12 oz Cotton Canvas Fabric (410 g/m²)
12 oz canvas is where the cloth starts to feel structural. It carries hardware, holds a box shape, and takes the abrasion of a bag that gets thrown in a van every day. It needs a heavier machine and needle, and it does not fold as small.

Common questions
Is 12 oz the same as 410 g/m²?
Roughly, yes — 12 oz per square yard converts to about 410 g/m². The exact g/m² depends on the construction; we confirm it on the article table at RFQ.
What is the minimum order for 12 oz cloth?
100 metres for greige with no per-colour minimum, or 1,000 metres per colour once dyeing or printing is involved. No container commitment.
