50GSM Single Jersey 100% Polyester Ultra Lightweight Fabric
This 50GSM single jersey is made from 100% polyester and engineered for applications where extreme lightness, breathability, and a clean, sheer finish are critical. The plain single jersey structure creates a smooth, uniform surface on one side and a subtle texture on the reverse, while the ultra‑low 50 grams per square meter weight makes this fabric remarkably light – a full roll weighs significantly less than traditional textiles, reducing shipping costs and storage space. The open, sheer knit allows air to circulate freely (air permeability 320‑380 CFM), preventing heat and moisture buildup. The 100% polyester composition ensures rapid drying (moisture evaporates in about 12 minutes), excellent dimensional stability (shrinkage below 2%), and resistance to water absorption (less than 0.2%). For garment linings, bag interiors, medical textiles, filtration media, and lightweight craft projects, this 50GSM single jersey delivers the ultra‑lightweight performance that designers and manufacturers require.

Why this ultra‑lightweight single jersey is a versatile choice:
50GSM – ultra‑lightweight – Adds almost no weight to finished products. Perfect for reducing shipping costs and keeping garments packable.
Sheer and breathable (320‑380 CFM) – Air moves freely, preventing heat buildup in linings, medical covers, or filtration layers.
Rapid drying (12 minutes from soaked) – Moisture evaporates quickly. Ideal for travel apparel and humidity‑sensitive applications.
Soft hand and smooth surface – Gentle against the skin and lies flat against outer fabrics. Easy to cut and sew.
Excellent dimensional stability – Shrinkage below 2% after washing. Maintains shape for consistent cutting.
Colorfast and easy care – Resists fading from light and perspiration. Machine washable, line dry.
Versatile across industries – Apparel linings, bag interiors, medical textiles, filtration, crafts, flags, and lightweight packaging.
Primary applications for 50GSM single jersey polyester:
Jacket and coat linings (adds no bulk)
Bag interiors and pocket linings
Medical disposable gowns and covers
Filtration layers and air filter media
Bridal veil underlinings and costume linings
Flag and banner backing (lightweight support)
Craft and embroidery backing (stabilizer alternative)
Q1: Is 50GSM fabric strong enough for garment linings?
Yes, for standard lightweight lining applications. Tear strength (>8N) is sufficient for non‑stress areas such as jacket inners, bag pockets, and disposable medical covers. It is not designed for heavy‑duty or high‑abrasion use. For reinforced linings, we recommend 70‑100GSM options.
Q2: Is this fabric see‑through?
Yes, completely sheer. This is by design for applications where transparency is required or acceptable (e.g., linings where the outer fabric provides opacity, or filtration layers). For opaque linings, please see our 100+ GSM single jersey.
Q3: Can this fabric be used for face masks or medical filters?
Yes. The open knit structure allows high airflow while capturing some particulates. However, it is not certified for medical grade filtration unless specified. We can provide test samples for your validation.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this 50GSM single jersey?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 50GSM single jersey. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>8N), air permeability (320‑380 CFM), drying time (12 minutes) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The sheer finish, soft hand, and dimensional stability are identical. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and a copy of the GRS certificate for verification.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for this fabric?
For stock colors (white, black), lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom Pantone colors, add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. Expedited service may be available for orders ≥2000 meters – please inquire.
Q6: How do I care for linings made from this fabric?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry – the fabric dries extremely quickly. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability. Iron on low (synthetic setting) if needed. The fabric is naturally wrinkle‑resistant.
Q7: Can I get custom widths or colors for large orders?
Yes. Standard width is 160 cm. Custom widths from 100 cm to 200 cm are available for orders ≥2000 meters. Custom colors require a 500‑meter minimum with a lab dip lead time of 10‑12 days.
This technical data sheet is based on production samples of DHM1589 single jersey. Stock colors (white, black) MOQ: 200 linear meters. Custom colors MOQ: 500 meters. Recycled version MOQ: 800 meters. Lead time: 25‑30 days for stock colors, 35‑42 days for custom colors (including lab dip).
