There are different natural, synthetic fibres, and polymers for example polyester, recycled fibres, lyocell and viscose are used for nonwovens. The selection of fibres depends upon the end use and required characteristics like strength, weight, resilience and other functional properties. Non-Woven goods are produced by bonding the staple fibres by intermingling them, it is different technology from the usual clothing methods where fibre is converted into the yarn first and then weaving or knitting takes place.

Spun lace most common manufacturing system that employs jets of water to entangle fibers and thereby provide fabric integrity. Other methods and techniques are needle punching, spun bond and melt blown.

After the production of nonwoven fabric, they are cut into various sizes and additives are induced into them if required.
