BASE CLOTH DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS  

We are pleased to offer the most comprehensive selection of print cloths available in the industry. Utilizing a combination of available innovative technologies, such as the new STAIN SMART finish by Milliken, Crypton, and the latest Trevira CS, Visa intrinsic and Avora polyester yarns, we provide a collection of user friendly fabrics. These print grounds each have distinct performance characteristics that would make their choice an appropriate decorative fabric solution for a specific real world situation. Alternate print ground selections are available in both wide and narrow widths, are in stock, and allow you to create highly attractive performance fabrics. Additionally, we have the capability to produce “strike off” samples for your review within 24 hours.
