Bag fabric
PVC bag fabric is a PVC tarpaulin fabric supplied in rolls for bag manufacturers. The range is used for dry bags, travel bags, delivery bag outer shells, equipment bags and tool carriers, with a choice of colors, surface finishes and hand feels to suit different bag designs. PVC tarpaulin combines a reinforcing textile with PVC surfaces. The textile forms the fabric base, while the PVC formulation and surface construction influence appearance and hand feel. A material specification should describe both parts.
PVC BAG FABRIC SPECIFICATIONS:
| Brand | Item NO. | Weight | Base Fabric | Width |
 |
DLT-5830 | 500 gsm | 500D × 500D / 18 × 17 | 1.05–3.2 m |
| DLT-5831 | 600 gsm | 500D × 500D / 18 × 17 | 1.05–3.2 m | |
| DLT-5832 | 650 gsm | 500D × 500D / 18 × 17 | 1.05–3.2 m |
Base fabric is shown as warp × weft yarn size and weave density in threads per inch. The listed widths are a supply range; confirm usable width, tolerance and roll length with your order. All three share the same nominal yarn size and weave density. Weight alone does not establish tensile strength, tear resistance, thickness or bag load capacity. Compare material samples against your required hand feel, surface finish and technical specification.
PVC BAG FABRIC VS. CONVENTIONAL PU-COATED OXFORD FABRIC
| Feature | PVC Bag Fabric | PU-Coated Oxford Fabric |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | PVC / polyester / PVC | Woven fabric + PU backing |
| Weight | Heavier: 500–650gsm | Usually lighter |
| Waterproofing | Double-sided waterproof barrier; weldable watertight seams | Waterproofing varies by coating grade; sewn seams need sealing |
| Service Life | 5+ years with appropriate use and care | Varies by coating quality and use |
| Fabrication | Hot-air welding, HF welding or sewing | Mainly sewing; seams need sealing |
| Durability | Abrasion-resistant PVC protects both sides | Exposed weave; durability varies by yarn and coating |
| Cleaning | Wipe clean | Brush or wash |
| Feel | Substantial tarpaulin feel | Softer textile feel |
| Best For | Dry bags, tool bags, delivery bags | Backpacks, luggage, organizers |
HOW TO READ A BAG FABRIC SPECIFICATION
500D × 500D / 18 × 17 / 600 gsm describes three different properties: yarn size, weave density and finished fabric weight. These values help identify the material; model-specific test data describes its performance.
- Denier — the yarn
- Denier measures yarn mass per unit length. In this series, both warp and weft are specified as 500D.
- Weave density — the textile structure
- The 18 × 17 specification denotes 18 warp ends and 17 weft picks per inch, counted in their respective directions.
- GSM — the complete material
- GSM includes the textile and PVC. Our three nominal weights are 500, 600 and 650 gsm. GSM cannot be converted to a guaranteed thickness or tensile value.
- Width is a separate production choice.
- The available range is 1.05–3.2 m. Match usable width to your panel layout and confirm roll length and edge allowance before ordering.
CHOOSING YOUR BAG FABRIC
Compare samples for thickness, hand feel and foldability. Match usable roll width to your cutting layout, and check the technical datasheet for tensile, tear and peel strength.
FROM FABRIC TO FINISHED BAG
Dry bags: Plan welded seams and the roll-top or closure design.
Travel and tool bags: Match material feel, abrasion requirements and seam construction.
Delivery bags and boxes: Use as the outer shell, with insulation and lining selected for your design.
Processing: Hot-air welding, high-frequency welding or sewing. Test a sample on your production equipment to set the seam conditions.
CUSTOMIZATION & QUOTATION
Custom options: Color, thickness, roll width, flame retardancy, environmental compliance, anti-static, anti-mildew and antibacterial options.
Send for a quote: Bag type, target gsm or model, quantity per color, usable width, roll length, color reference, processing method, destination and required delivery date. Include any mandatory test standard.
Before bulk production: Approve the material sample, color and finish; check abrasion, color rubbing and the finished seam against your bag specification. Ask for sample arrangements, MOQ and production lead time with your inquiry.
