Decorative Carbon Fiber Fabric: Jacquard, Metallic and Geometric Patterns —Wholesale and Custom Orders
Standard carbon fiber does one thing well. Decorative carbon fiber does two.
Every variant on this page uses the same T300 or T700 structural-grade fiber as our technical fabrics. The difference is the weave construction —engineered for visual impact in addition to mechanical performance. For product designers who need both, this is the materials category worth knowing.
We’ve supplied decorative carbon fiber to automotive accessory brands, consumer electronics manufacturers, luxury goods producers, and individual fabricators since 2010. Current inventory: 14+ pattern variants, in-stock, 48-hour dispatch.
Carbon fiber yarn interwoven with metallic wire (stainless or colored) produces a surface that shifts between matte carbon and metallic sheen depending on viewing angle and lighting. The effect is distinctive and difficult to replicate with surface treatments.
3K Blue Metal Wire T300 Carbon Fiber Fabric 210gsm • T300 fiber • Iridescent blue metallic sheen $64.99/m —View Product & Order Samples
3K Green Metal Wire T300 Carbon Fiber Fabric 210gsm • T300 fiber • Green-gold metallic shift $64.99/m —View Product & Order Samples
Both metallic wire variants are compatible with vacuum infusion and wet layup. Processing notes available on product pages.
Jacquard Pattern Carbon Fiber
Jacquard weaving uses computer-controlled per-thread loom mechanisms to create complex geometric patterns within the fiber structure —not printed on top, not a coating, but woven directly into the fabric. The result is a pattern that survives post-processing including resin infusion, sanding, and finishing.
3K Jacquard 3D Cube Pattern Carbon Fiber —220gsm • T300 • Raised cubic surface geometry • From $52.99/m
Hybrid fabrics combining carbon fiber and Kevlar aramid create distinctive two-tone surfaces (black carbon + yellow Kevlar) with improved impact resistance. Popular in protective applications where the visual element supports the performance story.
Why Fabricators Choose Pattern Carbon Fiber Over Standard Twill
Plain 3K twill is the workhorse of the industry. But there are three situations where decorative carbon fiber makes more sense:
When the surface is the product. Phone cases, watch straps, automotive trim panels, and luxury accessories are judged by their appearance first. Standard twill reads as “technical.” Jacquard and metallic variants read as “premium.”
When differentiation matters more than cost optimization. In crowded product categories, visual distinctiveness has real commercial value. A proprietary jacquard pattern creates a surface aesthetic that competitors can’t easily match.
When you’re combining structural and cosmetic requirements. Our decorative fabrics are structural-grade materials, not decorative films or coatings. They can be used as face sheets in sandwich constructions, combined with structural plies in a layup, or processed in full structural infusion setups.

Applications
Automotive: Interior trim panels, dashboard accents, door inserts, shift knobs, steering wheel wraps. Metallic wire variants popular with aftermarket accessory brands for the color shift effect under interior lighting.
Consumer Electronics: Phone cases, laptop lids, tablet covers, earphone cases. Jacquard patterns allow brands to create visually distinct surface textures that differentiate premium SKUs from standard options.
Luxury Goods and Fashion: Watch straps, card holders, eyeglass frames, belt buckles. Carbon x Kevlar hybrid popular for products where the Kevlar yellow creates a visible performance signal.
Sporting and Outdoor Equipment: Helmet outer shells, ski tip reinforcement, cycling accessories. Pattern fabrics increasingly used where design-forward aesthetic supports premium brand positioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for decorative carbon fiber fabric? Sample cuts start at 1m. For wholesale pricing, minimum order is 5m for in-stock items and 50m for bulk pricing tiers. Custom pattern production requires a minimum of 200m.
Are these fabrics compatible with standard epoxy infusion systems? Yes, with some processing notes. All standard weaves infuse well with industry-standard epoxy systems. Metallic wire variants require slightly longer infusion times —allow 10—5% additional time. Detailed processing guides are available on each product page.
Can I get samples before committing to a wholesale order? Yes. Email info@bulkcomposites.com with your application details and which fabrics you’d like to evaluate. We send 1—m sample cuts at retail price before bulk orders.
Do you offer custom weave patterns for OEM applications? Yes. We support proprietary jacquard pattern development at 200m+ minimum runs. Contact us with your requirements for a feasibility assessment.
What fiber grade are these fabrics? Our decorative fabrics use T300 carbon fiber —the industry-standard structural grade. They are not decorative films or coatings. If your application requires T700 or higher-modulus fiber in a jacquard construction, contact us to discuss options.
How does your pricing compare to other suppliers? We’re a manufacturer, not a trader. Factory-direct pricing means you’re not paying distributor margins. For like-for-like specifications, our pricing is typically 15—5% below distributor-sourced alternatives at wholesale volumes.
