Fabric and contract manufacturing

I have my own factory. I want to buy material, or find a contract manufacturer.

Drop-stitch and coated fabric supply, plus OEM and ODM manufacturing for brands and integrators building their own products.

Short answer

Buying fabric and building in-house is cheaper than importing finished goods, and fabric ships far more efficiently than inflated products. Industry MOQ for drop-stitch sits around 50 m² with some mills negotiating lower, base cloth is commonly 1000D × 1000D polyester, and commercially available chamber depth runs roughly 5 to 30 cm.

Typical use

  • Inflatable product factories sourcing raw material
  • Outdoor brands specifying fabric for boards and mats
  • Defence integrators buying base material
  • Design studios prototyping
  • Brands seeking contract manufacture

Where you should buy elsewhere

The established drop-stitch mills — Zhejiang MSD and several others — have decades of production behind them and compete hard on commodity fabric. If you need standard material at the lowest price, they will beat us. Where a smaller supplier earns the order is non-standard specification, mixed small quantities, or contract manufacture where you need someone to build to your drawing rather than sell from a catalogue.
