Lumber Wrap
Midwest Canvas lumber wrap is manufactured from woven polyethylene and woven polypropylene — superior in tensile strength, puncture resistance, and moisture protection to standard poly film.
Our lumber wrap protects dimensional lumber, OSB, plywood, and engineered wood products from the sawmill through delivery. Available with UV inhibitor treatment, custom printing, and fast lead times.
Lumber Covers
Midwest Canvas lumber covers are sewn from woven polyethylene and woven polypropylene to fit snugly around stacked lumber — delivering a more secure fit than lumber wrap with less fastening required, making them faster to apply and easier to maintain. Woven poly construction resists puncture, moisture, and UV degradation where standard covers fail. Available with custom printing and fast lead times.
Rail Car Tarps
Midwest Canvas rail car tarps are a cost-efficient, single-use solution for protecting lumber during rail shipment. Produced in a standard 32’ x 76’ size, our rail car tarps are available in woven polyethylene combined with string-reinforced polyethylene, or all woven polyethylene — engineered for the wind load, moisture exposure, and handling demands of active rail service. Available with custom printing and fast lead times.
Why woven poly?
Woven polyethylene and woven polypropylene outperform standard poly film in tensile strength, puncture resistance, UV stability, and moisture barrier performance — making them the superior material choice for lumber wrap, lumber covers, and rail car tarps.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is lumber wrap?
Lumber wrap is a protective covering applied around bundles of dimensional lumber, OSB, plywood, and engineered wood products to shield them from moisture, UV exposure, and handling damage during transit and storage. Midwest Canvas lumber wrap is made from woven polyethylene and woven polypropylene for superior strength and protection.
What is the difference between lumber wrap and lumber covers?
Lumber wrap is applied around a bundle at the mill and travels with the load. Lumber covers are sewn to fit snugly over stacked lumber, providing a more secure fit with less fastening. Both Midwest Canvas lumber wrap and lumber covers are made from woven polyethylene or woven polypropylene.
What size are Midwest Canvas rail car tarps?
Midwest Canvas rail car tarps are produced in a standard 32’ x 76’ size, designed to cover lumber loads on standard open-top rail cars with proper overhang for secure tie-down.
What material are your rail car tarps made from?
Midwest Canvas rail car tarps are available in woven polyethylene combined with string-reinforced polyethylene, or all woven polyethylene — both engineered for the strength and weather resistance demands of rail service.
Are Midwest Canvas lumber wrap, lumber covers, and rail car tarps made in the USA?
Yes. Midwest Canvas has the capability to control every step of production domestically — from producing and printing the base material to rewinding, sewing, and sealing the finished product.
