Tyvek Hard vs. Soft Structure: Which Should You Choose?

Tyvek comes in two main structures: hard structure (Type 10) and soft structure (Type 14). Both are made from the same HDPE material, but their textures and performance vary for different business uses.

  • Hard Structure Tyvek feels paper-like, stiff, and smooth. It’s stronger, holds shape well, and is commonly used for packaging, envelopes, shopping bags, or signage. It also supports sharp printing results and offers excellent water resistance.

  • Soft Structure Tyvek, on the other hand, is fabric-like, drapeable, and breathable. It’s ideal for apparel, drawstring bags, backpacks, and promotional items where comfort and flexibility matter. It also provides a strong barrier against dust and particles.

Which should you choose?

If you need structure, durability, and a clean appearance—go for hard Tyvek. If flexibility and fabric-like comfort are more important, soft Tyvek is the better fit.
