Wholesale suit and garment covers are protective sleeves designed to shield clothing from dust, moisture, and UV light during storage or transport. For retail and bridal applications, the best materials are Breathable Non-Woven fabric (which prevents mold and mustiness) and PEVA (an eco-friendly, waterproof alternative to PVC). For high-volume laundromats and dry cleaners, lightweight LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) offers a cost-effective, clear protective layer.
Trusted by Australian bridal boutiques, bespoke tailors, and commercial laundromats, finding the right cover ensures both garment protection and premium retail presentation.

Understanding PEVA vs Non-Woven vs LDPE
When comparing materials for commercial use, buyers must balance breathability, water resistance, and budget. Here is the technical breakdown of the three primary wholesale materials:
1. Eco Non-Woven Fabric (The Breathable Choice)
Non-woven polypropylene is a soft, highly breathable fabric created by spinning and bonding fibers together. This is the ultimate choice for archiving and long-term storage.
- The Benefit: It allows constant airflow. This is essential for natural fibers like wool, silk, suede, and leather, which require ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, mildew, and stale odors.
- Durability: Typically measured in GSM (Grams per Square Meter), a heavier GSM non-woven bag provides substantial tear resistance while remaining completely reusable for the consumer.
2. PEVA (The Waterproof, Eco-Friendly Plastic)
Polyethylene Vinyl Acetate (PEVA) is a premium, non-chlorinated plastic. It was developed as a direct, environmentally conscious alternative to traditional PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), which releases harmful VOCs and is difficult to recycle.
- The Benefit: PEVA is entirely waterproof and incredibly easy to wipe clean. It is the perfect choice for protecting luxury garments from rain or spills during customer transport.
- Aesthetics: It offers a sleek, modern finish and is widely available in crystal clear, opaque white, or matte black styles.
3. LDPE (The High-Volume Standard)
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is the lightweight, flexible, and fully transparent plastic film you typically see at the dry cleaners.
- The Benefit: It is incredibly budget-friendly. LDPE provides a fast, immediate barrier against dust and dirt without adding significant weight or cost to the operational overhead.
- Best Use Case: This is the undisputed industry standard for high-volume dry cleaners, fast-fashion transport, and short-term protective storage where maximum visibility of the garment is required.
Why Boutiques Need Custom-Printed Garment Bags
A high-quality suit or dress cover is rarely thrown away. Customers keep them in their closets for years, using them for travel and seasonal storage.
By using our custom printing services to add your boutique or tailor's logo to a Non-Woven or PEVA garment bag, you secure long-term brand visibility every time your customer opens their wardrobe. Combined with premium hardware details, like snag-free center zippers and reinforced hanger-holes, a branded garment bag elevates the perceived value of the purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do bridal covers need a side gusset?
A: Wedding gowns and formal dresses often feature heavy tulle, crinoline, or exceptionally long trains. A standard flat cover will crush the fabric. Our premium bridal covers feature a 22cm flared side gusset to comfortably accommodate the dress's volume without wrinkling it.
Q: Are your garment bags suitable for long-term storage?
A: Yes. For long-term storage, such as archiving a wedding dress or putting away seasonal winter coats, we strongly recommend our Non-Woven Breathable covers. They prevent yellowing and moisture trapping that can frequently occur in fully sealed, non-breathable plastic.
Q: Do you offer bulk pricing for large retail chains?
A: Yes, our garment bags are available in wholesale cartons (ranging from 50 to 250+ units) with tiered bulk pricing to support high-volume retail chains, large laundromats, and busy bridal boutiques.
