What Is the Best Dryer Fabric Seam Type?
FAQ
Dryer Fabric Seam Types:
Pin Seam: Standard for flat yarn fabrics. Good strength, easy installation. Most common type for packaging, culture, and kraft applications.
Spiral Seam: Highest strength — preferred for wide machines (>6m) where seam integrity is critical. Spiral coils at each fabric end intermesh and are joined with a pin.
Clipper / Hook Seam: Lightweight fabrics, applications requiring frequent fabric changes.
PAPTEX Advantage: All seams are factory pre-installed — no field sewing required. Arrives ready to join and run.
