Custom Tool Pouch Materials: Which Fabric Lasts the Longest?

It’s all in the fabric The fabric you choose is going to have a big impact on how long your tool pouch lasts. At Ninesun we understand the importance of a tool pouch that's going to stay strong and outlast even your most difficult jobs. It is something that can be heavy and sharp, and people want something that will not easily wear down or tear. The right material can make a world of difference. Certain fabrics are better than others at handling this rough use, but understanding which ones stand up over time allows you to make the most of your pouch. Here we’re going to discuss two such materials that are used very often in the making of custom tool pouch and how thin as thicker fabric can play a role in the longevity of just how long a pouch actually lasts. 

Why Do Nylon and Canvas Stand Out as Quality Custom Tool Pouch Materials? 

Nylon and canvas can both be hearty fabrics, here’s what we love about them for tool pouches. Nylon is synthetic, meaning it is water resistant and quick drying. That’s nice if you’re working outdoors or in wet environments. Nylon can withstand heavy usage without tearing with ease. It’s also lightweight, so the electricians tool pouch itself won’t get too heavy when packed full of tools. But occasionally nylon can thin when rubbed a lot against rough patches, so quality and weave count. Canvas is cotton, or a cotton blend, so it’s heavier and more rugged. It’s ultra-tough, and you can beat it up without causing it to tear. Water doesn’t bounce off canvas the way it does with nylon, but you can treat it to be more water-resistant. 

How does fabric weight impact the life of custom tool pouches? 

Fabric weight is a measure of how heavy or thick the cloth is; it is typically measured in ounces per square yard. Very simply, the heavier the fabric the thicker and more robust. When it comes to tool pouches, thicker fabric generally lasts longer because it simply stands up against wear better. Thicker fabric can also add weight to the pouch and, in some cases, make it less flexible; heavy or restrictive materials may not feel comfortable for everyone. For instance, the 600D nylon is thicker and tougher than a 300D one; hence the pouch tool belt constructed with 600D will generally be more tear or scratch resistant. Canvas is usually sold in different weights, such as 10 oz or 18 oz per yard; the higher weight means a more durable fabric. At Ninesun, we personally choose fabric weights that offer excellent durability and workability, yet are stable to turn nicely. Sometimes a pouch that’s constructed of different weights works best — heavy-ish fabric where tools rest, lighter where you need flex. Weight of the fabric also has bearing on how well seams and stitches wear. If the fabric is too light, but the stitches are set to a strong tension, it may actually tear before the thread will be pulled apart. 

What Are The Custom Tool Pouch Wholesale Problems With Cords? 

When purchasing custom tool pouches in bulk, the type of fabric is what you need to consider. What many don’t consider is that the type of fabric can contribute to issues that render the pouch less useful or break easily. Here at Ninesun, we know that by knowing these common fabric problems will enable customers to select the appropriate pouch for a long life. 

That makes it a warranty battle to the death, because one big problem with fabric is that it can wear out fast. Some materials can get thin or torn after hauling heavy tools around for a period of time. This is a clear indicator that your pouch will no longer secure its tools safely. A second issue is that some fabrics fade or shift in color as they are used outside, or sprayed with cleaning solutions. That makes the pouch look tired and dated fast. 

And some fabrics can retain water very well. This can make for a heavy, soggy pouch that is awkward to wear and ruin tools inside. If the fabric stays wet for an extended period, it may begin to stink or develop mold. That is no good if you are a worker who uses pouches every day. 

The Advantages of Waterproof Fabrics In Custom Tool Pouch Wholesale Market  

When custom making tool case pouches for those tools, waterproof can be a key factor. For Ninesun, we usually suggest waterproof materials because they keep also the pouch and its interior tools from it. This can be particularly valuable for workers in regions where they work with rain, spills or wetness each day. 

One of the major advantages of waterproof fabric is that it blocks water from getting in. And that means if you’re working outside or in wet locations, your tools stay dry and secure. Dry tools last longer and work better. If a pouch is not waterproof, water can seep in and cause rust to form on tools, which will then break and wear out faster. 

Waterproof materials also keep the pouch clean. Waterproof materials don’t accumulate dirt and mud as readily, so at the end of a long day it is easy to wipe the pouch clean. That makes the tool pouch look nice for long, which is good for workers who’d hate to show up at the jobsite looking like a real beginner. 

And another thing that I like about waterproof fabric is that it often feels stronger and more robust. Which is to say the pouch will withstand rugged use without tearing or wearing thin right away. In Ninesun, we utilize waterproof materials that are not only durable but also lightweight. This gives the tool pouch great capacity no matter how long you are wearing it. 

How to Choose the Right Material for Durable Custom Tool Pouches in Bulk? 

Selecting the best fabric for custom tool pouches is crucial, particularly when you are purchasing in bulk. At Ninesun, we assist customers with information on what to look for so they get pouches that last a long time and perform beautifully every day. Here’s are some easy ways to find the best fabric for you. 

First, consider the strength of the fabric. High quality tool pouch fabric should be durable and tough enough to carry sharp or heavy tools without ripping. You could always ask the vendor about the weight or thickness of the fabric? The thicker the fabric, the more durable it generally is. Ninesun Using fabrics that go through vigorous testing for durability, Ninesun does not make easily ripped pouches.
