What to watch for with each material

  • Polyester: Higher denier fabric (e.g. 1680D) is tougher and heavier — choose by use.
  • Jute: Natural jute has a coarse texture — fine logo detail prints better on laminated jute or juco.
  • Canvas: Heavier canvas costs more but lasts longer — match GSM to the load.
  • Non-Woven (PP): Check local regulations on GSM and carry bags for your state before ordering.
  • PU Leather: Grade matters — thicker, better-backed PU lasts longer. Confirm the grade on the sample.
