Hey there! As a supplier of PP nonwoven fabric rolls, I've been in the industry for quite some time, and I often get asked about the common sizes of these rolls. So, I thought I'd share some insights with you all.
PP nonwoven fabric rolls are super versatile and are used in a ton of different applications, from packaging to medical products. And the size of the roll can vary depending on what it's going to be used for.
Width Sizes
Let's start with the width. One of the most common width sizes for PP nonwoven fabric rolls is 160 cm (about 63 inches). This width is great for a lot of general - purpose uses. For example, if you're making shopping bags or some types of industrial packaging, a 160 - cm wide roll gives you enough material to work with without having to do too many seams.
Another popular width is 240 cm (around 94 inches). This wider size is often used in larger - scale applications, like making big - sized banners or some heavy - duty agricultural covers. When you need a large expanse of fabric without joining multiple pieces, a 240 - cm wide roll is the way to go.
There are also smaller width sizes available. For instance, 50 cm (about 20 inches) is commonly used for things like making shoe linings or some small - scale handicrafts. It's more manageable for projects that don't require a lot of width.
Length Sizes
Now, let's talk about the length. A very common length for PP nonwoven fabric rolls is 1000 meters. This is a standard length that many suppliers offer because it strikes a good balance between having enough material for production runs and being easy to handle and store.
Some customers might need shorter lengths, like 500 meters. This could be for smaller orders or for testing new products. On the other hand, there are also longer lengths available, such as 2000 meters. These longer rolls are usually for big - time manufacturers who have continuous production processes and need a large quantity of fabric in one go.
Thickness Considerations
The thickness of the PP nonwoven fabric also plays a role in determining its common sizes. Thinner fabrics, say around 15 - 20 grams per square meter (gsm), are often used for lightweight applications like disposable masks or some soft packaging. These thinner fabrics can be made into longer and wider rolls more easily because they're lighter and less bulky.
For thicker fabrics, like those above 100 gsm, they're used for more heavy - duty applications such as geotextiles for soil stabilization or some high - strength industrial covers. The rolls of these thicker fabrics might be shorter in length to make them more manageable due to their weight.
Special Applications and Their Sizes
Medical Applications
In the medical field, PP nonwoven fabrics are widely used. For surgical gowns, SMS Nonwoven Fabric for Surgical Gown is a popular choice. The rolls for this type of fabric usually come in widths of around 180 - 200 cm and lengths of 500 - 1000 meters. The specific size depends on the production requirements of the surgical gown manufacturers.
Hygiene Products
When it comes to hygiene products like baby diapers or adult incontinence pads, Hydrophilic Nonwoven Fabric is commonly used. These rolls are often narrower, around 80 - 120 cm in width, and can vary in length from 500 - 1500 meters, depending on the production scale of the hygiene product factories.
Industrial Applications
For industrial uses, such as filtration or insulation, SMS PP Non Woven Fabric is a top pick. Rolls for industrial applications can have a wide range of sizes. Widths can go from 100 cm to 240 cm, and lengths can be anywhere from 500 meters to 2000 meters, depending on the specific industrial process and the amount of fabric needed.
