African Wax Fabric Types: Cotton Wax, Super Wax, Holland Wax and Polyester

Terms such as African wax fabric, Ankara fabric, Dutch wax, Holland Wax and Super Wax are often used together in online searches. For a wholesale order, the more useful questions are: What is the fibre composition? How is the fabric finished? What is the piece length? Which customer and garment is it intended for?

Browse the African wax print wholesale collection to compare current designs, then send the style numbers and colours for a stock and price check.

See the Difference Before You Order

Names are useful for narrowing a product search, but a close-up view helps you judge the print, surface and intended use. These images are fabric or style references; the actual sale item is the fabric shown on its product page.

One Visual Reference for Each Fabric Type

Use the product photo to understand the visual difference, then open the linked category to check the exact style, colour and current stock. Product photography shows the fabric; it does not guarantee that every colour or design remains available.

1. Holland Wax Print Fabric

Holland Wax Print Fabric is a practical starting point for buyers who want cotton-based wax print styles for regular customer demand. It can work as a core category for boutiques and tailors because buyers can compare patterns and colours without moving immediately into a highly decorated finish.

For a first wholesale selection, compare several designs rather than ordering a single colour only. Record the style number, preferred colours, number of six-yard pieces and destination country before asking for a quote.

2. Super Wax and Grand Super Wax

Grand Super Wax Print Fabric is positioned above standard Holland Wax in the current assortment. It uses 100% cotton styles with richer colour choices, distinctive labels and a more premium presentation.

“Premium” should be assessed together with the actual fabric, print clarity, label, piece length and customer use. Ask for current product photos and the exact style number instead of choosing from the category name alone.

3. Polyester Wax Print Fabric

100% Polyester Wax Print Fabric serves a different buying brief from cotton wax. It may suit customers who prioritise a lower price point, easy care or a wider budget range.

Do not compare polyester and cotton only by appearance on a screen. Ask about hand feel, drape, heat and the intended garment before recommending it to a customer.

4. Wax Print with Glitter and Rhinestones

Decorative wax styles should be treated as finish-based categories. Wax Print Fabric with Glitter is defined by its glitter finish, while Wax Print Fabric with Rhinestones uses rhinestone decoration. Neither category is limited to one colour.

These fabrics can suit party dresses, wedding outfits and other occasionwear. Before quoting, confirm the exact colour, decoration density, piece length, current stock and whether the customer needs a close-up video.

5. Kente Print Fabric Sets

Kente Print Fabric Set is useful when the buyer is planning a coordinated outfit or group order. The set format matters as much as the print, so confirm the included pieces and total length before comparing it with a standard six-yard wax bundle.

How to Choose the Right Type for a Wholesale Order

  • Price-sensitive assortment: start by checking polyester wax print options.
  • Classic cotton wax demand: compare Holland Wax styles.
  • Higher-value or event selection: review Grand Super Wax and decorative wax styles.
  • Party and wedding garments: compare glitter and rhinestone finishes.
  • Coordinated or group outfits: check Kente print sets.

This is a starting framework, not a fixed ranking. The best option depends on the customer’s garment, target selling price, fabric feel, colour request and available stock.
