Frequently asked questions - non woven fusible interlining
Common questions from garment factories, shirt manufacturers and formal wear producers about non woven interlining fabric, applications and wholesale supply in India.
Non woven fusible interlining is an interlining fabric made by bonding polyester fibres (rather than weaving them) and coating one side with thermoplastic adhesive. When pressed with heat and pressure, it bonds permanently to the fashion fabric, adding stiffness and stability. It is primarily used for smaller garment parts — shirt collars, cuffs, plackets, waistbands, pockets and bag construction — where a lighter, more economical interlining is appropriate. For heavy structured garments like suits and sherwanis, woven fusible interlining should be used instead.
Woven fusible interlining has a proper woven fabric structure — stronger, more durable, used for the full-front body of suits, blazers and sherwanis (80–150 GSM). Non woven fusible interlining is made by bonding fibres — lighter (30–82 GSM), more economical, and suited for collars, cuffs and small garment parts. Both use heat-activated adhesive but with different coatings — PA (polyamide) for woven, PES (polyester) for non-woven. Most factories use both: woven for the garment body, non-woven for construction details.
These are different things. Non fusible interlining strictly means interlining without adhesive — it must be sewn in by hand or machine, not heat-bonded. It is used in high-end tailoring where a softer, more natural construction is preferred. Non woven fusible interlining does have adhesive — it is fusible, and the word “non woven” refers only to how the base fabric is made (bonded fibres rather than woven yarns). Most buyers searching for “non fusible interlining” in India are actually looking for non woven fusible interlining. If you are unsure which you need, contact us and we will advise.
PES stands for polyester-based thermoplastic adhesive — the coating used on non woven fusible interlining. It activates under heat (up to 120°C) and bonds to the fashion fabric on cooling. Double Ghoda’s non woven interlining uses double-dot PES coating — a pattern that distributes adhesive more evenly across the fabric, resulting in better bond consistency and resistance to edge lifting compared to single-dot grades. PES coating also provides good dimensional stability through repeated washing at 40°C.
Double Ghoda’s minimum order for non woven interlining India wholesale is 1,000 meters. We supply B2B only — garment factories, shirt manufacturers, women’s wear producers and formal wear factories. Non woven interlining is supplied in 90m rolls (white and black). Contact us for per-metre pricing, freight terms and lead time to your city.
Non woven interlining is not the right choice for the full-front body fusing of suits and sherwanis. The bonded fibre structure does not provide the structural rigidity and shape retention that heavy ethnic formal wear requires. For suits, blazers and sherwanis, you should use woven fusible interlining at 80–150 GSM. Non woven can be used for the small parts of these garments — pockets, pocket flaps, collar stays — but not for the main body construction.
