What Is Printed Polyester Fabric?

Printed polyester fabric is made by applying designs, images, or color patterns onto woven or knit polyester through various printing techniques such as screen printing, rotary printing, heat transfer, or digital printing. Polyester's smooth surface and synthetic fiber structure allow it to hold color with incredible vibrancy and clarity, making it ideal for high-impact patterns and complex motifs.

Because polyester resists shrinking, fading, and wrinkling, it's a top choice for printed textiles that need to maintain their appearance through regular use or repeated laundering. Whether you're working with lightweight chiffon, structured twill, fluid crepe, or satin, you'll find polyester fabric patterns in every weight, weave, and style at Mood Fabrics.

Why Designers Love Polyester Print Fabric

There's a reason why designers, crafters, and costumers reach for polyester print fabric when they need bold design, long wear, and reliable performance. Unlike natural fibers that can fade or bleed over time, printed poly fabrics offer lasting vibrancy—making them perfect for apparel that makes a statement or home décor that needs to stand up to sunlight and frequent cleaning.

Polyester prints are also incredibly versatile. You can choose from sheers, midweights, knits, and blends to suit everything from fashion pieces and event dresses to drapes, pillows, table linens, and theatrical sets. Because the fabric base is so stable and low maintenance, it's easy to cut, sew, and press—even for beginners.

Many of the printed fabrics in our collection are also digitally printed, which means highly detailed artwork, sharp lines, and photographic-quality color transitions are possible. If you're working on a design that's meant to wow from across the room—or up close—polyester printed fabric is the way to go.

• Printed polyester satin and charmeuse offer a glossy finish and fluid drape, ideal for glamorous eveningwear, blouses, linings, and accessories. The high-shine surface enhances the intensity of the print, making it even more eye-catching.

• Poly crepe and georgette prints provide texture and structure with a slightly matte finish, giving your designs a refined look with movement and dimension. These fabrics are perfect for officewear, skirts, or layering pieces.

• Printed polyester knits and stretch blends offer comfort and flexibility for body-hugging styles like leggings, dresses, swimwear, and performance pieces. These fabrics keep their color even through stretching and wear.

We also offer printed polyester twills, canvas, and upholstery weights for home décor, tote bags, and utility projects that require strength and structure without sacrificing style.

How to Care for Printed Polyester Fabric

One of the key benefits of polyester print fabric is how easy it is to care for. Most styles can be machine washed on a gentle cycle using cool or warm water. To preserve the vibrancy of the print, it's best to wash inside out and avoid harsh detergents or bleach.

Tumble dry on low or air dry to maintain the integrity of the print. If ironing is needed, use the lowest heat setting and always iron on the reverse side using a press cloth. With proper care, polyester printed fabric maintains its color, shape, and hand-feel through countless wears and washes—making it an ideal fabric for everything from wardrobe staples to one-of-a-kind showpieces.
