In the field of luggage bag making, the choice of fabric is crucial, which is directly related to the durability, functionality, and appearance of the luggage bag. There are 5 most commonly used fabrics - Canvas, Polyester Oxford, Nylon Oxford, PU, and PVC. Let’s see their detailed characteristics now.
1. Canvas
Canvas is a classic fabric with a long history of use. It is usually woven from cotton or linen fibers and has a unique textured appearance.
Features:
1. Strong texture and strong wear resistance. It can withstand the friction of luggage during transportation and dragging and is not easy to break.
2. Excellent breathability, which makes it difficult for items in the luggage bag to produce odor, especially suitable for long-term storage of clothing and other items.
3. It has a certain degree of hygroscopicity and can absorb some water vapor in a humid environment. However, if it is in a humid state for a long time, the drying speed is slow.
Advantages:
1. Natural material that is environmentally friendly non-toxic and friendly to the human body and the environment.
2. Versatile style, whether a leisure travel or outdoor adventure style luggage bag, canvas can be perfectly adapted, showing a casual and rustic texture.
3. High durability, under normal use, a canvas luggage bag can accompany the owner for many years.
Disadvantages:
1 . Poor waterproofness, easy to penetrate when exposed to water, if there is no additional waterproof treatment, the luggage is easy to get damp when traveling on rainy days.
2 . The weight is relatively heavy, which will increase the overall burden of the luggage, which is not very friendly for travelers who pursue extreme lightness.
3. Easy to shrink, the size may change after washing, so you need to pay more attention when using and maintaining it.
2. Polyester Oxford Fabric
Polyester Oxford fabric is an Oxford fabric made of polyester fiber, which is a very common choice in the current luggage bag production.
Features:
High strength and fiber toughness make the fabric able to withstand large external forces, not easy to tear and ensure the safety of luggage.
Good waterproof performance. After waterproof treatment, water droplets can slide off the cloth surface, effectively preventing the internal items from being soaked.
Quick-drying properties are outstanding. Even if it is wetted by rain or washed, it can be dried in a short time without affecting subsequent use.
Excellent wrinkle resistance. After folding or squeezing for a long time, it can still maintain a relatively flat appearance when unfolded.
Advantages:
Affordable price, and extremely cost-effective, it is the first choice for consumers with limited budgets who need durable luggage bags.
Rich and long-lasting colors, bright and beautiful colors after printing and dyeing, not easy to fade after multiple washings, meeting different aesthetic needs.
Easy to care for, daily stains can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth, without a complicated cleaning process.
Disadvantages:
Poor breathability. Compared with canvas, the items in the luggage bag may have some stuffy smell after long-term use.
The texture is hard, and the feel is not as soft and comfortable as canvas. You may feel uncomfortable when carrying it close to your body.
It is slightly less environmentally friendly. As a chemical fiber material, polyester is difficult to degrade. Long-term and large-scale use will cause certain pressure on the environment.
