Making Umbrellas & Rainwear? PVC vs. EVA Film - Your Quick Choice Guide!

Choosing the right material makes all the difference for your umbrellas and rainwear. We offer both PVC and EVA films, but they play very different roles. Think of it this way:

• PVC Film is like the “Hard Shell Armor” for your product:

  • Best At: Being super waterproof, scratch-resistant, and tough. It stands up to heavy rain and wind perfectly. It's the most reliable and cost-effective choice for umbrella canopies and the outer layer of raincoats.

  • Downside: It feels stiffer and can get even stiffer in cold weather.

• EVA Film is like the “Soft, Cushiony Lining”:

  • Best At: Being naturally soft, flexible, and comfortable to the touch. It stays flexible in winter and is non-toxic. It's ideal for raincoat collars, cuff linings, or umbrella handle grips and ferrule covers to add comfort.

  • Downside: Its long-term waterproof pressure isn't as strong as PVC's, and it's often more expensive.

Quick Decision Guide:

• Making durable, value-focused umbrellas and rainwear? PVC Film is your go-to main material.

• Want to upgrade comfort and add premium details? Use EVA Film in key touchpoints.

• Want the best of both worlds? The winning combo is using PVC outside for protection and EVA inside for comfort.
