About Materials

Fast Facts

A wider choice
Our material pages show part of the available range. Other fabrics, blends and finishes can suit different bag designs.

Look and feel
Texture, weave and surface finish change how a bag looks and feels, even when fabrics share the same basic material.

Weight and shape
Light fabrics gather easily around a drawstring. Heavier fabrics add body but can create a bulkier opening.

The contents matter
Your product’s size, weight and surface help determine which material suits the bag.

Branding compatibility
Printing and embroidery work differently across fabrics. Texture, stretch and coatings can affect the result.

Reference samples
A fabric sample helps communicate the texture and weight you want. A photograph mainly shows appearance.

Why choose it?
A material beyond the examples on our website may suit your product more closely. You might want a softer surface, a more textured appearance or a fabric that holds its shape better. Starting with the product and its intended use helps you choose a material for a practical reason, as well as its appearance.

Things to consider
Every material brings trade-offs. A thick fabric can make a small pouch difficult to close, while a very light fabric may need reinforcement around attachment points. Some surfaces show marks or collect lint more readily than others. Consider cleaning, contact with the contents and how often someone will use the bag. A fabric’s appearance alone does not establish its strength or protective qualities.

Customization options
Possible choices include different fibre blends, fabric weights, textures, colours and surface finishes. You can also specify a different material for the lining or selected panels. Share a sample, photograph or description alongside your product dimensions and intended use. We’ll need to confirm the material’s availability and compatibility with your bag design and branding.

Best suited for
Other materials suit projects where the examples on our website do not quite match the product or presentation. They may help with gift packaging, storage pouches or bags for unusually shaped items, where the fabric’s feel, flexibility or structure matters to everyday use.
