There are plenty of things you should take the time to think about when ordering bags for your business. Your mind is probably racing to design options and brand messaging, but you might want to start by considering the right material if you need something that’s going to prove exceptionally durable.
If durability and longevity are key concerns, here are just four reasons you should order canvas bags.
- Waterproof
One thing that separates canvas from other eco-friendly bagging materials is that it has a very tight weave. In fact, the weave is tight enough to render canvas waterproof and windproof. That’s why it was used for sails during the era of tall ships. Of course, nobody will be using your bags to set sail around Cape Horn, but customers will appreciate the fact that water cannot penetrate to discolour the material or get at whatever is inside.
- Hard to Tear
Canvas is an incredibly hardy material that has been prized for its durability for centuries. That’s a real benefit when you’re looking for bags – you want something your customers will be able to use for years to come.
- Resists Stretching
You’ll find some fabrics that are tough to tear but relatively easy to stretch. This means you’ll end up with a bag that remains technically useable but quickly feels shapeless. Canvas doesn’t suffer from such issues. It’s a remarkably sturdy fabric that doesn’t stretch when placed under stress. That’s why it’s often used for awnings and old-fashioned tents. Even when used to carry heavy loads, canvas bags aren’t going to get stretched out.
- Retains Colour
Even if a bag retains its shape and never rips, people aren’t going to continue using it once the colours run and the graphics fade. Even if they do, you’ll be losing out as a business since your branding won’t be as effective. Luckily enough, canvas retains dyes extraordinarily well thanks to its tight weave.
