Plain Fabric Detail

Plain Fabric Detail

Plain weave is the most basic and fundamental of all textile weaves, characterized by a simple over-under interlacing pattern. This crisscross structure makes the fabric exceptionally strong, durable, and resistant to unravelling. Because of its structural integrity, it is widely used in everything from lightweight clothing to heavy-duty industrial applications. Due to its uniform surface, any structural anomaly such as holes, stains, or needle marks becomes immediately visible, making automated inspection critical for maintaining high quality standards.

  • Criss-cross pattern that is highly durable
  • Used in shirting, canvas, and blankets
  • Common defects include stains, holes, and needle marks
