2. What Is Burlap Fabric?
Burlap fabric is a coarse, strong textile typically woven from jute, cotton, hemp, or synthetic fibers. Its dense weave structure gives it exceptional resistance to abrasion, tension, and tearing.

Exceptional tensile strength and tear resistance
Breathable and air-permeable structure
Resistance to moisture and environmental wear
Available in both plain and patterned designs
Produced in various weights and densities to meet different industrial needs
