Polyester Lining Fabric from a Direct Manufacturer
As a Polyester Lining Fabric manufacturer, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.
As a leading Polyester Lining Fabric manufacturer in China, Cixi Derun Industrial Co., Ltd. supplies high-performance lining solutions for apparel, sportswear, and technical textiles. Our range is built on 100% polyester micro-dot knit technology, offering a smooth hand feel, excellent shape retention, and enhanced moisture management compared to conventional linings.
With a 36,000 m² production base and over 200 circular knitting machines, we produce more than 15,000 tons of premium fabric annually. Our factory in Cixi, near Ningbo Port, supports efficient global delivery to more than 20 countries.
Our Polyester Lining Range
We offer four primary lining variants, each engineered for specific end-use requirements:
- Soft Touch Micro Dot Knit – Ultra-fine denier yarns create a cotton-like softness, ideal for intimate apparel, loungewear, and baby products.
- 4-Way Stretch Micro Dot Knit – High-elastic polyester provides over 30% elongation in both directions, designed for yoga wear, compression garments, and active sportswear.
- Moisture Wicking Micro Dot Knit – Capillary channels accelerate sweat evaporation, suitable for summer T-shirts, running apparel, and outdoor gear.
- Shoe Upper Micro Dot Knit – Durable and breathable knit for footwear uppers, providing comfort and structural support.
Application Fit and Material Considerations
Our lining fabrics are engineered for garments where low friction, dimensional stability, and easy care are critical. The micro-dot structure reduces skin contact area, improving breathability and comfort in direct-contact layers.
