Laminated Fabric
by the yard

Laminated fabric by the yard features a base textile bonded with a thin plastic or TPU coating, creating a waterproof, wipe-clean, and durable surface. Typically ranging from 150–350gsm, it maintains flexibility while offering excellent resistance to moisture, stains, and abrasion. The base fabric may use cotton, polyester, canvas, or blends, allowing a balance of structure and ease of sewing. Available in solids, florals, geometrics, kids’ prints, and matte or glossy finishes, laminated fabric is widely used in everyday protective and utility items.

Fabric Content/Material: Cotton, Polyester, Canvas, TPU Laminated Blends
Fabric Applications: Tote Bags, Raincoats, Aprons, Table Covers, Pouches, Outdoor Gear
Colors/Patterns: Solids, Florals, Abstract Prints, Kids Patterns, Matte or Glossy Finish

What Makes Laminated Fabric Worth It

A Waterproof Surface Built for Real Work

Laminated fabric is constructed by bonding a clear or matte polyurethane film to a base cloth — typically cotton, polyester, or canvas — creating a surface that repels water, resists staining, and wipes clean in seconds. The result is a fabric that performs where ordinary textiles fail: in kitchens, markets, workshops, and outdoors. Unlike coatings that crack or peel after a few washes, quality laminated fabric maintains its barrier properties through repeated use and gentle cleaning cycles.

Ideal Weight Range for Structural Projects

Our laminated fabrics run from 150gsm on the lighter end — suitable for rainwear and packable tote bags — up to 350gsm for heavy-duty aprons, market totes, and outdoor table covers that need to hold their shape under pressure. The added film layer contributes meaningful body to the base cloth, which means even lighter-weight laminated options behave with more structure than their uncoated counterparts. This makes them a reliable choice for bag fabric applications where clean lines and durability are non-negotiable.

Versatile Enough for Fashion and Function

Beyond utilitarian uses, laminated fabric has earned a place in fashion-forward sewing rooms — think structured clutches, waterproof capes, and rain-ready outerwear with a polished finish. The film surface can carry printed patterns underneath, so you can work with animal print fabric or bold abstract fabric designs while still getting full water resistance. This combination of visual appeal and technical performance makes laminated fabric one of the most versatile materials available to both independent makers and commercial producers.

Wholesale Laminated Fabric That Performs Every Time

When you need fabric that can take a splash, a spill, or a full shift in a commercial kitchen without losing its integrity, laminated fabric is the professional's answer. Our wholesale range covers cotton-base laminates for a natural feel underfoot, polyester-base options for maximum durability, and heavyweight canvas laminates for industrial-grade applications — all available by the yard so you can order exactly what your production run demands. Every roll is manufactured to consistent film thickness and bonding strength, meaning the first yard off the roll performs identically to the last. Whether you're producing a small batch of handcrafted market bags or fulfilling a large commercial order for hospitality aprons, our laminated fabric stock is built to keep pace with your output.

From Rainwear to Table Covers — One Fabric, Many Uses

Laminated fabric sits at the intersection of practicality and design, making it a go-to material for makers who refuse to compromise on either front. It's the natural choice for bag fabric projects that need to survive daily commutes, farmers' markets, and beach trips without absorbing moisture or developing mildew. It's equally at home in the kitchen as a wipe-clean apron fabric, where a quick wipe between tasks is worth more than any amount of decorative stitching. The waterproof surface doesn't just protect the fabric — it protects whatever is inside or underneath it.

If you're comparing laminated fabric to alternatives like coated fabric or bonded fabric, the key distinction is the continuous film layer that lamination provides, which delivers a more uniform and reliable moisture barrier than surface coatings alone. Ordering by the yard gives you the flexibility to test a material in your workflow before committing to bulk quantities, and our wholesale pricing means the per-yard cost scales down meaningfully as your order grows. Browse the full range above to find the right base cloth, weight, and finish for your next project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is laminated fabric actually made of?

Laminated fabric is a base textile — most commonly cotton, polyester, or canvas — that has been bonded to a thin layer of polyurethane (PU) film using heat and pressure. The film is what gives the fabric its waterproof, wipe-clean surface. The base cloth determines the drape, weight, and breathability, while the laminate layer provides the protective barrier. Together they create a material that's tougher and more functional than either component on its own.

Can I sew laminated fabric on a regular home sewing machine?

Yes, but a few adjustments make a significant difference. Use a Teflon or roller presser foot to prevent the film surface from sticking to your machine's standard foot, and increase your stitch length slightly to reduce perforation along seam lines. Avoid pinning through the visible face of the fabric — use binding clips or pins only within the seam allowance. A sharp needle, such as a microtex or leather needle, will pierce the film cleanly without tearing.

What are the best uses for laminated fabric by the yard?

Laminated fabric excels in any application where moisture resistance and easy cleaning are priorities. It's widely used for tote bags, market bags, backpacks, aprons, placemats, table covers, raincoats, and children's bibs. At heavier weights (250gsm and above), it's well-suited for structured bags and outdoor furniture covers. Lighter weights work beautifully for packable rain capes and waterproof linings.

How do I clean and care for laminated fabric?

Most laminated fabrics should be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soapy water — this is one of their biggest practical advantages. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent, and never tumble dry or iron directly on the laminated surface, as heat can warp or bubble the film. Hang to air dry and store flat or loosely rolled to prevent permanent creasing in the film layer.

Does the laminate coating affect how the fabric drapes or handles?

Yes, the PU film adds stiffness and body to the base cloth, which reduces natural drape compared to an uncoated version of the same fabric. This is actually desirable for bags, aprons, and structured outerwear, where you want the material to hold its shape rather than fall softly. If you need a more flexible result, look for lighter-weight laminated options (around 150–180gsm) or fabrics with a thinner film application. Heavier laminated canvas will behave almost like a light board, which is ideal for base panels and exterior bag walls.
