Simply put, woven polypropylene is the best material for
making bags, especially bags which will contain large quantities
of granular or small-sized products such as pet food, rice,
seeds, charcoal, kitty litter, grain, cement, fertilizer, dry
chemicals, powdered minerals such as gypsum, potatoes, and other
similar products.
Woven polypropylene bags offer many advantages over paper and
jute.:
- Lighter weight
- Much greater bursting strength
- Better pest resistance
- Resistance to tearing
- Reusable
- Can be air permeable and moisture,
pollutants, bacteria, mildew, and oil resistant
- Properties do not degrade if wet
- Less expensive
For these reasons, more and more companies are packing their
products in polypropylene. This has been especially true in the
B2B arena where appearances are not as important as cost and
performance.
Companies who market to the consumer have not been as quick to
make the switch because paper has, up-to-now, been a far better
medium for bright and crisp graphics. However, with our new
process of three-layer bag-making, our graphics are the same as
for paper. So now companies can enjoy the benefits of woven
polypropylene while giving the customer hard-hitting and
beautiful graphics--and all at a lower cost.
