POLYESTER
VS COTTON
Snap Drape’s 100% high quality polyester products are a superior choice for banquets, hotels, catering, and
restaurants due to their durability, stain resistance, and cost-effectiveness. Unlike cotton, polyester resists
wrinkles and fading, maintaining a crisp, vibrant appearance even after repeated use and laundering. Its
easy-care properties reduce the need for ironing and allow for quicker turnaround, which is crucial in highvolume settings. Additionally, polyester is more affordable than cotton, making it a budget-friendly option for
businesses seeking to balance quality with cost efficiency.
