Satin Fabric Sourcing Guide: Types, Specifications and RFQ Checklist

Satin (locally known as "Seding" or "Shading" in Chinese textile hubs) is a staple smooth, lustrous woven fabric widely used in apparel, sleepwear, linings, and home textiles. Traditionally constructed with a satin weave that yields a high-density, glossy surface, modern commercial satin is predominantly manufactured from polyester (FDY/DTY) or blends to achieve a silk-like handfeel at a fraction of the cost. For global sourcing managers, understanding the exact yarn weights, density configurations, and specific sub-types (like stretch or slub satin) is critical to getting accurate factory quotes.
