Continuous Steel Spiral Boning, 1/4"-wide (6mm) - First Quality
Need custom bone sizes? Need lots of bones in many sizes?
Continuous boning by-the-roll can often be much more economical than
pre-sized and pre-tipped bones. Just cut to length and add the tips yourself.
Although usually sold by the pound, we also offer precut lengths.
A 1 pound roll = approx 50 feet or 16.67 yards
Item# BON-CT - specify Roll-Size or Number of Pounds when ordering
By The Roll   By The Pound
12-yard roll (approx 0.72 lb) $5.25   1 to 5 pounds $7.00 per pound
25-yard roll (approx 1.5 lb) $10.50   6 to 25 pounds $6.00 per pound
50-yard roll (approx 3 lb) $21.00   26 pounds or more $4.75 per pound




Boning Tips
Boning Tips, for 1/4"-wide (6mm) Steel Spiral Boning
Working with continuous boning, or cutting standard bones to off-sizes?
You need to 'tip' them so they don't cut the fabric (or the dancer!).
Tips are U-shaped pieces of steel crimped to the bone ends with pliers.
1 pound = about 23 gross or about 3300 pieces
Item# BONTIP - specify quantity when ordering
per Dozen per 1/2-Gross per Gross per Pound
$1.40 $4.85 $6.25 $40.00



Rigilene Rigelene
A thin and flexible woven polyester boning, Rigelene is a time-saving substitute for spiral-steel bones. It is easily cut-to-fit to the lengths you need, and can be sewn directly to the bodice or corset fabric, or inserted into a bone casing. Available by the yard or roll.
