Fabric Weight Chart

Here is a detailed cotton fabric weight chart and the conversion between GSM (grams per square meter) and OZ (ounces per square yard):

     GSM to OZ Conversion Formula

  • 1 oz/yd² = 33.906 GSM

  • To convert GSM to OZ: divide GSM by 33.906

  • To convert OZ to GSM: multiply OZ by 33.906

  • Approximate conversion: 1 oz/yd² ≈ 34 GSM, 1 GSM ≈ 0.0295 oz/yd²

Fabric Weight Categories (Typical for Cotton and General Fabrics)

Weight Class GSM Range OZ Range (oz/yd²) Common Fabric Examples Typical Uses
Ultra Light Under 100 GSM Under 3 oz/yd² Chiffon, voile, lace, tulle Lightweight dresses, scarves
Lightweight 100 - 170 GSM 3 - 5 oz/yd² Lightweight cotton shirting, chambray Shirts, blouses, summer dresses,drawstring bag
Midweight 170 - 340 GSM 5 - 10 oz/yd² Midweight cotton, twill, denim Pants, jackets, structured dresses,Tote bag
Heavyweight 340 - 400 GSM 10 - 12 oz/yd² Heavy canvas, denim, fleece Jeans, coats, upholstery,Tote Bags
Ultra Heavy Over 400 GSM Over 12 oz/yd² Winter wear, heavy coats,Tote bags Heavy duty denim, waxed cotton

GSM to OZ Conversion Chart Table for Cotton Canvas Fabric Weight

Choosing the right fabric weight is essential for making eco-friendly bags that are both functional and durable. The chart below shows the conversion between OZ (ounces per square yard) and GSM (grams per square meter), along with typical bag types for each weight

OZ (oz/yd²) GSM (g/m²) Typical Bag Example/Use Case
4 136 Lightweight promotional tote bag,Thank you bag,drawsting bag
6 203 Standard reusable shopping bag,Cheap Simple Totes
8 271 Durable grocery bag, drawstring backpack,Brand Shopping Tote bag
10 339 Heavy-duty tote, conference bag
12 407 Sturdy beach bag, multi-purpose carryall
14 475 Heavy canvas tool bag, book bag
16 542 Extra strong laundry bag, equipment bag
18 610 Industrial-use sack, oversized storage bag
20 678 Extra-thick tool bag, heavy-duty duffel

      Tip:

  • Lower GSM/OZ = lighter, more flexible bags (good for giveaways, light shopping).

  • Higher GSM/OZ = stronger, more durable bags (ideal for groceries, tools, or heavy loads).

Jute Bag Measurement by Weave Density

In the bag and luggage industry, jute bags are commonly measured by their weave density—that is, the number of threads per inch in both the warp (lengthwise) and weft (widthwise) directions. This is usually expressed in the format “warp count X weft count” (e.g., 50×50). The higher the numbers, the denser and tighter the weave.

Common Weave Density Specifications

Weave Density (Warp x Weft per 10cm) Description Typical Application
60 x 60 Extra dense, fine High-end bags, premium printing
50 x 50 Dense, standard Standard ,Most factories use this to make Premium shopping/tote bags
45 x 45 Medium-dense Simple shopping bags
40 x 40 Medium General packaging, sacks
35 x 35 Medium-loose Flood control bags, sandbags
26 x 26 Loose Agricultural sacks, bulk bags
16 x 16 Very loose, coarse Heavy-duty, low-cost packaging

Key Points:

  • Warp: Threads running lengthwise (vertical).

  • Weft: Threads running widthwise (horizontal).

  • The numbers indicate the count of threads per inch in each direction.

  • Higher numbers = tighter, stronger, and often more expensive fabric.

Example:
50×50 jute bag means there are 50 threads per inch in both the warp and weft directions, resulting in a strong, dense fabric suitable for premium bags.
