Canvas Fabric with Soft-Touch Rubber Coating for Backpacks
This canvas fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the soft-touch rubber coating surface, the 180 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps backpacks consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 5000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
