Step 2: Selecting Fabrics for Custom Cooler Bags

As your trusted cooler bag manufacturer, we recognize the critical role of choosing the right fabric properties for your custom cooler bag project. Whether your priorities lie in water resistance, durability, cost-effectiveness, or customization options, we are well-equipped to meet your needs. Let’s explore key insights into common fabrics together, empowering you to make an informed decision.

1. Polyester Oxford

Typically crafted from polyester fibers, Polyester Oxford Fabric boasts high abrasion resistance and durability, making it ideal for cooler bags that see frequent use. It is also exceptionally lightweight, enhancing the portability of the cooler bags it constructs.

In terms of water resistance, the fabric usually offers a certain level of water repellency, effectively shielding items inside the cooler bag from moisture. It is also easy to clean—either by wiping with a damp cloth or machine washing.

Cost: The cost of Polyester Oxford Fabric varies based on several factors, including material quality, density, thickness, color, and special treatments. Generally, it is relatively affordable compared to other materials, though additional treatments or customizations may lead to higher costs.

Common Types Available:

210D Polyester Oxford Fabric: A lightweight yet durable option, suitable for crafting small cooler bags or backpacks.

420D Polyester Oxford Fabric: More abrasion-resistant than the 210D Polyester Oxford Fabric, it is well-suited for medium-sized cooler bags and delivers reliable water resistance.

600D Polyester Oxford Fabric: This type is often used for large cooler bags or products requiring enhanced strength and durability.

2. Nylon

Widely used in cooler bags of all sizes—from small cooler backpack to large outdoor cooler bags—Nylon Oxford Fabric stands as an ideal choice for both outdoor activities and daily use. It offers a host of advantages, including high abrasion resistance, lightweight durability, water repellency, and easy cleanability.

Cost: Nylon Oxford Fabric may come at a slightly higher cost than Polyester Oxford Fabric. This is because nylon is a more expensive synthetic fiber, whereas polyester fibers typically excel in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Common specificationsof Nylon Oxford Fabric include 210D, 420D, 840D, 1680D, 500D nylon drawcord, and 1000D.

3. Neoprene

Neoprene is a commonly used fabric for cooler bags, thanks to its notable advantages: excellent thermal insulation, softness and comfort, durability with high abrasion resistance, and protection against water and stains.

Common thickness options for Neoprene include 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm. You can select the appropriate thickness based on the specific requirements of your cooler bag project. Additionally, Neoprene supports customization through surface treatments such as coating, printing, or color matching, allowing for personalized designs.

Cost: Compared to other cooler bag fabrics like nylon Oxford fabric or polyester Oxford fabric, Neoprene typically comes at a higher cost. This is attributed to two key factors: it delivers superior thermal insulation and comfort, and its relatively complex manufacturing process drives up production costs.

4. Canvas

Canvas is a robust, durable material that withstands friction and wear during daily use, ensuring cooler bags maintain long-term resistance to abrasion. It also offers excellent breathability, promoting air circulation inside the cooler bag to help preserve the freshness of stored items.

From an environmental perspective, most canvas is made from natural fibers like cotton, making it eco-friendly and aligned with sustainability principles. Economically, canvas is typically more affordable than some synthetic fibers, presenting a cost-effective option for cooler bag manufacturing. This affordability stems mainly from its natural fiber composition (such as cotton) and relatively simple production process—making canvas fabric cheaper compared to certain synthetic alternatives.

Common Canvas Varieties: Based on varying density and texture, common canvas types include 12 oz, 14 oz, and 16 oz. A higher ounce number indicates greater fabric density and thickness, which correlates with enhanced durability.

5. TPU

These cooler bags feature a multi-functional design and are easy to clean.

TPU fabric models are typically categorized by varying thickness and texture. Common variants include 0.2mm, 0.3mm, and 0.5mm.

Cost: Compared to traditional fabrics like canvas or nylon Oxford fabric, TPU fabric generally comes at a higher cost. This higher price point is driven by two key factors: TPU offers superior water resistance and durability, and its production process is relatively complex—both of which contribute to increased manufacturing costs.

6. Non Woven

Non-woven Fabric is lightweight and soft, with a comfortable texture that makes lunch cooler bags easy to carry and handle. It also boasts good breathability, which helps maintain air circulation inside cooler bags and prevents food spoilage.

Most non-woven fabrics undergo treatment to gain water-resistant and moisture-proof properties, protecting items inside the cooler bag from dampness. Economically, it is relatively inexpensive compared to some other fabrics, offering a cost-effective option for cooler bag production.

Common specifications of Non-woven Fabric are based on weight and density, including 60gsm, 70gsm, and 80gsm. Generally, higher weight and density correspond to greater fabric strength and durability.

Cost: Non-woven Fabric is typically low-cost. This is because it is made by bonding or fusing fibers together, eliminating the need for complex weaving or spinning processes. As a result, it becomes an economical choice for cooler bag manufacturing.

Step 3: Other Auxiliary Materials And Process

1. PEVA film

PEVA film is an eco-friendly material commonly used in cooler bags, featuring excellent waterproof performance that effectively protects items from moisture damage. Its soft and transparent nature allows for easy cleaning and enables quick visibility of the contents inside the bag.

Additionally, PEVA film offers good durability, capable of withstanding moderate tearing and abrasion. It is available in various thicknesses, including 0.1mm, 0.15mm, and 0.2mm, making it suitable for the production of different types of wholesale cooler bags.

2. EVA Aluminum Foil

EVA Aluminum Foil delivers exceptional thermal insulation and waterproof performance, effectively maintaining the temperature of items inside the bag while protecting them from moisture. Its lightweight and soft properties ensure easy portability and handling for users.

Furthermore, EVA Aluminum Foil boasts high durability, standing up to daily wear and tear. It is available in common thicknesses such as 0.1mm, 0.15mm, and 0.2mm, which meet the requirements of various cooler bag sizes and types.

3. EVA/PVC Composite Aluminum Foil
