Evenbrede

Evenbrede is a Dutch term formed from even (level, uniform) and brede (width, breadth). In general usage it functions as an attributive adjective describing objects that have a uniform width along their length. The term is encountered primarily in Dutch-language contexts such as design, manufacturing, textiles, and construction, where a plain description of dimensions is sufficient rather than a formal specification.

In practice, evenbrede describes products or components whose cross-sectional width does not vary appreciably. For example, a fabric described as an evenbrede stof is a fabric sold or stored in a width that remains consistent along the roll; a band described as evenbrede suggests a band with a constant width across its length. The concept is informal and context-dependent, and exact tolerances or measurement methods are usually provided separately on technical drawings or product specifications.

Because evenbrede is an adjective rather than a technical standard, its exact meaning can vary by industry and vendor. It is common in everyday commerce and craft to use the term for convenience when uniformity of width is desirable, but buyers are advised to consult the accompanying specifications for precise tolerances.
