A flexible belt comprising a flexible support layer, at least one coating comprising a film forming polymer, and a seam having a bent shape extending from one edge of the belt to the opposite edge of the belt. The flexible electrostatographic imaging belt may be fabricated by providing a sheet having two parallel sides and two opposite ends having matching bent profiles, the sheet having a first major exterior surface opposite and parallel to a second major exterior surface, overlapping an edge of the first major exterior surface adjacent one of the ends onto an edge of the second major exterior surface adjacent the other one of the ends to form a overlapped joint in which the bent profiles of the opposite ends match, and permanently securing the ends to each other to form a seam having a bent shape. This seamed flexible electrostatographic imaging belt may be used in an electrostatographic imaging process.
