The Complete 90–230 GSM Linen Fabric Guide

Manufacturing, Applications & How to Choose the Right Linen Fabric

(BestLinenFabric.com — From Lifeng Linen Mill)

Introduction: Why GSM Matters When Choosing Linen Fabric

Whether you are a designer, wholesaler, brand, or manufacturer, one of the most important specifications in linen fabric sourcing is GSM (grams per square meter).

Linen is loved for its natural texture, breathability, and durability — but its performance changes significantly depending on the fabric weight. Choosing the wrong GSM often leads to:

  • garments that are too sheer
  • tablecloths that lose structure
  • upholstery fabrics that tear
  • samples that differ from bulk production

To help global buyers make confident decisions, we created the complete 90–230 GSM Linen Fabric Guide, based on the real manufacturing data from our factory Lifeng Textile, one of China’s reliable mid-to-large-scale linen fabric mills (low MOQ, stable bulk quality, and in-stock regular items).

1. What Is GSM and Why Is It Important for Linen Fabric?

GSM (grams per square meter) measures the weight of the fabric.
In linen, GSM determines:

  • thickness
  • drape
  • opacity
  • breathability
  • durability
  • application suitability

Linen is a natural fiber, so GSM accuracy is also a sign of good spinning, weaving, and finishing control.

At BestLinenFabric.com, our production specializes in 90–230 GSM linen, covering the full range needed for apparel, home textiles, and commercial use.
