Vinyl fabric is PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coated or laminated onto a knit or woven backing — waterproof, wipeable, and far tougher than plain cloth. Our vinyl collection includes clear vinyl (table covers, protective overlays), marine vinyl (UV-treated for boats and outdoor upholstery), and glitter or patent vinyls for fashion and crafts. Typical uses are table covers, upholstery for restaurants, medical, and marine settings, rainwear, tote bags, and craft projects. Most vinyls are 54 inches wide with a polyester knit backing for stability. Vinyl is wiped clean rather than machine washed, and it should not be folded long-term — roll it to avoid permanent creases. Clear vinyl comes in gauges — heavier gauges for table covers that lie flat, lighter for garment overlays. For marine and restaurant upholstery, choose UV-treated vinyls rated for the exposure they will get. Vinyl is priced from $5.99 per yard, with full bolts at wholesale pricing for upholsterers, restaurants, and manufacturers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between clear, marine, and glitter vinyl?
Clear vinyl is transparent for covers and overlays. Marine vinyl is UV-treated for outdoor and boat upholstery. Glitter vinyl has sparkle embedded for fashion and crafts.
Can you sew vinyl on a home machine?
Yes — use a Teflon or walking foot so the vinyl feeds, lengthen the stitch, and never pin (holes are permanent); use clips instead.
How do you clean vinyl fabric?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid solvents, which can break down the PVC coating.
Will vinyl crack over time?
Marine vinyl is UV-treated against cracking outdoors. All vinyl lasts longest stored rolled, not folded, and away from extreme heat.
Do you sell vinyl fabric wholesale?
Yes — Vinyl is available in full bolts at wholesale pricing for upholsterers and restaurants, with free US shipping on orders over $50. **New FAQs (5) — proposed:**
My vinyl pieces are sticking to each other — is that normal?
Completely normal. The PVC surface gets tacky against itself, especially in warmth — that's why we say never fold vinyl long-term. Store vinyl rolled, and slip a layer of tissue paper or an old bedsheet between the layers so face never touches face. Here's the thing: once two pieces bond in a hot garage, peeling them apart can leave a dull patch, so the tissue trick is worth the thirty seconds.
Will marine vinyl crack in freezing weather?
Cold is actually harder on vinyl than sun. Marine vinyl is UV-treated so it won't bake and crack outdoors in summer, but PVC stiffens as the temperature drops, and a sharp fold on a freezing day can crack the vinyl. If you're working with vinyl in winter, bring the roll inside to warm up before you cut or stretch it — cutting cold vinyl is asking for a split along your cut line.
Does the vinyl smell? Will it go away?
Yes, new vinyl has that plasticky PVC smell — every roll does, and it's strongest right out of the packaging. Unroll the vinyl in a ventilated room for a day or two and the smell fades substantially. Here's the thing: if you're making something enclosed like a bag lining, air the cut pieces before you sew them in, because once vinyl is sealed inside a project the smell takes much longer to dissipate.
Can I lay clear vinyl over my tablecloths to protect them at an event?
People do it all the time — a clear vinyl overlay keeps spills off the cloth underneath and wipes clean between courses. Here's the thing: in sun or heat the vinyl can cling to polyester and trap condensation underneath, so save this trick for indoor events. Cut the vinyl a touch larger than the cloth so drips run off the vinyl instead of wicking under the edge.
Can I heat-press iron-on vinyl (HTV) onto your vinyl fabric?
No — don't. A heat press runs far hotter than PVC can take, and you'll melt, warp, or bubble the coating. If you need lettering or graphics on vinyl, sew-on patches, vinyl-safe fabric glue, or adhesive-backed appliqués are the safe routes. Test any adhesive on a scrap first — some solvents in craft glues can soften the PVC surface. ---
