Recycled PET Tulle Fabric — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Recycled PET Tulle Fabric: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Recycled PET Tulle Fabric is the version buyers specify when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
Recycled PET gives tulle fabric its durability under wash and abrasion. In practice that means the fabric behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: shrinkage allowance has to be built into the spec. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.
Typical specification
| Item | Tulle Fabric |
|---|---|
| Base material | Recycled PET |
| Standard size | 80 gsm |
| Common finishes | Antique Brass Plating, Black Nickel Finish, Mercerised Finish |

| Typical applications | Caps, Baby Clothing, Shirts, Sportswear |
| Test standard | JIS L Standards |
| Usual packing | 100 pieces per polybag, 2000 per carton |
Properties that matter in buying
- Dimensional stability — 2% allowance is built into the spec before cutting.
- Colour fastness — tested to JIS L Standards on the actual base material, not on a substitute.
- Mechanical performance — elastic recovery after 20 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — JIS L Standards documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.
Common uses
- Activewear
- Scarves
- Sleepwear
- Blazers
- Trousers
- Baby Clothing
How to specify it
- Name the base material in the tech pack, not just the item.
- Fix the size and tolerance in writing before sampling starts.
- Approve a counter sample made from the actual bulk base material.
- Order the test report against the standard your market requires.
- Retain a golden sample at the factory and a second one with you.
