Textile Lamination

What is textile lamination for sportswear? It is the process of bonding two or more material layers - face fabric, functional membrane and backing - under heat and pressure or with adhesives, creating technical fabrics that are windproof, water-repellent and breathable. As a custom sportswear manufacturer, Cindra combines modern lamination equipment with an experienced production team to deliver consistent bonded quality at OEM scale.

Efficient combination of fabric properties for optimal sportswear.

Textile lamination is a key process in our production, focusing not just on aesthetics but primarily on functionality. We distinguish between two-layer and three-layer lamination.

In two-layer lamination, we blend fabrics with different properties to achieve the best possible outcome. This method allows us to pair a fabric known for its stretchability with another that is exceptionally durable or soft, offering a range of options to meet the specific demands of sportswear.

Three-layer lamination incorporates a membrane between the fabric layers, making the materials wind and waterproof, ideal for outdoor activities where protection from different factors is crucial. With this technique, our fabrics are recognized not only for their appearance but also for their functionality.

The quality and functionality of our fabrics are evident in their use in professional sports. Our laminated textiles are a choice for Pro Tour teams in events like the Tour de France and are also seen in Biathlon World Cup races and the Olympics. Their widespread use on international sports platforms is a testament to elite athletes and their teams' confidence in our products.

Whether printed or plain, our laminated fabrics are equipped to meet the high demands of the sportswear industry. We can offer high-quality products at competitive prices by handling our own textile lamination.
