What all methods of textile production have in common are one-dimensional threads merged into two-dimensional threads. The palette of textiles range from cloth, e. g. for the apparel industry, to packing and insulating material and to automobile lining. If the material is not made of pure textile raw material, but, instead, includes other raw materials as well, the textile surface structure and its apprearance decide whether a product is regarded as textile.
 
With DIENES slitting tools, the material edges are cut and the material webs are separated at any desired width .

The custom-made DIENES edge trim systems are best suited for trimming the edges of textile material.
