Making woven PVC mesh for use in homes or businesses requires extremely high quality.
When there is a production defect, even if undetectable to the eye, the material won't be sold to the mill’s primary customers.
Defects can be functional or cosmetic, for example:
Polyester yarn not properly centered in the PVC coating
Yarn dropped in weaving, leaving an open space
Yarn(s) not coated
Selvage area on a roll has lines or waves
Yarn(s) turned somewhere on the roll
Color not exact to standard color or customer special request
Below are some examples of the seconds we have offered.
Many of these defects can be cut away. Because of potential work involved in removing defects and the possibility some amount of material won't be usable in all applications. Seconds can represent a significant cost opportunity.
This discount creates an opportunity for artisans to develop an infinite number of products that might not be feasible with retail priced fabric. Products like designer bags, umbrellas, and place mats can be made worldwide to create luxury style.
Ideal Seconds customers:
Businesses that create custom projects largely by hand (to be able to deal with fabric defects in a manufacturing process)
Designers with flexibility to select from ever changing available fabrics, colors, etc
International fabricators/manufacturers interested in US produced PVC open mesh
