Stitchbond is a sustainable non-woven textile that most South Africans will have used at some point, even if they don’t realise it. There are various types of stitchbond, but no matter the manufacturing process, they all have beneficial qualities that make the textiles incredibly versatile.
These fabrics have a variety of uses, the most common of which is the recycled shopping bags sold by your local supermarket. Other applications include waterproof membranes, home textiles (such as vertical blinds) and footwear components.
Purchasing managers, procurement specialists and business owners looking for an incredibly strong, durable, sustainable and versatile textile should consider stitchbond. This textile is manufactured in South Africa, so it’s a great idea to support the local industry instead of importing the fabric from overseas.

Why buy from a South African supplier?
Finding a local textile manufacturer or supplier brings several advantages to your business. These include:
- Minimal lead times – A local supplier can process orders and deliver textiles within a far smaller lead time than international suppliers. Delays at shipping ports and customs points can delay orders of imported textiles.
- Guarantee of quality – Our customers are welcome to visit our offices and ask for a tour of our manufacturing facility. You can also ask for samples of our textiles before placing an order. This allows you to see and feel the quality of our stitchbond yourself, which is not always possible with imported products.
- Support the local economy – By purchasing from a South African supplier, you help to generate revenue for local businesses and contribute to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country. This helps with job creation and supports local communities too.
- A more personalised service – Local suppliers are more likely to provide a personalised customer service which improves your overall experience. This includes easy ways to ask questions about products or to get assistance from the supplier.
