What is Nylon Pack Cloth?

Overview

Nylon pack cloth is a highly durable, strong, and versatile material suitable for a wide range of applications. It is used widely in many industries, particularly for outdoor gear, luggage, sporting goods, and durable apparel.

Nylon pack cloth is available in high density or low density options. High density means that the construction of the fabric has a denser construction with more yarns per inch. TVF’s high density pack cloth has a construction of 40 x 60. Low density pack cloth is a slightly looser weave and a little less durable with a slightly lower price point. It has a construction of 50 x 36.
