Choosing Quality PVC Coated Webbing for Bag Straps

PVC Coated nylon webbing is widely used in our daily life, for example, chair straps, shoulder bag straps, bus handle and so on.

Of so many applications, the most commonly use is the luggage and backpack straps.

As we all know, high tensile force is the basic but important factor for the coated webbing. Meanwhile, the straps should be comfortable, odorless, wear-resistant and stain-resistant, waterproof and anti-stain. Apart from these, the vinyl pvc tpu coated nylon webbing strap should be not easy to break when it is being sewed or punched holes.

In general,the standard sizes of the coated webbing used for bag straps are 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 38mm and 50mm width, and the thickness is usually 1.5mm, 1.7mm, 2mm, 2.2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm. In regards to the finish, matte waterproof pvc coated nylon webbing is more popular. Some designers prefer making some unique emboss or texture on the PVC strap surface. Also, logo can be printed on the webbing to make it more personalized.

Besides size and surface, bag manufacturers should pay attention to the following aspects when choosing the coated webbing for luggage straps:

1. Check whether the inner webbing and the outer PVC layer are firmly bonded. If the coated webbing doesn’t have strong enough peel-strength, there may some safety risks.

2. Pay attention to yellowing resistance and hydrolysis of PVC coated webbing. The coated webbing produced with ordinary cheap PVC will generally release powder (a layer of white powder) and get yellowing on the surface in about 3 to 12 months. This is also a serious and very hidden quality problem.
