Description
Film is waterproof and wipeable — meant for bags, pouches and anything allowed to get wet. The fabric comes 68 cm wide and brings 226 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 100 % PVC.
Transparent is the colour for anything meant to look airy. In summer a pale fabric reads noticeably lighter than a dark one. A walking foot helps when layers slip against each other — with coated goods that is the rule. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What PVC Folie Transparent is suitable for
- bags and rucksacks
- children's outdoor clothing
- gilets and overalls

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to finish the edges?
Usually not — fleece, softshell and boiled wool do not fray. On woven coated fabrics you do, since the backing loosens at the edge. When in doubt, a look at the cut edge after the first wash decides.
May the piece go in the dryer?
As a rule no. Heat harms the coating. The care label names exceptions; with some finishes low warmth even revives the water repellency. Hung up, these goods dry faster than most cottons anyway.
Is the fabric breathable?
That depends on the finish. Softshell and membrane fabrics let moisture out from inside, simple coatings do not. For sport the product details are worth a look.
Is the finished piece waterproof?
The fabric is, the seams are not. Every needle makes holes. To sew genuinely watertight you seal the seams with tape or place them where water does not stand.
