Description
T300 Sateen - 100% Cotton Reactive Pre-Coated Digital Print Base Fabric for Bedding, Cushions, Fashion & Custom Textile Printing
T300 Sateen Fabric is a premium 100% cotton digital print base fabric designed for reactive printing, custom bedding, cushions, fashion garments, decorative textiles and bespoke interior projects. Supplied in a generous 180cm width, it features a smooth sateen construction that provides a refined surface with a soft handle and subtle sheen. The fabric is reactive pre-coated, helping prepare the cotton fibres for digital reactive dye printing and making it suitable for detailed patterns, artwork and customised textile production.
The 100% cotton composition gives the fabric a natural, breathable feel, while the sateen weave creates a smoother and more polished surface than standard plain-weave cotton. Its wide 180cm format makes it particularly practical for larger printed products such as bedding, duvet covers, pillowcases, curtains and furnishing panels. Available by the metre, T300 Sateen is suitable for design sampling, short runs, bespoke collections and commercial digital textile printing.
