Laminated or coated fabrics are printed cotton fabrics whose printed side is subsequently made water-repellent with a thin acrylic or PVC coating. PVC-coated fabrics usually have a smooth surface and are stronger and thicker than acrylic-coated oilcloths.
The advantages of both fabrics are that they are water-repellent and durable. The fabric edges don't fray and therefore don't need to be finished. When cutting, only the pattern direction needs to be considered, not necessarily the grain.
