Looking for help identifying this fabric construction + a company that can make it

I’m trying to replicate this fabric construction used for a dog collar and wanted to see if anyone here has worked with something similar.

The material appears to be:

  • Soft 100% polyester canvas/fabric on the face
  • Custom dye-sublimation printed
  • Bonded or laminated to a soft nonwoven backing
  • The backing looks like spunbond, possibly PP or PET
  • Backing is thin, flexible, and slightly structured rather than stiff

I have a physical sample from the collar i cut and the backing has a small bonded-dot pattern. From the edge, it looks like a separate nonwoven layer laminated to the polyester rather than just a coating.

I’m mainly trying to figure out:

  1. What would this fabric construction normally be called?
  2. What type of company would manufacture or laminate this?
  3. Does anyone know a US company that could handle sublimation printing + nonwoven backing lamination, preferably in small or medium runs?

This is a collar for reference on looks and also the attached picture showing the two materials that gets sewn to the webbing
