As you know, canvas is a fabric woven from pure cotton – a weaving technique that makes the fabric very strong and highly resistant to abrasion. We use canvas not only for shopping bags and tote bags, but also for heavy duty bags, tents, tarpaulins, clothing and other personal or industrial items. Here are the main advantages of canvas tote bags:
Excellent strength-to-weight ratio means they are lightweight but also very wear-resistant; in other words, canvas tote bags are best suited for large quantities of groceries, books, other work and personal items.
Canvas tote bags can be used for many years because of their elasticity;
You can wash them easily; if you follow a minimal set of rules, you can wash your canvas bag in the washing machine to remove dust, dirt, stains and food leaks;
Canvas is a good printed fabric; the magic is that it keeps the color, and the ink stays well on it, won't fade, fall off or rub; in other words, you can print anything on the canvas bag. And don't worry about wear and washing;
However, canvas also has some drawbacks:
Even if cotton is a renewable resource, making canvas with cotton has an indispensable impact on the environment at the production stage; therefore, to make the canvas bag environmentally friendly, you need to use it at least 100 times.
Compared with other fabrics, canvas is more expensive to manufacture
