DERFLEX manufactures custom cut size tarpaulin for distributors, fabricators, transport operators, contractors and OEM buyers. Specify the material, cutting dimensions, finished dimensions, edge construction, eyelet pattern, reinforcement, printing and packing required for your market or project.
A cut size tarpaulin is measured at the material-cutting stage, before fabric is consumed by hems, seams, folds, rope edges, webbing, corner reinforcement or other finishing work. Once those operations are completed, the actual finished dimensions are normally smaller than the original cut dimensions.
This distinction matters when the cover must fit a truck body, stockpile, machine, shelter frame, floor area or packaged product. A buyer who needs a precise installed dimension should normally order by finished size. A buyer purchasing panels for later fabrication, or following an established regional size convention, may choose cut size instead.
The stated dimensions refer to the sheet or panel before final hems and seam consumption.
Common use: converter supply, standard regional tarp sizes, cut panels, distributor programs and projects where the buyer controls final fabrication.
The completed tarpaulin is produced to the final dimensions shown on the approved drawing or order.
Common use: fitted covers, truck bodies, equipment covers, frame systems, replacement tarps and applications where installation accuracy is critical.
DERFLEX does not apply a universal size-reduction figure because the finished loss varies with fabrication. Dimensional allowances are confirmed against the approved structure before production.
PVC coating and optional surface treatment support waterproofing, cleanability, weather resistance and color stability.
Woven high-tenacity polyester provides tensile strength, tear resistance and dimensional stability during handling and installation.
The reverse layer supports waterproof protection, welding performance and a balanced material construction.
Hems, webbing, rope, eyelets, D-rings, pockets and corner patches are selected according to load and installation method.
Size accuracy alone cannot guarantee tarp performance. The material must also match the exposure, handling frequency, load, fixing method and expected service environment. DERFLEX primarily supports cut size tarpaulin made from PVC coated polyester because this construction combines waterproof performance, strength, flexibility, weldability and customization for professional applications.
Depending on the project, buyers can discuss coated or laminated PVC structures, different yarn and weave combinations, surface lacquers, UV-stabilized formulations, cold-resistant options, flame-retardant requirements, anti-mildew treatments and custom colors. PE tarpaulin, mesh or other technical fabrics may also be evaluated where the application calls for a lighter, ventilated or more economical construction.
Buyers comparing base material choices can review DERFLEX PVC tarpaulin solutions for more detail on coated polyester structures and typical outdoor applications.
Performance is selected by use condition rather than by thickness alone. The final specification should balance durability, handling, fabrication and purchase cost.
PVC coated structures provide a waterproof barrier, while welded seams and correctly designed edge details support finished-cover protection.
Polyester base fabric can be matched to pulling, wind, cargo movement and repeated handling requirements.
UV-stabilized and weather-resistant options are available for truck covers, outdoor storage and long-exposure projects.
Material weight, coating construction and surface finish can be selected for contact with frames, cargo, pallets and machinery.
Suitable specifications can support hot-air welding, high-frequency welding, sewing, eyelets, webbing and reinforced edges.
Color, finish, branding, packing and size assortments can be planned for importers, wholesalers and private-label product lines.
The ranges below are procurement references. Final values depend on the approved application, structure, quantity and test requirements.

Please request a product-specific data sheet when tensile, tear, adhesion, fire or weathering values are required for compliance review.
DERFLEX can support a basic cut panel or a more complete finished cover, depending on the buyer's production model and target market.
A structured confirmation process is especially important for custom cut size tarpaulin, where a misunderstanding of measurement basis can affect the entire batch.
Confirm what is being covered, exposure, installation and handling frequency.
State cut size or finished size and identify the measurement unit.
Confirm hems, seams, reinforcement, eyelet spacing and special openings.
Approve material, color, construction and packing before bulk production where required.
Check key dimensions and visible finishing against the agreed production reference.
Material grade and fabrication can be aligned with the final use instead of forcing every order into one standard tarp construction.
Exact sizing improves coverage, reduces excess material and simplifies installation across commercial and industrial applications.
Cut panels or finished covers for flatbeds, trailers, cargo bodies, side systems and transport protection.
Temporary roofing, material protection, scaffolding enclosures, site partitions and weather barriers.
Hay, grain, feed, farm machinery and outdoor material covers with application-matched UV performance.
Made-to-dimension covers for stored, transported or temporarily idle machines and industrial assets.
Protection for pallets, raw materials, finished goods and temporary outdoor storage areas.
Repeat size lines for distributors, hardware channels, cover fabricators and private-label product ranges.
Cut size tarpaulin quality is not judged only by the center fabric. Dimensional consistency, seam placement, hem width, eyelet spacing, reinforcement and packing all influence installation and field performance. DERFLEX uses an approval-based workflow so the buyer's measurement basis and fabrication details remain visible throughout the order.

Practical answers for importers, distributors, tarp fabricators, contractors and project buyers.
Cut size is the material dimension before hems, seams and other finishing consume fabric. Finished size is the final dimension of the completed tarpaulin. A finished tarp ordered by cut size will generally be smaller than the stated cut dimensions.
Choose finished size when the completed cover must fit a specific object, body, frame or area, . Choose cut size when you purchase panels for later fabrication or when your established product program is intentionally based on cut dimensions.
There is no universal reduction. The difference depends on hem depth, seam overlap, welding or sewing, panel joining, edge reinforcement and the cover design. DERFLEX confirms the allowance after reviewing the required construction.
