Thickened polyester fleece fabric is a soft and warm textile with a raised texture. Polyester fleece is made from polyester fibers, which are first woven and then brushed and sheared to create a wool-like texture. This manufacturing process gives these fabrics insulation and hydrophobicity. Furthermore, polyester fleece fabric can be printed with richly colored and intricate patterns or designs.

When sourcing or developing polyester fleece fabric, please consider the following:

Weight (GSM): Range from 150 GSM (micro fleece) to 350+ GSM (polar fleece)
Anti-dandruff treatment: Especially important for clothing and heavy-duty items
Flame retardant options: Requirements for specific export markets
Color customization: Pantone matching supported by the manufacturer
Certifications: OEKO-TEX® for EU markets, GRS (if recycled), REACH compliant
Bulk production typically starts at 1000 meters per color, with delivery times ranging from 15 to 30 days depending on processing requirements.

The manufacturing process of polyester fleece typically includes:

1. Weaving polyester yarns into a lightweight fabric (usually circular knit)

2. Combing one or both sides to lift the fibers and create a fluffy fleece

3. Cutting to create a uniform texture

4. Optional treatments such as anti-pilling coating or flame retardant coating
