At Citrus Rain, we can digitally print any image or pattern onto material of your choice. We offer a variety of high-quality fabrics for you to choose from, such as printed satin fabric.
Satin is a highly functional and versatile material, yet it also offers a little touch of luxury that can really spruce up the appearance of an item.
But what is satin actually made of?
It is important to ask these kinds of questions as we become more and more aware of where we source the things we purchase and consider whether they are sustainable.

What is Satin Made of?
Satin is the name of a distinct type of fabric weave, known for its smooth and glossy sheen on one side and its dull matt finish on the other.
A satin weave is mainly created through complex warp-faced weaving techniques. Warp yarns are ‘floated’ over several weft yarns, before going under a single weft thread.
There are several types of satin fabric, each made from different materials. Most stain fabrics are made with silk, nylon or polyester filament fibres.
Now, if a satin weave uses short-staple yarns instead of filament fibres, the fabric produced is technically called ‘sateen’. An example of this is cotton.
Sateen is usually weft-faced, where the weft yarns are floated over several warp yarns, before going under a single warp thread.
What Can Satin be Used for?
A satin weave makes the fabric more flexible, allowing it to flow and drape beautifully around compound curves.
For this reason, satin is perfect for anything from curtains, tablecloths and bed runners to dresses, scarves and all manner of clothing.
The flat surface that a satin weave produces makes the fabric perfect for our digital printing techniques, ensuring a crisp, sharp and detailed print finish.
