The global packaging industry has been evolving rapidly, with a strong focus on high-quality, durable, and sustainable solutions. Among the innovative packaging products leading this transformation are Laminated Woven Bags, which offer an exceptional blend of strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. These bags are extensively used across various industries, from agriculture to construction, to food packaging. As a leader in the woven bag industry, VidePak has positioned itself at the forefront of Laminated Woven Sacks production, offering products that meet the most stringent international standards.
In this blog post, we will explore the Laminated Woven Bags, focusing on the multi-layered co-extrusion blown film process used in their production, and discuss how VidePak ensures product quality through adherence to global standards such as ISO, ASTM, European EN, REACH regulations, and Japan’s JIS.
Understanding Laminated Woven Bags and the Multi-Layered Co-Extrusion Process
Laminated Woven Bags are made from woven polypropylene (PP) fabric that is coated with a thin layer of plastic film, often BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene). This lamination process enhances the durability, water resistance, and overall quality of the bag. These bags are ideal for packaging dry goods, chemicals, and other products that require high strength and protection from the elements.
The manufacturing process of Laminated Woven Bags typically involves multi-wall woven bags that are produced using a multi-layered co-extrusion blown film process. This process allows for the production of several layers of polymer materials, each serving a specific purpose. Here are some key steps in the manufacturing process:
- Polymer Selection: The first step involves selecting high-quality polypropylene pellets. These pellets are melted and extruded into thin films.
- Co-Extrusion: Multiple layers of polymer are extruded simultaneously using a co-extrusion process. Each layer serves a specific purpose, such as strength, durability, moisture resistance, or printability.
- Blown Film: The co-extruded layers are then expanded through a blown film process, creating a bubble that is cooled and solidified.
- Lamination: The film is laminated onto the woven polypropylene fabric, combining the strength of the woven material with the enhanced properties of the laminated plastic.
- Printing and Finishing: The laminated woven sacks are then printed with logos, designs, and other branding elements. Additionally, features like gussets, handles, and valve openings can be customized.
The use of multi-wall woven bags in this process adds an extra level of durability, ensuring the bags can handle heavy loads, resist punctures, and protect the contents from moisture and environmental factors.
