Frequently Asked Questions About Webbing & Belting

What Is Webbing?

Webbing is a strong, tightly woven strip of fabric used to make bag straps, handles, belting and more. Its tight weave makes this material very strong and durable.

Which Webbing Material Should I Use For Bag Straps?

Each webbing material offers its own advantages. Polypropylene webbing is versatile, strong, colorfast, and economical–a great choice for everyday bag projects like tote bags and backpacks. Nylon webbing is the strongest option, also known for its smooth, shiny appearance. It’s often used for larger items like luggage because of its strength and items like crossbody bags, fanny packs, and backpacks for a more high-end look. Cotton webbing is not as strong as the other styles, but it offers a more natural look, a softer feel against the skin, and the ability to dye the material. It’s a great option for everyday bag projects with a more natural look and pairs well with woven materials like canvas.

How Do You Finish Cut Webbing?

Any style of webbing tape can be finished with stitching, but webbing straps made of synthetic materials can also be finished using heat. When gently heated or cut with a heated cutting tool, the cut end of Polypropylene or Nylon webbing will melt, sealing off the fibers and preventing fraying. Cotton Webbing will not melt when heated, so it should be finished using another technique or combination of techniques such as sealing with Fray Check, zigzag stitching, or folding and stitching the ends. No matter which webbing you use, be sure to finish off the ends after cutting, as webbing straps will fray and can even unravel when cut.
