What Are BOPP Woven Bags?
Walk down an agrifeed aisle in São Paulo, stroll past the fertiliser pallets in Rotterdam, or click through an e-commerce page in Guangzhou and you will encounter the gleam of BOPP Woven Bags: VidePak’s Expertise and Commitment to Superior Craftsmanship—hereafter simplified to BOPP Woven Bags. Industry jargon also calls them BOPP-laminated woven sacks, photo-grade PP pouches, or retail billboard bags, yet their DNA is constant: a warp-and-weft polypropylene skeleton wrapped in high-definition biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film. The woven core supplies forklift-proof musculature; the BOPP veneer supplies catwalk-worthy graphics—allowing a single package to haul 25 kg of ammonium sulphate while looking ready for a boutique shelf.
Key Features of BOPP Woven Bags
| Metric | Typical Range* | Brand & Supply-Chain Upside |
|---|---|---|
| Print Resolution | up to 85 LPI, 8-colour rotogravure | On-shelf presence rivals folding carton campaigns |
| WVTR (ASTM F1249, 38 °C/90 % RH) | ≤ 0.8 g m⁻² day⁻¹ | Stops caking in monsoon climates; fewer warranty claims |
| Strip Tensile (ASTM D5034) | ≥ 850 N warp / ≥ 800 N weft | Survives pallet crush and conveyor abuse |
| Gloss Level (60°) | 85 GU | Mirror-like sheen amplifies perceived value |
| Drop Test (ASTM D5276, 1 m) | > 98 % pass | Reduces spill clean-ups and insurance headaches |

Dual-Persona Construction – Inside, woven PP tapes deliver a 5× safety factor; outside, BOPP delivers billboard vibrancy. One soul, two talents.
Moisture-Locking Shield – A 25 µm LDPE tie-layer + BOPP skin pushes WVTR below 1 g m⁻² day⁻¹—critical for hygroscopic fertilisers and salt-laden pet food. Moisture stays out, margins stay in.
Seam-to-Seam Strength – Hot-air or ultrasonic bottoms achieve ≥ 82 % seam efficiency, eclipsing traditional chain-stitch by 15 points. Result: fewer split bags, calmer logistics managers.
Circular-Economy Ready – When printed with non-halogenated inks, BOPP Woven Bags earn RecyClass Grade B, feeding perfectly into emerging PP recycling streams across the EU and ASEAN.
How VidePak Produces BOPP Woven Bags
- Virgin & PCR Resin Selection VidePak blends Borealis RA130E virgin pellets with up to 30 % ISCC-PLUS certified PCR, guided by inline rheometers that hold MFR at 3.0 ± 0.2 g·10 min⁻¹. Sustainability meets machinability.
- Fine-Denier Tape Extrusion Sixteen Starlinger lines extrude 3 mm tapes at 260 °C, stretch them 6.3×, then anneal to lock a warp tensile of 850 N. IoT tension sensors whisper adjustments in real time—vertical integration borrowed from aerospace carbon weaving.
- Circular Weaving One hundred German W&H looms interlace tapes into 12 × 12 epi fabric; laser pick counters keep ±1 pick fidelity, a prerequisite for micro-registration prints.
- Surface Activation Corona treat at 46 dyn cm⁻¹ so ink molecules cling like geckos on glass. Horizontal learning from flexible electronics adhesion.
- Reverse Rotogravure Printing BOPP film accepts up to eight colours at 85 LPI; optical registers hold 0.05 mm, even for hair-line Hanzi strokes. Metallics, matte-gloss interplay, or tactile varnish? All on the menu.
- Extrusion Lamination A 25 µm LDPE tie-layer fuses film to fabric at 290 °C, achieving a peel strength ≥ 3.5 N 15 mm⁻¹. Bond-line analytics feed MES dashboards; any drift triggers auto-tune.
- Cutting & Conversion Servo cutters shape bodies; bottoms seal by hot-air tape or ultrasonic block. Valve, open-mouth, or zip-top formats roll off the line at 85 bags min⁻¹.
- Quality Orchestration Every lot runs the gauntlet—ΔE < 2 colour audit, WVTR, 1 m drop, and strip tensile. Failures route to root-cause rooms, not shipping docks.

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) woven bags have become a standout solution for packaging in supermarkets and retail stores. Their unique construction combines strength, cost-efficiency, and superior customization, making them the ideal choice for industries like agriculture and food retail. VidePak, a leader in woven bag manufacturing, has established its reputation by integrating cutting-edge technology and adhering to strict quality standards.
Why Choose BOPP Woven Bags?
BOPP woven bags consist of a BOPP film laminated onto a woven polypropylene base. This combination results in a highly durable, moisture-resistant, and visually appealing product. Compared to alternatives like PE or PET bags, BOPP woven bags excel in several ways:
- Superior Strength and Durability
The woven polypropylene fabric ensures exceptional tensile strength, making these bags capable of handling heavy loads like rice, flour, and pet food. This strength comes from the woven structure that distributes weight evenly, reducing the risk of tearing or puncturing. - Cost-Efficiency
BOPP woven bags offer a lower cost per unit in bulk production compared to PE or PET bags. Their production process uses less material while maintaining high durability, making them a budget-friendly option for manufacturers and retailers. - Customizable and Branding-Friendly
BOPP woven bags support high-quality multicolor printing, allowing businesses to showcase intricate designs and vibrant branding. This enhances product visibility and shelf appeal, a critical factor in competitive retail environments.
Applications in Supermarkets and Stores
BOPP woven bags are widely used for packaging items such as rice, flour, starch, and pet food. These applications demand packaging that ensures product safety, maintains quality, and meets consumer expectations. Here’s how BOPP woven bags outperform alternatives:
| Feature | BOPP Woven Bags | PE/PET Bags |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Efficiency | Lower cost per unit for bulk packaging | Higher production costs |
| Moisture Resistance | Laminated surface prevents moisture infiltration | High resistance but more expensive |
| Strength | High tensile strength suitable for heavy goods | Lower strength, prone to tearing under weight |
| Breathability | Optional ventilation prevents spoilage in dry goods | Limited breathability, moisture risks for grains |
| Branding | High-resolution printing supports intricate designs | Limited print quality |
For instance, in pet food packaging, the high tensile strength of BOPP woven bags ensures safe transportation of heavy and bulky products. Similarly, for food items like flour and rice, the moisture-resistant laminate layer protects contents from humidity, maintaining freshness during storage and transit.
