Question 1

Which tarpaulin GSM should I order for my market?

Accepted Answer

For short-term goods covering and promotional packs, 60–90 GSM PE tarpaulin is sufficient. Hardware retail and DIY channels usually buy 100–160 GSM. Construction scaffolding, hay covers and truck side curtains require 180–300 GSM PE/PP, while PVC coated tarpaulin from 500–900 GSM is used for trailers, tents and industrial curtains.

Question 2

What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?

Accepted Answer

Standard stock specifications start from one 20ft container mix; custom sizes, colours, GSM and printed logos start from 3 tons per specification. Regular production lead time is 15–25 days after artwork and pre-production sample approval, depending on the coating and finishing programme.

Question 3

How is UV resistance controlled in your tarpaulins?

Accepted Answer

UV stabiliser is added at the extrusion stage in a dosage matched to the destination climate. We commonly supply 3–5% UV master batch for Middle East, African and Australian projects, and we can supply accelerated weathering data together with tensile, tear and hydrostatic test reports for each production batch.

Question 4

Can you produce tarpaulins with customer-specified sizes, eyelets and printing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Finished sheets are cut, heat sealed, reinforced with triangular corner patches, rope-hemmed and fitted with aluminium or brass eyelets at 50 cm or 100 cm pitch. We also provide OEM packaging, retail labels, barcodes and up to 4-colour surface printing.
