A strong, durable nonwoven fabric comprising polyester and/or polyolefin fibers arranged in a pattern of high density, lightly entangled fiber regions. Distributed throughout the fibers is an adhesive binder material to provide the final fabric with improved strength characteristics. Entangled nonwoven fabrics are dry print bonded to produce nonwoven fabrics having an excellent combination of strength, softness and durability.
