 Fabric Die Cutting

Die cutting fabric components will provide speed and precision that cannot be achieved through traditional cutting table technologies. In many cases, textile manufacturing workshops either cannot afford, or are not large enough, to set up their own state-of-the-art die cutting stations. To fill the gap there are a variety of custom fabric die cutting companies across the country. Contracting with one of these companies means that a single unique run or repetitive short run projects will be die cut on the most advanced equipment in the world. 

Even if the plan is to ultimately produce a product overseas, there are still compelling reasons to contract with a domestic die cutting service, such as:

• Executing a pilot project using expensive, limited run, materials because there is less risk for fabric loss and damage, easier communication and faster turnaround than with an overseas contractor.
• Needing expedited turnaround.
• A project that uses imported fabric. (Using a domestic partner in the conversion process may potentially allow the product to carry the desirable 'Made in USA' labeling.)
• A retail consumer product with a high price point where quality is paramount to the end-user.  

Many companies that perform fabric die cutting can also complete the sewing and packaging steps so that the entire product is produced under one roof. A domestic manufacturer can also be useful in helping to develop a product, either through suggestions for material types and sources or through working with a product development team on construction details and to create prototypes. 

Keeping these benefits in mind, consider hiring a custom fabric die cutter as an option when planning your next project.

Polyester Fabric Industrial Uses

What does polyester fabric have to offer to the industries?

While polyester fabric is a common fabric used all over the world, it is often overlooked. In fact, polyester fabric is crucial for many industrial products, especially automotive, aviation, bus, train and other vehicles.  It is extremely popular due to its wrinkle-resistant property and its ability to retain its shape, which is unlike any other mass-produced industrial textile.

 

Polyster fabric’s most common use is for industrial purposes, with about 40% of the market.  There are a wide array of these types of products.  The largest sub-segment is for transportation upholstery.  Of course, the automotive sector has massive demand as well as trains, plains, buses, trucks, construction vehicles, specialty vans and other transportation vehicles. Traditional polyester can be used in combination with other fabric blends such as filters, felts, fiberfill and non-wovens. The array of products is truly mind-boggling.

In addition, polyester is used for a number of other industrial uses.  Those include ropes and chords, sails, seat belts, fish netting, and laundry bags. Polyester fabric is even used in apparel production, but less than other fabrics like cotton.  It is used primarily for underwear, night wear, and top-weight fabrics. They are even used to make the cover of diapers.  

There are many mills in the country, however, if you are in the Detroit area, and looking for the best, Acme Mills can help. Based just outside of Detroit in Bloomfield Hills, Acme Mills is one of the largest providers of industrial fabrics, including polyester to auto companies around the world.  They also provide fabric to the furniture, truck, marine, aviation, mass transit and other industries.
