18 oz Cotton Canvas Fabric (610 g/m²)
18 oz is near the top of the cotton canvas range — a No. 2 / No. 1 numbered-duck weight for the heaviest covers, shelters and industrial fabrication. It is bought when nothing lighter survives the environment, and cut with industrial equipment.

Common questions

Roughly, yes — 18 oz per square yard converts to about 610 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 18 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.
