Laminated Tarpaulin Fabric Manufacturers

PVC Film Lamination and Where It Fits

Lamination bonds a pre-formed PVC film onto a woven polyester base using heat and pressure, rather than spreading PVC paste directly on the scrim. The result is a fabric with a dense, closed PVC surface on both faces, uniform colour across the roll, and predictable behaviour in printing, welding and cutting.

Because the film is produced first, its thickness, gloss level and pigment loading can be set independently of the base weave. That makes laminated constructions a natural fit where appearance and surface consistency matter as much as mechanical strength.

• Barrier and cover work: tarpaulins for yard storage, timber, hay, boats and outdoor equipment.
• Structures: tent roofs, marquees, awning panels, side curtains and inflatable covers.
• Print media: frontlit and backlit banner stock laminated on polyester scrim.
• Speciality variants: transparent and mesh-reinforced tarps for light transmission and wind pass-through.

Our Tarpaulin Range Within PVC Tarpaulin Material

Laminated tarpaulin sits inside a wider PVC Tarpaulin Material programme. We quote from four related build routes, and the choice follows the duty cycle, surface requirement and welding method rather than a single headline weight.

Specifications We Build and Confirm

Each order is defined by the working point, not by a catalogue grade alone. We confirm the following values on the quotation and repeat them on the inspection record.

• Base fabric: yarn denier (840D, 1000D, 1300D), weave and thread count.
• Film build: film thickness, total weight per square metre and PVC-to-scrim ratio.
• Width: finished roll width between 1.02 m and 3.20 m, with trimmed or welded edges.
• Colour and optics: opaque white or black, clear green, clear white, plus translucent mesh variants.
• Surface: gloss or matte finish and printing treatment for solvent, eco-solvent, UV and screen inks.
• Mechanics: tensile strength, tear strength, peel adhesion and dimensional stability.
• Roll format: roll length, core diameter, splice policy and roll weight for handling.

Where fire performance, cold-flex behaviour or a specific test standard is required, the standard and test method are stated in the enquiry so the construction is quoted against a defined target.

Lamination Capacity and Quality Control

Our factory runs two Taiwan-made PVC calenders at 4 m and 2.88 m working width, five Taiwan-made laminators, four lamination presses and two coating machines. Annual output reaches 30,000 tons of PVC film and around 85 million square metres of finished fabric, including frontlit and backlit billboard stock.

Quality control follows three gates: incoming inspection of resin, plasticiser and scrim (IQC), in-line checks on film thickness, coating weight and adhesion during lamination (IPQC), and outgoing inspection of width, colour, roll build and packing (OQC). Our management systems are aligned with ISO and REACH requirements, and material declarations for REACH, RoHS and EN71 are issued with shipments where the destination market requires them.

Welding, Finishing and Installation Notes

PVC-faced laminated tarpaulin welds by high-frequency and hot-air methods. Seam strength depends on the film build and on the surface condition at the joint, so we recommend a welding trial on the supplied roll before full production of sewn or welded assemblies.

• Allow the material to relax and dry before welding; surface moisture affects bond quality.
• Use eyelets, rope-reinforced hems and reinforced corners matched to wind load at the fixing points.
• Store rolls on their sides, on a dry floor, away from sharp edges and sustained heat.
• For printed panels, confirm ink system compatibility with the surface treatment we apply.

Customisation and Delivery Scope

We develop and produce against customer drawings or samples. Custom widths, colours and surface treatments are part of the normal order flow, with a minimum order quantity of 2,500 metres. Finished rolls are packed for sea freight, which we ship through Shanghai and Ningbo; air freight is used when a customer's schedule requires it.

Our materials are exported to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, and further to Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Australia and Canada. Delivery documentation, packing marks and pallet or carton configuration are agreed at order confirmation.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

A short technical brief is enough to turn an enquiry into a quotable construction. The points below are the ones that change the recommendation most often.

• End use and service environment: indoor, outdoor, UV exposure, wind load, contact with abrasion or chemicals.
• Target weight per square metre or film thickness, and preferred yarn denier.
• Finished width, roll length, core size and maximum roll weight for your handling equipment.
• Colour, opacity or translucency requirement, including clear green or clear white mesh.
• Downstream process: digital printing, screen printing, HF welding, hot-air welding or sewing.
• Test standards and declaration needs for the destination market.
• Order quantity, packaging format, destination port and required documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between laminated and coated tarpaulin?

In lamination, a finished PVC film is bonded to the polyester scrim under heat and pressure. In coating, PVC paste is applied directly to the scrim and then fused. Laminated fabric usually gives a more uniform surface and colour; coated fabric is often chosen for heavier mechanical duty. We produce both and will recommend the route that matches your application.

Which constructions and widths do you produce?

Our laminated tarpaulin range covers 840D, 1000D and 1300D polyester scrims in finished widths from 1.02 m to 3.20 m. Wider master rolls come off our 4 m and 2.88 m calenders and are slit to the width you specify.

Can you supply clear or mesh laminated tarpaulin?

Yes. We produce clear PVC laminated mesh tarps in clear green and clear white, used where light transmission or wind pass-through is needed alongside waterproofing.

What is your minimum order quantity?

The minimum order quantity is 2,500 metres. We mainly produce to customer drawings or samples, so width, colour, surface treatment and roll format are set at the enquiry stage rather than taken from a fixed stock list.

How are the rolls packed and shipped?

Rolls are wound on cores with the length and core size agreed at order confirmation, then packed for sea freight. We ship mainly by sea through Shanghai and Ningbo and can arrange air freight for urgent cargo.

How quickly will you respond to a technical enquiry?

We reply within 24 hours on working days. Sending the application, target weight, width, colour and quantity in the first message lets us come back with a concrete construction proposal rather than a general price list.
