We've
tested a wide variety of fabrics and stock a large
assortment, so we can advise you on the best one
for your particular job requirements. We can also
source specialist fabrics such as gaming cloths
for casino tables, upon request. We recommend
the highest polyester content for truly vibrant
reproduction, but poly-cotton can also be used
in certain cases. Cotton cannot be printed with
this process.
If you have a specific fabric you
would like to use, we will test it free of charge
and advise you of its suitability.
The following table outlines the
pros and cons of some more commonly used fabrics.
Many other performance fabrics are available for
the production of sports and fashion garments.
So please give us a call if you'd like more information.
