What is the difference between cotton bags and canvas bags

10 Sep, 2024 6:03pm

Cotton cloth bag: The material of cotton cloth bag is a woven fabric made of cotton yarn as raw material. Due to different organizational specifications and post-processing methods, different varieties are derived. The concept of cotton cloth is very broad, and it can be said that any fabric made from cotton yarn can be called cotton cloth.

Canvas bag: The material of canvas bags is a relatively thick cotton or linen fabric, and most of the yarn specifications of canvas bags are thicker than ordinary cotton yarn. As early as the 8th century, Europeans used it to make sails and named it "canvas". At present, in China, due to the scarcity of hemp raw materials, we generally believe that cotton is used as the raw material, so canvas can be said to be a type of cotton cloth in this category. Huanya Packaging has learned that the significant difference between canvas and cotton fabric is that the warp and weft yarns of canvas are composed of 2 or more strands, while cotton fabric is mostly a single strand. This also leads to the rough appearance of canvas bags and the fine texture of cotton bags. In addition, canvas is generally woven in plain weave and rarely in diagonal weave, which makes it convenient to distinguish between canvas and cotton fabric. Due to the fact that canvas is woven with multiple strands of thread, its texture is strong, wear-resistant, compact, and thick. Canvas also has sturdy and good waterproof properties, making it widely used in industries such as cloth bags, clothing, shoes, automobile transportation, and luggage.

Although cotton bags and canvas bags are different, they both belong to a type of eco-friendly bag. However, Chengdu eco-friendly bag manufacturer Huanya Packaging mainly produces canvas bags with a wide range of styles and specifications. The more common styles of canvas bags are canvas tote bags, canvas backpack bags, canvas drawstring bags, canvas corner bags, canvas zipper bags, etc.
