What to watch for with each material

  • Genuine Leather: Higher unit cost and natural variation in grain and shade between hides — approve a sample before bulk.
  • PU Leather: Grade matters — thicker, better-backed PU lasts longer. Confirm the grade on the sample.
  • Canvas: Heavier canvas costs more but lasts longer — match GSM to the load.
  • Jute: Natural jute has a coarse texture — fine logo detail prints better on laminated jute or juco.
  • Juco (Jute-Cotton Blend): Usually priced between cotton and laminated jute.
  • Polyester: Higher denier fabric (e.g. 1680D) is tougher and heavier — choose by use.
