Stitch density refers to the number of tufting stitches per unit area.
A higher stitch density can contribute to:
- More uniform visual coverage
- Greater fiber support
- Better load distribution
- Reduced visible gaps
However, excessive density can increase material usage and may restrict movement between fibers.
For many sports-oriented non-infill systems, a practical market range may be approximately 18,000–25,000 stitches/m², with higher-density configurations used for certain applications.
The important point is that Dtex and stitch density must be matched.
For example:
High Dtex + low density may leave excessive gaps.
Low Dtex + extremely high density may produce an overly soft or crowded surface.
A properly engineered system seeks an appropriate balance rather than maximizing individual numbers.
