Bonding & Lamination

For Fabrics and Performance Materials

FabricBack provides professional bonding and fusing services that permanently join two or more materials to create stronger, more durable, and more versatile composites. By combining substrates, we enhance puncture resistance, stiffness, dimensional stability, and long-term performance for a wide range of applications.

Why Use Bonding or Lamination?

Bonding allows designers and manufacturers to create enhanced composite materials

Reinforce Lightweight Materials

Add strength and stability to thin or delicate textiles, making them suitable for demanding applications.

Improve Tear & Puncture Resistance

Enhance durability and longevity by combining materials that resist damage and wear.

Add Body or Stiffness

Control drape and structure by laminating substrates that provide dimensional stability.

Combine Aesthetic & Functional Properties

Create composite materials that maintain beauty while delivering enhanced performance for demanding environments.

Our process produces a unified material that maintains the best attributes of each layer while enhancing overall durability.

How It Works

Our bonding and fusing process ensures quality results every time

1

Material Consultation

We evaluate your materials and discuss your project requirements to recommend the optimal bonding method—adhesive lamination, thermal fusing, or custom techniques.

2

Testing & Sampling

Before full production, we create test samples to verify bond strength, appearance, and performance characteristics meet your expectations.

3

Precision Application

Using specialized equipment and controlled processes, we apply bonding agents or thermal fusing with precision and consistency across your entire material run.

4

Quality Inspection & Delivery

Every bonded material is inspected for quality, consistency, and performance before careful packaging and delivery to your workroom or fabrication facility.
