Canvas Fabric

Canvas Fabric is an extremely durable plain-woven material made of cotton, linen, or occasionally polyvinyl chloride, or hemp.

Advantages of canvas fabric:

  • Strength and wear resistance;
  • With synthetic fibers, it can be water resistant or even waterproof.

Canvas, originally popularized as an excellent painting material and a useful material for sailcloth, has now found widespread use in the production of materials for tents, designer bags and casual shoes.
