Content
Most bag fabrics are judged on two properties: strength and water resistance. The Nylon 272 Twill With PVC Sponge 0.7mm adds a third: cushioning. The 0.7mm PVC sponge backing provides a padded layer that protects both the contents and the wearer, making this fabric suited to school bags and carry products where comfort matters.
Hangzhou Gaoshi Luggage Textile Co., Ltd. has manufactured oxford fabrics since 2002, supplying bag, backpack, and outdoor product markets.

What the PVC Sponge Backing Actually Does
Standard PVC coating is a thin, hard layer. The 0.7mm sponge variant is different: it is a cellular layer that compresses under pressure.
The practical results for bag construction:
-
Impact absorption – contents are cushioned against knocks and drops
-
Wearer comfort – the padded layer softens contact with the body when carried
-
Structural body – the fabric holds shape better than thin-coated alternatives
-
Water resistance – the PVC layer blocks moisture penetration
-
Wrinkle resistance – the fabric resists creasing during storage and use
At 500gsm, this is a substantial fabric. It is not intended for lightweight linings—it is a main-panel material for products where durability and comfort are priorities.

A Note on Dyeing and Colour Durability
This fabric uses standard dyeing, which is appropriate for indoor and moderate-exposure applications. Buyers specifying fabric for outdoor use should understand the alternatives.
solution dyed polyester fabric embeds pigment in the polymer before fibre extrusion, providing superior UV fade resistance. 100 solution dyed polyester refers to fabric made entirely from solution-dyed yarn, while 600d solution dyed polyester applies the same process to heavier deniers.
dope dyeing of polyester is the technical term for the same process: pigment added to the melt before extrusion. For polyester outdoor applications facing continuous sun, solution dyeing extends service life significantly compared with surface dyeing.
For school bags used primarily indoors and in moderate conditions, standard dyeing is adequate and cost-effective.
