Many people mistakenly think that “canvas” refers to the material it’s comprised of.
Actually, “canvas” refers to the fabric’s weave, not its material content.
It is plain-woven, a very basic weave that produces a strong and sturdy fabric.
Furthermore, the canvas can be made into different varieties depending on how tightly the threads are woven together.
Tighter weaves are referred to as “duck canvas.”
In fact, the canvas can be made of several different types of fibers.
However, it is most commonly made from cotton (from the cotton plant) or linen (from the flax plant) and sometimes hemp (from the cannabis plant).
Why Does Canvas Make a Good Material for Custom Tote Bags?
Canvas is also used as a surface for painting.
The reason for this has a little bit to do with its durability, but even more to do with the fact that canvas accepts paint well.
Colors won’t bleed and paint won’t flake off as with other surfaces.
Canvas is also very flexible.
It can be stretched to fit over a frame for painting and display.
Finally, the canvas is relatively inexpensive so it is an affordable surface for painting on.
All of the things that make canvas ideal for painting are the same things that make it perfect for use in constructing canvas tote bags.
The material makes a strong, durable bag that is also lightweight, so it’s practical for packing full of groceries or books.
Plus, it readily accepts ink during the imprinting process with little or no bleeding.
The imprint won’t peel or flake off afterward.
Custom canvas bags can even be washed without damaging the bag or the imprint.

What is calico material uses?
Calico material uses include bags, aprons, curtains, furnishings, and more.
Calico is durable and long-lasting when cared for properly.
For every 5 garments produced, the equivalent of 3 end up in a landfill or incinerated each year!
One reason for such wastefulness is society’s ever-growing desire to acquire.
Fast fashion (creating low-priced items at high volumes) is problematic for a number of reasons and promotes the attitude that clothing is nearly disposable.
Calico is sustainable when organic.
Is calico eco-friendly and sustainable?
Yes, calico is sustainable when organic.
Natural fibers like cotton are actually really harmful IF they are not organic.
How? Cotton seeds are often GMOs that require pesticides, which are extremely toxic! In fact, up to 16% of the world’s pesticides go to non-organic, GMO cotton farming every year.
The chemicals degrade soil and pollute water as well as poison cotton pickers.
Wow! …So it’s time to start using sustainable fabrics, materials and textiles.
