Cotton Duck Fabric Manufacturer in India

Single-fill and utility cotton duck, manufactured against your construction, GSM and width. Army and Number Duck constructions run considerably heavier and are developed separately against buyer specification — confirm your target weight at RFQ stage rather than assuming one duck range covers every classification.

What is cotton duck?

Cotton duck is a tightly woven, plain-weave cotton fabric family closely related to canvas — in trade usage the terms sometimes overlap. Construction varies genuinely by subtype: Single Fill Duck, Army Duck and Number Duck use different yarn counts, ply structures and thread densities, so each should be specified on its own terms rather than assumed to share one construction or weight band.

Duck weight is classified two ways in the trade. Number Duck uses a numbering system that runs in reverse — a lower number means a heavier fabric (a #1 duck is substantially heavier than a #12 duck). Army Duck is a specific, heavier military-derived classification. Single Fill or utility duck sits at the lighter end and is what most bag, apron and general industrial buyers are actually looking for. These aren't interchangeable weight bands, and treating them as one GSM range is a common (and easy to catch) mistake — we've kept our single-fill/utility range and our Army/Number Duck capability clearly separate on this page for exactly that reason.
