About Non-woven Fabric
Non-woven fabric is man-made and manufactured using light-weight polymers, as such the end product is immensely strong, durable and easy to work with.
Like all polypropylenes, non-woven fabric can be recycled but does not break down naturally in landfill.
The current manufacturing processes of non-woven has allowed it to become economical enough to produce Reusable Bags that replace Single-use plastic bags.
Non-woven Reusable Bags have probably done more to clean up our environment than any other single element in the last 10 years – while it is not a perfect solution, it has been the most effective thus far.
Non-woven Polypropylene is manufactured using chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. It is usually pressed with uniform pattern of some type to give it the appearance of a woven fabric.
Non-woven P.E.T. is the common abbreviation for Polyethylene Terephthalate which usually exists as a clear, opaque or white polymer – most commonly used for packaging, primarily water bottles and food containers. Non-woven P.E.T. is made using similar processes to non-woven polypropylene.

What about printing?
Non-woven fabric takes screen printing very well and excellent results can be achieved with the simplest designs using very cost-effective print methods.
However, if a most complex print is needed, there are a range of print technologies available that can reproduce photo-quality print results on non-woven fabric.
