Block bottom PP woven bags deliver 25–40% higher stacking stability and 15–30% increased container load density compared to flat-bottom designs, making them the optimal choice for bulk material transport in agriculture, construction, and chemicals. With 30+ years of manufacturing expertise, VidePak leverages Austrian Starlinger circular looms and 200-ton hydraulic balers to produce ISO 9001-certified bags that withstand up to 50 kg dynamic loads while maximizing shipping efficiency through precision palletization and shrink-wrapping technologies.
1. Structural Superiority: The Science Behind Block Bottom Designs
The block bottom (square base) configuration revolutionizes traditional PP woven bags through:
- Enhanced Base Rigidity: Triple-layer reinforced seams with 12×14 weave density (1500D yarns) prevent seam bursting under ASTM D5035 tensile tests (≥4,500 N).
- Optimized Volume Utilization: 90° right-angle bases enable 2.8-meter stacking heights vs. 2.2 meters for flat-bottom bags, increasing warehouse storage efficiency by 27%.
- Automated Filling Compatibility: Precision-cut valve openings (8–12 cm) align with pneumatic filling systems at 1,200 bags/hour throughput.
Case Study: A Brazilian soybean exporter reduced shipping costs by 18% using VidePak’s 90×120 cm block bottom bags, achieving 980 bags per 40ft container vs. 740 with conventional designs.
2. Critical Product Parameters: Balancing Strength and Cost
VidePak’s engineering team tailors bag specifications to operational demands:
A. Material Composition
| Parameter | Standard Range | Industry Application |
|---|---|---|
| Yarn Denier | 900–1800D | 900D for rice; 1500D for cement |
| Weave Density | 10×10 to 14×14 strands/inch | 12×12 for fertilizers; 14×14 for abrasive minerals |
| Lamination | BOPP (18–30μm) / PE (50–80μm) | BOPP for moisture-sensitive grains; PE for chemical resistance |
B. Load-Bearing Performance
| Bag Size (cm) | Max Static Load (kg) | Dynamic Load (ASTM D5265) |
|---|---|---|
| 50×80 | 40 | 35 |
| 60×90 | 50 | 45 |
| 90×120 | 70 | 60 |
Example: VidePak’s 60×90 cm bags with 14×14 weaves and 1500D yarns carry 50 kg cement loads with <1% elongation after 10,000 fatigue cycles (ISTA 3A testing).
3. Logistics Innovation: 200-Ton Balers and Smart Palletization
VidePak’s integrated packaging system enhances supply chain efficiency:
- High-Pressure Baling: 200-ton balers compress bulk bags to 0.85–0.92 g/cm³ density, enabling 22–25 MT per container vs. 18–20 MT with manual packing.
- Robotic Palletizing: Automated systems arrange 120 bags/pallet (1.2×1.0m footprint) with ±2mm positioning accuracy.
- Shrink-Wrapping: 80μm LLDPE stretch film with UV inhibitors protects against humidity and dust during 45-day maritime shipping.
Case Study: A Nigerian fertilizer distributor eliminated moisture damage claims by adopting VidePak’s BOPP-laminated block bottom bags + shrink-wrapped pallets, reducing cargo losses from 4.2% to 0.7%.
4. Customization for Global Compliance
A. Regional Standard Alignment
| Market | Key Standards | VidePak Adaptations |
|---|---|---|
| EU | EN 15507:2016 (Static load) | Anti-static yarns (≤10^10 Ω) |
| US | ASTM D5265-18 (Dynamic load) | UV stabilizers (HALS-3, 0.5% loading) |
| Japan | JIS Z 1539:2020 (Seam strength) | Food-grade PP resins (FDA 21 CFR 177.1520) |
B. Printing & Branding
- Full-Surface CMYK/Pantone Printing: 1440 dpi resolution with ≤1.5 ΔE color deviation.
- QR Code Integration: Laser-etched tracking codes withstand abrasion (ISO 2836 rub resistance).
