Non-Woven Garment Covers
Non-woven garment covers are the choice for long-term storage: the fabric blocks dust and light while still letting air through, so moisture is not trapped around the garment. The category includes covers in white, black and grey, 80 to 180 cm long, flat or with an 8 cm or 25 cm gusset, with a full-length zipper, ID window and carry handles. Sold by the unit and wholesale, and also with logo printing.

What non-woven fabric is and why it suits garments
Non-woven fabric is made of fine synthetic fibers bonded by heat and pressure instead of weaving. This structure creates a light, stable sheet that lets air pass. Unlike a sealed plastic bag, non-woven fabric breathes: it protects the garment from dust, light and rubbing without trapping the moisture that can cause odor, stains and yellowing. That is why it is the standard material in bridal salons, suit shops and dry cleaners for storage of weeks and months. This category is part of Dress and Suit Covers.
Types of non-woven covers in this category
Flat covers in six lengths
The cover with full zipper and clear pocket and the cover with zipper and ID window are 60 cm wide and come in 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm lengths, in white and black. The range lets you match each garment with its own length, from a shirt to a maxi dress.
Long cover with clear window
The long white 60×180 cm cover with clear window and black trim is for slim-cut evening dresses, coats and costumes, when you want to identify the garment without opening it.
Gusseted covers
A side gusset joins the front and back and creates volume. The black cover with 8 cm gusset and the grey cover with 8 cm gusset suit layered dresses, coats and a set on two hangers. The wedding dress cover with 25 cm gusset and the 70 cm wide bridal and evening dress cover are designed for full dresses.
Foldable covers with handles
The black foldable 60×180 cm cover, the white foldable cover, the white foldable cover with two handles and black trim and the 60x100 cm cover with handles fold in half and are carried like a bag. All these models are also gathered in Foldable Covers with Carry Handles.
How to choose a non-woven cover
Length: measure from the top of the hanger to the hem and add 10 to 15 cm. For maxi dresses and long coats, choose 180 cm.
Depth: a thin, regular-cut garment fits a flat cover. A layered or embellished dress or a thick coat needs an 8 cm gusset, and a full wedding dress needs 25 cm.
Color: black is opaque to light, protects strong colors from fading and hides signs of use. White gives a clean look suited to bridal salons and handovers. Grey is neutral and fits in a closet or stockroom.
Window or pocket: in a closet or stockroom full of identical covers, a clear window or a pocket for a note saves opening zippers to find one garment.
Handles: anyone who carries garments to events, fittings or customers will appreciate a cover that folds in half.
Non-woven, PEVA or a plastic bag
Non-woven fabric breathes and suits long-term storage, but it is not waterproof and can get wet in the rain. PEVA covers repel water and are better for carrying on a rainy day and for short-term hanging, but they do not breathe. A clear plastic bag for a garment on a hanger suits short-term dust protection, for example when handing back a garment from the dry cleaner, not storage of several months.
Care and reuse
Shake the cover and wipe it with a damp cloth. Non-woven fabric is not meant for machine washing.
Keep the cover away from direct heat and sunlight. The fabric is sensitive to high temperatures.
Close the zipper slowly and keep the fabric inside away from the zipper teeth, especially with chiffon, tulle and lace.
Even with a breathable fabric, store only a clean, completely dry garment and leave space between covers.

Frequently asked questions
What does "albad" mean, and is it the same as non-woven fabric?
Yes. Non-Woven is the international name, "non-woven fabric" is its English description, and "albad" is the name commonly used for it in Israel. It is a sheet of synthetic fibers bonded by heat and pressure rather than woven, which makes it light, stable and breathable.
Is a non-woven cover waterproof?
No. Non-woven fabric blocks dust and light and lets air through, but it absorbs water and is not rainproof. To carry a garment outdoors on a rainy day, a PEVA cover, which repels water, is a better choice. For closet storage non-woven is better, because it breathes.
Can a non-woven cover be washed?
Not in a washing machine. Shake the cover, wipe it with a damp cloth and keep it away from direct heat. Used properly, a non-woven cover can be reused again and again, which is why it replaces the single-use plastic bag.
Which color non-woven cover should I choose: black, white or grey?
Black is opaque to light, protects strongly colored garments from fading and hides signs of use, so it suits long-term storage and shipping. White gives a clean look and suits bridal salons and handing over to customers. Grey is neutral and looks tidy in a closet or stockroom, like the grey cover with 8 cm gusset.
What is the fabric weight of the non-woven covers?
In the flat covers in six lengths, the fabric is non-woven at 80 to 90 grams per square meter, a weight that keeps the cover light for hanging and carrying and durable for reuse. The specifications of each model appear on its product page, and for questions about a specific model contact us.
