Webbing by the Yard: Strong Straps for Bags and Gear

Flat, Strong and Built to Carry

Webbing is the unsung hero of every bag, belt and piece of outdoor gear you own. This flat woven tape carries weight without stretching out, resists abrasion, and finishes a project with a clean, professional edge. Whether you are replacing a worn tote handle, sewing a dog collar, or rebuilding a seat, the right strapping makes the difference between a project that lasts a season and one that lasts for years.

Choose Your Fiber

• Cotton webbing — soft, matte and easy to sew; great for apron ties, tote handles and apparel details.
• Nylon strapping — high strength with a slight sheen; ideal for backpack straps, leashes and luggage.
• Polypropylene strap — lightweight, water-resistant and budget-friendly for outdoor gear and cargo ties.
• Upholstery seat webbing — heavy jute or elastic tape that supports cushions and chair frames.

What to Look For

Match the width to your hardware — common sizes run from 1/2" to 2" — and check the weave density. A tighter weave means less fraying and better hold under load.
