Canvas Fabric

From Fiber to Finished Product: Unveiling the Full-Link Production Process of Shanghai MIRO's Custom Canvas

Since its establishment in 2001, Shanghai MIRO Import & Export Co., Ltd. has been renowned for eco-friendly wallpapers, wallcoverings, and other architectural decoration materials. However, the advanced coating and finishing production capabilities of its modern factory in Anhui also position it as an exceptional manufacturer in the field of high-quality custom canvas fabrics. The following reveals how MIRO utilizes its professional equipment and processes to complete the perfect transformation from basic fiber to finished canvas.

First Link: Material Selection – High-Quality Fiber as the Foundation

The starting point of customization begins with the selection of fibers. MIRO deeply understands the decisive role of raw materials on the final product's performance. Based on custom requirements (such as natural feel, strength, or weather resistance), we rigorously select high-quality cotton fibers or high-strength polyester filaments. These fibers form the strong "skeleton" of the canvas, ensuring an excellent starting point for the fabric in terms of weight (GSM/OZ), hand feel, and environmental attributes.

Second Link: Craftsmanship Weaving – Building a Strong Skeleton

The selected fibers are spun into yarn and then woven on looms into the initial grey cloth. This step determines the most basic texture, density, and fundamental toughness of the canvas. The calender equipment in the MIRO factory can intervene initially after this stage, performing calendaring finishing on the grey cloth to make its surface smoother and more even, laying a solid foundation for subsequent deep processing.

Third Link: Core Empowerment – Coating and Finishing Processes

This is the core of customized production and where the great strength of the MIRO factory lies. Depending on the customer's requirements for canvas functionality (such as waterproofing, flame retardancy, aging resistance, specific hand feel), the grey cloth enters the crucial finishing workshop.

1. Precision Coating: The three advanced coating production lines owned by MIRO are the "magic stage" for achieving functional customization. Through precise formulations and processes, PU, PVC, acrylic, or other eco-friendly coatings can be applied to the fabric surface. Whether it's single-sided coating, double-sided coating, or permeable coating, it can impart excellent waterproofness, UV resistance, and a unique touch to the canvas.

2. Backcoating Technology: For canvas products that need to be used for lamination or compositing, MIRO's two backglue coating machines can apply adhesives precisely, ensuring firm and uniform adhesion to meet more diverse application scenarios.

3. Special Effect Treatment: Embossing equipment can press various three-dimensional patterns (such as camouflage, wood grain, geometric patterns) onto the coated canvas surface, greatly enhancing the product's aesthetics and added value.

Fourth Link: Stringent Quality Control – Ensuring Every Meter is Excellent

All processed canvas must undergo the final and most criticalscuttling inspection. MIRO's professional quality inspection staff, assisted by inspection equipment, will keenly capture any slight defects during high-speed operation, such as uneven coating, stains, holes, or color differences, ensuring that every roll of canvas delivered to the customer meets the agreed-upon high standards.

Conclusion

Through this full-link production process that integrates material selection, craftsmanship weaving, core coating (3 lines), precision backcoating (2 machines), and stringent quality control, Shanghai MIRO is not just a material producer but a trustworthy solutions partner for its clients. We combine over twenty years of surface treatment technology with advanced equipment to ensure that every meter of custom canvas not only meets specifications but also exceeds expectations in quality and consistency.

Sustainability in Canvas Production: Eco-Friendly Materials and Processes for the Modern Brand

In an era where environmental responsibility is paramount, Shanghai MIRO Import & Export Co., Ltd. stands at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing. Leveraging over two decades of expertise in developing eco-friendly building decoration materials, we have integrated our core values of sustainability and innovation into every aspect of custom canvas production. Our commitment extends beyond functionality to ensure that every meter of canvas reflects our dedication to protecting the planet.

Eco-Conscious Material Selection

At the heart of sustainable canvas production lies material choice. Shanghai MIRO prioritizes the use of organic cotton, which is grown without harmful pesticides, and recycled polyester fibers derived from post-consumer plastic waste. These materials not only reduce reliance on virgin resources but also minimize the environmental footprint of the final product. By offering these green alternatives, we empower modern brands to align their products with their sustainability goals.

Advanced Eco-Friendly Coating Technologies

Our Anhui production facility is equipped with three advanced coating lines capable of applying water-based and solvent-free coatings. Unlike traditional methods that rely on volatile organic compounds (VOCs), our coatings significantly reduce air pollution and workplace hazards. These eco-conscious coatings maintain high performance—delivering waterproofness, durability, and UV resistance—while ensuring compliance with international environmental standards such as OEKO-TEX and GREENGUARD.

Energy-Efficient and Waste-Reducing Production

Sustainability is embedded in our manufacturing processes. Our factory utilizes energy-efficient machinery, including calender and embossing equipment designed to minimize power consumption. We have implemented closed-loop water systems in our coating processes to reduce water usage, and our production planning emphasizes material efficiency to minimize waste. Any residual materials are recycled wherever possible, supporting our circular economy initiatives.

Rigorous Environmental Certifications and Transparency

Shanghai MIRO is committed to transparency and accountability. Our products undergo stringent testing to achieve recognized certifications, providing our clients with verified proof of their sustainable choices. We work closely with brands to trace the origins of materials and provide detailed insights into the ecological impact of their custom canvas, enabling them to share this story with their end consumers.

A Partner for Sustainable Innovation

As a manufacturer with deep roots in eco-friendly material production, Shanghai MIRO offers more than just products—we offer partnership. Our team collaborates with brands to develop custom solutions that balance aesthetic, functional, and environmental objectives. Whether creating canvas for fashion, interior design, or architectural use, we provide the expertise and technology to bring sustainable visions to life.

By choosing Shanghai MIRO, brands invest in a future where quality and sustainability are inseparable. Our integrated approach—from material sourcing to production—ensures that every custom canvas product not only meets the highest performance standards but also contributes to a healthier planet.
