VidePak’s FFS (Form-Fill-Seal) roll bags redefine bulk packaging efficiency by merging precision engineering with scalable production capabilities. With a 30% increase in filling speed, 15% material savings, and compliance with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) standards, these bags are engineered for industries requiring high-volume, high-consistency packaging. Supported by 30+ years of expertise and a 2 MW solar-powered facility, VidePak delivers 50 million FFS roll bags annually to clients in agriculture, chemicals, and food processing.
1. What Are FFS Roll Bags?
FFS roll bags are pre-formed tubular packaging solutions supplied in continuous rolls, designed for automated filling, sealing, and cutting. Unlike traditional pre-made bags, FFS technology integrates three steps into one seamless process:
- Forming: Polypropylene (PP) fabric is shaped into tubes.
- Filling: Product is dispensed at rates up to 12 MT/hour.
- Sealing: Ultrasonic or thermal sealing ensures airtight closure.
Key Industries:
- Agriculture: Fertilizers, seeds (e.g., 25 kg urea bags).
- Chemicals: Powders, resins (e.g., titanium dioxide).
- Food: Flour, sugar (hygiene-certified variants).
For example, a 2023 project with a Brazilian soy exporter utilized VidePak’s BOPP laminated FFS roll bags to reduce packaging waste by 22% while maintaining ISO 22000 food safety compliance.
2. Design Features: Engineering for Efficiency and Durability
2.1 Material Composition
- Base Fabric: 100% virgin PP woven fabric (GSM 90–220, customizable).
- Lamination: 3-layer BOPP/PP/PE lamination enhances moisture resistance (tested at ≤0.5 g/m²/24h vapor transmission).
- Additives: UV stabilizers (for 18-month outdoor storage) and anti-static coatings (for explosive powders).
2.2 Sealing Technology
| Method | Strength (N/15mm) | Speed (m/min) | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultrasonic Sealing | 45–55 | 25–30 | Fine powders, hygroscopic |
| Heat Sealing | 35–45 | 30–35 | Granules, non-sensitive |
| Cold Seal (PSA) | 25–30 | 35–40 | Heat-sensitive products |
- Seam Width: 10–15 mm (double-seamed for hazardous materials).
- Printing: Up to 8-color flexography with ≤0.1 mm registration accuracy.
2.3 ESG Integration in Design
VidePak’s FFS roll bags align with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through:
- Material Recyclability: 100% PP recyclable via Starlinger’s recoSTAR system.
- Energy Efficiency: Solar-powered production reduces CO₂ emissions by 380 tons/year.
- Ethical Labor Practices: 5S management ensures worker safety (zero accidents in 2023).
3. Quantity Optimization: Balancing Volume and Cost
FFS roll bags minimize material waste and maximize storage density. Key metrics include:
- Roll Length: 1,000–5,000 meters (customizable).
- Bag Dimensions: 500–1,200 mm width, 800–2,500 mm height.
- Stacking Efficiency: ≤5% deformation under 4-layer stacking (per ASTM D5276).
Case Study: A European chemical distributor reduced warehouse space by 18% by switching to VidePak’s narrow-web FFS roll bags (450 mm width, 3,000 m/roll).
