What this fabric is used for
Printed polyester is the workhorse of value-driven bedding programmes. The same base cloth can become a duvet cover shell, a sheet set, a cushion front or a quilted bedspread, so buyers can build a coordinated range from one construction.
- Bedding sets and duvet covers — 75–95 gsm plain weave, soft handfeel, print on the face side.
- Cushion covers and decorative shams — 90–120 gsm, stiffer handfeel for better shape retention.
- Quilt and comforter shells — 65–85 gsm lightweight base for quilting and ultrasonic bonding.
- Curtain panels in printed designs — 100–120 gsm with a denser construction to improve drape.
Because we weave the greige base cloth ourselves, the same print can be run on a plain, twill or brushed ground without changing supplier — useful when a buyer wants one design story across several price points.
Choosing a printing method
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| Rotary screen | Large repeat programmes with 4–12 colours. Lowest cost per metre at volume, strong colour depth, best choice for established bedding designs. |
| Pigment print | Sharp outlines and bright whites, short runs, and designs where a slightly drier handfeel is acceptable. |
| Disperse print | Soft handfeel and good wash fastness on polyester — the usual choice for bedding that will be washed frequently. |
| Digital print | Photographic or multi-colour artwork, sampling, and small runs where engraving screens is not economical. |
We recommend the method after seeing the artwork, the target retail price and the expected order quantity. If a design is likely to repeat season after season, screen printing usually pays back quickly; if it is a test order, digital keeps the entry cost low.
Colour control before bulk printing
Every print order goes through a strike-off. You approve the printed sample against your artwork or a physical reference under D65 lighting, and that approved sample becomes the bulk standard. Shade, registration, repeat matching and handfeel are checked again on the first bulk roll and at final inspection.
If you are matching an existing programme from another supplier, send us a production sample rather than a digital file — the substrate and the ink both affect the final colour, and matching against real fabric removes most of the back-and-forth.

Buyer questions
Printed Polyester Fabric: buyer questions
What is the minimum order for a custom print?
Standard production starts from 3,000 m per design. For a first order or a new development we can quote a lower trial quantity, usually with a small surcharge per metre, so you can test the market before committing to a full programme.
Can you print our own artwork?
Yes. Send vector artwork (AI, PDF) or a high-resolution file at 300 dpi or above, together with the repeat size and the number of colours. We check colour separations and confirm printability before quoting.
How do you handle colour matching?
For a new design we print a strike-off and send it for approval. For a repeat order we keep the approved standard on file and check each bulk run against it. Pantone references can be matched on the base cloth, with a small tolerance recorded on the spec sheet.
Is the fabric suitable for digital printing only, or also for rotary screen?
Both. The base cloth is the same; what changes is the printing route. We will recommend one based on your design, quantity and price target.
What width can you print?
Up to 280 cm full width on wide-width ranges, which lets a duvet cover be cut without a side seam. Narrower widths from 150 cm are available for cushion and craft applications.
Do you provide test reports?
Yes — colour fastness, shrinkage, weight and width test summaries can be issued with the shipment, and third-party testing (SGS, ITS, BV) can be arranged on request.
