FAQs
What is the width of this bag strap webbing?
The Prym Bag Strap Webbing is 40mm wide.
What colors are available?
This webbing is available in beige, blue, and red.
Can I use this for a heavy backpack?
While durable, it is best suited for shoulder bags, tote bags, and lighter rucksacks. For very heavy loads, consider reinforcing the attachment points or using even sturdier strap materials.
How do I prevent the ends from fraying?
After cutting the webbing to your desired length, carefully use a lighter or heat gun to melt and seal the raw edges. This stops the fibers from unraveling.
Is this webbing machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash this webbing. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best method for care. If necessary, hand wash in cool water and air dry.
Can I dye this webbing a different color?
The webbing is made from synthetic materials, and dyeing is generally not effective or recommended. It's best to choose from the available color options.
Troubleshooting
Webbing frays after cutting
Ensure cut ends are immediately sealed using a lighter or heat source to melt and secure the fibers. Always use sharp cutting tools.
Stitching is not holding the webbing securely
Use a heavy-duty sewing machine needle and strong polyester or nylon thread. Reinforce stitching by sewing over the attachment points multiple times in different directions.
Color transfer onto fabric
Test a small, inconspicuous area first, especially with darker colors. Avoid prolonged contact with very light-colored or absorbent materials when the webbing is wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure and Cut: Determine the desired strap length and cut the webbing to size using sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. Seal the cut ends with a flame (carefully!) to prevent fraying.
- Attach to Bag: Securely attach the webbing to your bag project using a heavy-duty sewing machine and strong thread. Ensure stitches are reinforced at both ends for maximum durability.
Compatibility:
- This webbing is compatible with a wide range of bag fabrics, including canvas, denim, faux leather, and heavier cottons.
- It is ideal for medium to large-sized bags such as tote bags, shoulder bags, messenger bags, and casual backpacks.
Care:
- For minor cleaning, spot-clean the webbing with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- If the entire strap needs washing, hand wash in cool water and allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this may damage the material or its color.
