Zhejiang Minglong New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has manufactured flexible PVC roll materials in Tongxiang, Zhejiang since 2005, and we supply flex banner material manufacturer output from our own calendering, lamination and coating lines rather than bought-in film. The range covers frontlit and backlit flex banner, blockout banner, PVC tarpaulin, knife-coated technical fabric, mesh, reflective banner, PVC film, self adhesive vinyl and one way vision. Printers, signage fabricators, tent and awning workshops, and industrial cover converters take our material in roll form, with widths, colours and surface treatments built around a confirmed working specification.
In-House Calendering, Lamination and Coating
Production begins at the calender. Two Taiwan-made PVC calenders with 4 m and 2.88 m working widths feed five Taiwan-made laminators, four further lamination machines and two coating lines, one of them configured for knife coating. Because the film, the coating paste and the laminate are all made inside the plant, base sheet, adhesive layer and top surface are controlled as one process instead of being reconciled between outside suppliers.
- Annual output of 30,000 tons of PVC laminated film and approximately 85 million square metres of finished frontlit and backlit fabric for billboards.
- Process route: feeding, caulking, laminating, coating, slitting and packaging.
- Standard minimum order quantity of 2,500 metres, with custom widths, colours and surface treatments available above that volume.
- Jiaxing Municipal High-tech Research and Development Center supporting formulation work and product development.
Our Flex Banner Material Range
We organise the range by construction and by the job the roll has to do, so that a print shop, a tent maker and a truck-cover converter each receive material matched to their own processing route.
Flex Banner
Laminated PVC flex for UV, solvent, eco-solvent and screen printing is the core of our output. Hot/cold laminated frontlit and backlit grades carry a bright white surface, stable ink absorption and high tensile strength for billboard and wide-format digital printing; blockout flex uses an opaque centre so graphics read correctly from both faces. Our PVC flex banner grades are supplied in roll widths matched to printer and finishing table capacity.
PVC Tarpaulin Material
Our PVC tarpaulin material covers the heavier end of the plant output, from striped PE and PVC sheeting to coated and laminated fabrics used as primary structure or as cover over an existing frame.
- Laminated tarpaulin: 840D, 1000D and 1300D polyester base, PVC on both faces, finished widths from 1.02 m to 3.20 m, specified for tensile strength, tear strength and adhesion.
- Coated tarpaulin: heavy-duty grades and truck cover, tent and boat fabric where water resistance and abrasion life drive the specification.
- Knife-coated fabric: knife-coated membrane material, retractable awning fabric, industrial covering, water hose base fabric and outdoor tent fabric produced on dedicated coating lines.
- Stripes tarpaulin: three-colour, four-colour and multi-colour striped rolls for cargo, agricultural and general cover work.
Mesh, Reflective, Film and Adhesive Products
Open construction and adhesive materials complete the range. Our mesh banner material is built on a 1000 x 1000D base with a PVC liner and lets air and light pass through for fence and scaffold wraps. Reflective banner combines a reflective vinyl face with a banner base for night-visible signage, while PVC film (0.15–0.2 mm), digital printing vinyl and one way vision serve packaging, label and storefront glass applications.

Print, Finishing and Installation Fit
Behaviour on press depends on coating weight and surface energy as much as on the base fabric. Eco-solvent and solvent inks need a coating that accepts ink without strike-through, UV and latex need a surface that cures evenly, and screen printing needs enough dimensional stability to hold registration across a long run. We confirm the ink system before the specification is frozen and can supply trial rolls for press approval.
- Roll widths aligned to printer and finishing table capacity, with trimmed edges for welding and hemming.
- Backlit grades assessed for even light diffusion so light boxes do not show hot spots.
- Blockout construction for double-sided hanging banners where rear light must not bleed through.
- Mesh selected where wind load matters on scaffold and fence wraps; reflective grades for unlit locations.
For installation, we work to the realities of the end assembly: seam welding and hemming allowance, eyelet spacing, tension across large frames, and the handling of cold material on site. One way vision is quoted with a transparency ratio chosen for the glass area and the viewing distance rather than by price alone.
Specifications We Confirm Before Production
- Base fabric: denier and thread count for woven-supported products.
- Weight: base fabric g/m² and total finished weight.
- Dimensions: finished roll width within calender capacity, core diameter and roll length.
- Surface: gloss level, print side, blocking resistance and slip behaviour during converting.
- Optics: standard white, blockout or translucent backlit body.
- Mechanical targets: tensile and tear strength, peel adhesion and dimensional stability.
- Presentation: splice rule, liner weight, edge trim and roll labelling.
Quality Control and Acceptance
Control runs from incoming material to the loaded container. PVC paste, plasticiser, base fabric and liner are checked at incoming inspection; film weight, coating thickness, width and surface are monitored in line; finished rolls are inspected before packing. Our control programme references REACH, RoHS and EN71 requirements, and we retain batch records and approval samples so that repeat orders reproduce the first approved roll.
- IQC on PVC resin, plasticiser, base fabric and liner.
- IPQC on grammage, thickness, width and coating coverage during lamination and coating.
- OQC on surface, colour, roll build and splice count before packing.
- Pre-shipment approval samples for any new specification or formulation change.
OEM Configuration and Custom Development
Most of what we ship is customised. We develop and produce against customer drawings or physical samples, adjusting formulation, coating weight, colour and surface treatment rather than forcing a catalogue grade into an application it does not suit. Custom widths, colours and surface treatments are produced above the 2,500 metre minimum order quantity, and a specification can be locked to the ink system, the finishing line and the installation method the customer actually uses.
Packing, Delivery and After-Sales Support
Rolls are wound on cores, edge-trimmed, wrapped and palletised for container loading. The plant sits in Tongxiang near the Shanghai and Ningbo ports, which keeps sea freight efficient and allows air shipment when a customer schedule is tight. Finished material is exported to Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, Japan, Korea and Australia.
Pre-sales work covers specification matching, sample approval and roll format; after-sales support addresses storage, welding, print and handling questions on delivered batches, with technical response on working days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for your flex banner material?
Our standard minimum order quantity is 2,500 metres. Custom widths, colours and surface treatments are produced above that volume, and a new specification is developed from customer drawings or physical samples before the first production run.
Which printing methods does your flex banner suit?
Our laminated PVC flex is produced for UV, solvent, eco-solvent and screen printing, with a bright white surface and stable ink absorption. We confirm the ink system and expected coverage before the coating specification is fixed, so the roll behaves predictably on the customer's press.
Can you supply blockout and backlit grades?
Yes. We produce frontlit and backlit flex banner with translucent bodies for light boxes, and blockout flex with an opaque core for double-sided banners and hanging graphics. Opacity, total weight and roll width are confirmed against the installation.
What widths and roll formats can you produce?
Calendering runs on 4 m and 2.88 m lines, and laminated tarpaulin is supplied in finished widths from 1.02 m to 3.20 m. Finished roll width, core diameter, roll length and splice rule are agreed per order so the roll matches the printer and the finishing table.
How is quality documented for export orders?
Incoming, in-process and final inspections are recorded, and our control programme references REACH, RoHS and EN71 requirements. Batch records and retained approval samples accompany repeat orders, and pre-shipment samples are issued for any new specification.
What do you need to prepare a quotation?
Send the application, print method, required width and roll length, target weight, optical requirement, quantity, schedule and destination port. With those inputs we return a matched construction, the roll format and the compliance documentation the shipment needs.
