Apparatus, material and method of applying the same to garments in order to maintain a crease

Apparatus for applying a material along a crease line in a garment, said apparatus comprising:

• a cartridge with a cavity in which a quantity of the material is retained;
• and
• said cartridge having a dispensing aperture through which the material can be selectively dispensed from said cavity and one or more support members are provided on the cartridge and which contact with the garment, wherein at least one nib is provided to be selectively located on the dispensing aperture to allow the material to pass from the dispensing aperture and through the selectively located nib onto the garment wherein the nib is selectively located and adjustably positioned on the dispensing aperture with reference to the one or more support members so that the nib end is selectively positioned in a substantially non-pressure contact location with respect to the garment or at a spaced distance from the garment when the one or more support members are located on the crease line to maintain the nib end at a selected position with regard to the garment, the selected position of the nib end determined with respect to a weight of the fabric from which the garment is made and/or the particular material which is being dispensed onto the garment.
