In the footwear and bag industries, mesh fabrics are widely used for their lightweight, breathable, and durable qualities. Among them, 100% polyester single mesh and sandwich mesh are the most common types. While both are made from polyester fibers, they differ significantly in manufacturing process, structure, and performance.

Ⅰ. Craft Differences

Single-layer Mesh Fabric: Produced with warp knitting or weft knitting machines, featuring a single-layer mesh structure. The process is relatively simple, focusing on breathability and lightness.

Sandwich Mesh Fabric: Made with double-needle bar warp knitting machines, forming a three-layer structure (surface + middle support + bottom) in one process. It is more complex, combining breathability with structural support.

Ⅱ. Features of 100% Polyester Single Mesh

1. Lightweight and breathable, ideal for lightweight designs.

2. Soft and flexible, providing comfort.

3. Excellent dyeability with bright and lasting colors.

4. Simple and uniform appearance with even pores.

5. Cost-effective with lower production costs.

Ⅲ. Features of 100% Polyester Sandwich Mesh

1. Three-layer structure with strong support.

2. Good elasticity and rebound, offering cushioning effects.

3. Durable with strong abrasion and compression resistance.

4. Layered and textured appearance with a 3D effect.

5. Extendable functionality, suitable for finishing like waterproofing, flame-retardant, or lamination.
