who find softer grades under-structured but do not want the maximum stiffness of a hard-touch specification. Its balanced hand makes it useful across formal, semi-formal and traditional garment programs.

HDPE Fusible Coating

The HDPE coating is designed to activate within the stated fusing range and form an even bond on compatible fabrics. Correct pressure and dwell time are as important as temperature: insufficient settings can create weak adhesion, while excessive settings can affect handle, colour or surface appearance.

Two Working Widths and Three Core Colours

The 60-inch option supports efficient marker planning for wider production, while 44-inch width can suit established cutting layouts and narrower consumption plans. White, Off-White and Black allow closer colour coordination with light, natural and dark face fabrics. Final colour and width availability should be confirmed when requesting a quotation.

B2B Sampling and Technical Selection Support

Sadiq Interlinings can review the intended face fabric, garment component, required touch, care method and fusing equipment before recommending a trial. For repeat programs, send a representative shell-fabric cutting so the selected grade and fusing recipe can be assessed together.

SC-2016 vs SC-2013 vs SC-2017

These three adjacent woven grades share a cotton construction and HDPE coating, but differ in weight, finish and preferred use. The table provides a practical starting comparison; final selection should be based on a fused sample.

Choose SC-2016 when the garment needs the highest weight of these three with a medium-hard finished hand. Consider SC-2013 when maximum collar rigidity is the priority, or SC-2017 when a slightly lower weight and its finish profile better match the face fabric.

SC-2016 Fusing Guide

1. Condition materials: keep face fabric and interlining in the production environment before testing.
2. Check adhesive direction: place the coated side against the wrong side of the shell fabric.
3. Run a representative sample: include actual dyes, finishes, seams and component shape wherever possible.
4. Cool before judging: do not test peel strength while the adhesive is still hot.
5. Inspect performance: check edge lift, bubbles, strike-back, shade change, shrinkage, hand feel and appearance after the intended wash or dry-clean process.
6. Record the approved recipe: document temperature, pressure, dwell time, line speed and machine for production control.

Press type matters: settings on a continuous fusing press do not translate directly to a hand iron or flat press. Establish and document a separate approved method for each machine.
