主权项

1. An extruded seam tape useable to reinforce a seam comprising a first fabric surface and an adjacent second fabric surface, the extruded seam tape comprising:
an inner-facing planar surface that engages both the first fabric surface and the second fabric surface of the seam; and an outer-facing surface opposite the inner-facing planar surface, the outer-facing surface being substantially non-planar with respect to the inner-facing planar surface along a length of the extruded seam tape, the outer-facing surface structurally reinforcing the seam.
