Canvas is one of the most versatile and widely used fabrics in both industrial and commercial sectors — and at Pakistan Fibres, we manufacture a wide range of canvas fabrics that are optimized for strength, durability, and value. Depending on the GSM, weave structure, and finishing, canvas can be used across numerous industries such as home textiles, tents, tool bags, drop cloths, aprons, utility covers, upholstery, sails, and many more. We supply canvas in both raw and dyed forms, including water-resistant, flame-retardant, and coated variants as per client requirements. Whether you’re building a product or using it as a support material, we’ll help you choose the right weight and finish.
Below is a general reference chart showing approximate canvas weights and typical applications. Keep in mind, GSM and oz/yd² are both used internationally — and while they may seem interchangeable, they reflect different measurement standards. We can produce canvas in rolls or pre-cut sizes, and each order is tailored to your exact width, length, and finishing instructions.
| Weight (oz/yd²) | Approx GSM | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 6 oz | ~200 GSM | Light drop cloths, interlinings, soft backing |
| 8 oz | ~270 GSM | Standard drop cloths, bags, promotional use |
| 10 oz | ~340 GSM | Heavy drop cloths, tents, durable bags |
| 12 oz | ~400 GSM | Tool bags, upholstery base, industrial use |
| 14–16 oz | ~475–540 GSM | Military-grade tents, utility covers, sails |
| 18+ oz | 600+ GSM | Extreme-duty tarpaulins, truck covers, custom industrial work |
We also manufacture canvas blends using cotton, polyester, or poly-cotton yarns depending on the strength, flexibility, and water resistance you need. If you require pre-dyed, printed, laminated, or finished canvas, we can arrange it — with fast production lead times and highly competitive pricing for bulk orders.
