A. FABRIC,he fabrics we usually used are ,
1. cotton fabric, such as plain
fabric, ( 110g/sqm ,140g/sqm, 180g/sqm), twill fabric (200g/sqm),
canvas fabric
(8oz, 10oz,
12oz, 1oz=28.35g), of course sometimes the other specials will be
used in line with the requirement
of clients,
For example, organic cotton fabric, bamboo fabric etc, and for
organic cotton bag, the most important
is to get the
certificate of organic. Regarding the certificate, the best is for
organic bag, the second choose is for
organic
fabric, the third is for organic yarn, and then is for organic
cotton. We can dye almost every color by the
requirement
of customer, but the weight of per sqm will be down by about 12%.
For general fabric in natural
color, the
MOQ of over 5000pcs is available, but for the dyed one, MOQ must be
over 10000pcs. Otherwise, for
the special
fabric like organic and bamboo, MOQ is over 20000pcs even it is in
natural color.
2. Non woven fabric , the composition
is polypropylene, there usually are spunbond nonwoven, meltblown
nonwoven and needle nonwoven, but what is used to be shopping bag is
spunbond nonwoven fabric, the
nonwoven fabric factory can make all kinds of weight whose per sqm
is from 10g to 150g , and the most
suitable to be shopping bag is 70g or 80g. We usually keep some
popular color in our stock, if customer can
choose
in those colors, MOQ is ok for over 5000pcs, however, for some of
special color out of our stock, we
could
do, but MOQ should be over 20000pcs.
3. Polyester, the composition of most
polyester is terylene, it will be coated PA layer or PU, PVC layer
as per
requirement of customers, The fabric will be softer when coated with
PU, but harder and thicker with PVC,
besides, if the fabric is coated with PA layer, it will be softer
than with PVC but harder than with PU, however, it
will be
cheaper than the two others.
4. Others, we also will adopt PET
materials, which are mainly made from the recycled plastic bottles,
there are two
kinds
of forms it looks like, one is similar to nonwoven fabric, another
is like cotton fabric with fiber. All of them
are
more expensive than nonwoven and cotton fabric, but the “KEY” is
that they are recycled materials.
Of course we also will use other
materials as requirement of customer.
B. Imprinting,
1. In the line of shopping bag, the
popular imprinting are, water ink screen, plastisol screen, heat
transfer printing
heat
sublimation printing.
2. If our fabric is in nature color
or is bleached cotton fabric, we usually adopt water ink screen, if
the fabric is dyed
cotton or
nonwoven fabric, we usually use plastisol screen, both of those
screen printing can’t express some
of exact
printing with change color steadily as per photos. For the photos
printing, we have to use heat transfer
printing or
heat sublimation printing, but the expensive cost stopped some of
customer to use them,
3. Strictly speaking, only sublimation
printing can be washed because their ink has gone into the fiber of
fabric,
however, the
fabric must be Polyester or T/C fabric (mixture of polyester and
cotton), can’t be pure cotton or
nonwoven
fabric. For screen printing, it also can be washed but customer
should request that in advance
because we
have to process it specially. |
