Material Costing
Carpet material cost comparison for DTC rug teams before supplier quoting.
Cost is a product architecture decision.
Polyester
Often useful for soft hand feel, color expression, and accessible DTC price points. Check shedding, pile recovery, and backing strength.
Polypropylene
Common for value and durability-led designs. Confirm color, odor, edge finish, and packing recovery after compressed shipping.
Wool blends
Higher material story and touch, but more sensitive to shedding, smell, dye variation, and inspection standards.
Backing and edge
Backing material, latex, binding, overlock, anti-slip layer, and label method can change both cost and customer experience.
Before comparing factories, lock the material, pile, backing, edge, size tolerance, and packing assumptions. For sourcing support, continue with Wynn.
