Plain Polyester taffeta fabric for Suit Garment Bag Lining Fabric

Product Overview

This lightweight plain polyester taffeta is designed primarily for suit covers, garment-bag linings, apparel linings, bags, and luggage. The 100% polyester fabric is offered in a 38–60 gsm weight range and several listed density options, allowing buyers to select a construction according to the required balance of weight, coverage, handling, and durability.

The product images show a smooth, plain, solid-color surface with a light taffeta sheen. Custom colors are available, while plain-dyed and selected coated versions can be evaluated for different garment, bag, home-textile, and protective applications.

Product Specifications

Width confirmation: The inch and centimeter ranges stated on the source page are not exact equivalents at the lower endpoint. Buyers should confirm the required finished usable width in the quotation, approved sample, and purchase order.

Feature confirmation: Waterproof, flame-retardant, anti-static, tear-resistant, and shrink-resistant properties are listed on the source page, but the applicable construction, finish, test method, and performance result are not specified. These features should therefore be treated as specification-dependent rather than automatically included in every version.

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The fabric is made from 100% polyester and is supplied in the lightweight 38–60 gsm range. The listed 170T, 180T, 190T, and 210T options give buyers several construction choices for different lining and inner-layer requirements. Exact yarn denier and full weave construction are not stated and should be confirmed when these parameters are important to product development.

Its plain surface creates a clean, classic appearance that can coordinate with suits, garment covers, bags, luggage, and other finished products. The product photographs also show multiple solid-color possibilities.

The final hand feel, stiffness, surface slip, opacity, and drape may vary according to weight, density, dyeing, and coating. A plain-dyed version will not necessarily handle in the same way as a silver-, PA-, PU-, or PVC-coated version. Buyers should approve a physical sample made to the intended specification before bulk production.

Key Product Features

• Lightweight construction: The 38–60 gsm range helps limit bulk in garment covers, apparel linings, and bag interiors.
• Plain, versatile appearance: A smooth solid-color surface offers a clean lining or inner-layer presentation.
• Multiple density options: Listed options include 170T, 180T, 190T, and 210T, with other constructions subject to confirmation.
• Custom color development: Colors can be produced according to buyer requirements, with plain-color lab dips normally taking 3–5 days.
• Alternative finishing routes: Buyers may evaluate plain-dyed fabric or versions with silver, PA, PU, or PVC coating.
• Durability and maintenance: The source describes the polyester fabric as durable, resistant to everyday wear, and easy to clean. Final care and durability expectations should be confirmed for the selected coating, color, and end use.
• Dyeing and printing potential: The source describes the fabric as suitable for custom dyeing and printing. Printing method, colorfastness, artwork reproduction, and minimum quantity should be confirmed through a strike-off or approval sample.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Suit Covers and Garment-Bag Linings

Suit covers and garment bags are the primary applications identified for this polyester taffeta. Its lightweight construction helps keep the finished cover easy to handle, while the smooth surface can reduce friction against suits, jackets, dresses, and other hanging garments.

Plain-dyed versions are suitable when the main requirement is a clean inner lining or garment-cover body. If the project requires additional moisture protection or a more closed surface, buyers can evaluate an appropriate coated version. Waterproof performance should not be assumed from the fabric name alone; the coating type, coating coverage, seams, closures, and required test result must be specified.

Before bulk production, evaluate opacity, tear strength, seam strength, zipper attachment, handle reinforcement, and resistance to repeated folding.

Apparel Linings

At 38–60 gsm, the fabric can be evaluated for lightweight linings in suits, jackets, coats, uniforms, costumes, and selected bridal garments. Its plain appearance supports both matching and contrasting lining designs, while custom colors can help coordinate the lining with the shell fabric or brand palette.

Because hand feel and surface slip change with density and finish, buyers should test the selected version together with the outer fabric. Confirm comfort, static behavior, seam slippage, colorfastness, opacity, and care compatibility before using it against the body or inside frequently washed garments.

Bags, Luggage, Purses, and Totes

The product page identifies bags and luggage as important uses and also associates the fabric with purses and totes. It can be used for interior linings, pockets, dividers, dust covers, and other low-bulk components.

The appropriate density and finish depend on the expected abrasion, load, and moisture exposure. Lightweight versions may suit fashion bags and internal pockets, while demanding luggage programs may require additional reinforcement, backing, or a tested coated construction. Buyers should confirm tear strength, seam performance, abrasion resistance, coating adhesion, and color transfer using the intended bag construction.

Bedding, Home Textiles, Sofa Components, and Interlining

The source lists bedding, home textiles, and sofa-related applications. In these products, polyester taffeta may be considered for inner layers, backing, dust barriers, protective covers, concealed lining components, or lightweight interlining.

It should not automatically be treated as a heavy-duty upholstery face fabric. Suitability depends on the component’s location, expected abrasion, required air permeability, flammability rules, and cleaning method. Samples should be evaluated within the complete finished-product construction.

Umbrellas and Other Coated Applications

The product is also associated with umbrella use, and the available finishing routes include PA, PU, PVC, and silver coating. These options may support projects requiring a coated surface, but the source does not provide hydrostatic-pressure results, spray ratings, coating weight, or weathering data.

For umbrella or moisture-protection programs, specify the required water-resistance level, coating chemistry, colorfastness, UV exposure, flex resistance, and seam construction before sampling.

Decorative, Bridal, Sleepwear, and Toy Projects

The page tags also identify home décor, wedding and bridal, sleepwear, and toy applications. These uses should be treated as conditional because their requirements differ significantly.

For bridal or decorative products, confirm the desired sheen, drape, opacity, gathering, pleating, and support. For sleepwear or toy applications, evaluate skin contact, softness, breathability, chemical restrictions, flammability requirements, and applicable product-safety standards before approval.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

• Confirm the construction first: Select the required weight, density, width, color, and finish as one complete specification. A coating can change weight, stiffness, appearance, breathability, and sewing behavior.
• Approve the finished width: State whether the order requires inches or centimeters and confirm usable width after finishing.
• Control lightweight-fabric sewing: Conduct sewing trials to identify suitable needle size, thread, stitch density, and seam allowance. Lightweight woven fabrics may show puckering, fraying, or seam slippage if the construction is not optimized.
• Reinforce stress areas: Garment-bag handles, zipper ends, luggage seams, and loaded pockets may require reinforcement or an additional backing material.
• Test edge finishing: Evaluate overlocking, binding, heat cutting, or another suitable edge-control method according to the coating and finished-product design.
• Approve custom colors: Use the lab dip and approval sample to confirm shade, lighting conditions, metamerism, colorfastness, and compatibility with other components.
• Verify printing: If printing is required, request a strike-off and confirm the printing process, artwork scale, registration, penetration, hand feel, and colorfastness.
• Confirm care instructions: The source describes the fabric as easy to clean, but no washing, drying, or ironing instructions are stated. Approve care conditions for the exact color and coating.
• Define testing requirements: Depending on the application, buyers may need composition, weight, width, density, colorfastness, dimensional stability, tear strength, tensile strength, seam slippage, abrasion, water resistance, flammability, anti-static, or coating-adhesion testing. Required methods and acceptance limits should be provided before quotation.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Custom colors are available according to buyer requirements. The source also states that OEM service and logo customization may be provided depending on the request. Buyers should confirm whether branding is required on the fabric, packaging, roll labels, or finished product, as well as the proposed printing or labeling method.

Plain-color lab dips normally take 3–5 days, while approval samples normally take 7–10 days. The listed bulk-production lead time is 3–20 days, but the actual schedule may vary with quantity, density, color approval, coating, testing, packing, and production-line availability.

The MOQ is 2,000 meters per color. Standard packing options are 50, 100, or 200 meters per roll, and packing details can be customized. The page lists typical loading quantities of approximately 200,000 meters per 20GP and 380,000 meters per 40GP. Actual loading should be reconfirmed because roll length, width, weight, coating, core size, and packing method can affect container capacity.

The source lists a monthly production capacity of more than 3 million meters and daily output of up to 150,000 meters.

Pricing and Payment

Pricing is determined by the selected quality or specification and the order quantity. The source states that online pricing is divided into three quantity tiers, with more favorable pricing available for larger quantities.

The page contains two descriptions of the payment schedule for large orders:

• The product description states 30% by T/T in advance and 70% upon receipt of the copy of the bill of lading.
• The general payment section states that first-time clients normally pay 30% down and 70% before shipping by T/T.

Because these payment triggers differ, the final balance schedule should be confirmed in the quotation and pro forma invoice. For repeat clients, L/C may be considered, and other payment terms may be negotiable. The sample-payment area displays Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.

Available shipping methods shown on the page include express delivery and sea freight.
