100% Polyester Fabric:
We make bags with polyester fabrics where waterproofing, durability and strength is required within minimum cost. Polyester is not natural but using recycled polyester make a positive impact on the environment. Polyester is low cost, it is stronger than cotton, it doesn’t absorb water, it doesn’t get dirt easily, it doesn’t shrink and it is much more washable than natural fabrics.
PU, TPU and PVC coating/lamination on our polyester fabrics is used to make them waterproof. PVC is cheaper than PU however, PVC does have negative impact on environment. PU and TPU have much higher abrasion resistance than PVC.
Light weight polyester fabrics are usually used as lining inside the bag’s main compartment or inside the pocket. Thicker polyester fabrics are used as main body fabrics e.g., Zipper pouches, toiletry bags, backpacks etc.
We use 180T, 190T, 210T and 300D, 400D, 500D, 600D, 1000D and 1600D Polyester fabrics. In black, usually
they are available in stock and no MOQ is required when we make bags with these fabrics.
Silk Screen or digital printing is available for polyester bags.
Regular Polyester Fabrics are cheaper than recycled polyester fabrics.
