Support construction
Encapsulation or compression for a high support sports bra
A high impact sports bra supports the bust in one of two ways, or a mix of both. Choose the construction for the activity you design for, and describe it on a reference garment or in a tech pack.
For lighter-support, strappy, longline and backless styles, see the private label sports bra manufacturer page.
- 01
Encapsulation
Each cup is shaped separately, with molded or sewn cups that hold the bust apart. Specify the cup shape, seam placement and any padding or lining.
- 02
Compression
The bra presses the bust against the chest with a firm, stretch fabric and a closer fit. Specify the fabric stretch and the number of layers.
- 03
Combined construction
Many high support designs use shaped cups inside a compression shell. Describe which part of the support you expect from each.
Straps and closures
Adjustable straps, hook-and-eye and zip closures
Adjustable straps let the wearer set the fit, and a hook-and-eye or zip closure changes how the bra goes on and how the underband holds. Mark the strap width, adjuster type and closure position on your reference.

Sample review
High impact sports bra sampling, MOQ and lead time
Support is reviewed on the sample against the activity you design for. We do not state a support rating or a lab test result for a style. Try the sample in the movements your customer will make, then check that the band stays down, the straps do not slip or dig in, and the cups hold their shape. Record changes against the sample and approve the written specification with it.
