Woven Bags with PE Liner: Engineering Protection, Performance, and Branding

Woven Bags with PE Liner have emerged as the gold standard in industrial packaging, seamlessly blending polypropylene’s structural integrity with polyethylene’s moisture-defying properties. These bags, also known as Laminated Woven Sacks or Multi-Layer Pouches, are engineered to protect contents from humidity, contamination, and physical stress while offering unmatched branding opportunities. This article delves into their structural advantages, customization strategies, and why VidePak’s solutions are trusted by industries requiring zero-compromise packaging.

1.1 Layered Innovation: How PE Liners Redefine Protection

1.1.1 Three-Tier Construction

• Outer Shell: 90–120 g/m² PP woven fabric (400–600 denier) with 450 N/5cm tensile strength (ISO 527-3).
• Barrier Layer: 15–30 micron PE liner for 99% moisture resistance (FDA 21 CFR 177.1520).
• Optional Enhancements:
  • Aluminum Foil: 7 micron for 0.01 cc/m²/day oxygen transmission rate (OTR) (ASTM F1249).
  • EVOH Film: 12 micron for 99.9% oxygen blockage (ISO 14678).

1.1.2 Lamination Techniques

• Extrusion Coating: 200–300°C process for 0.15mm bond precision (ISO 14616).
• Dry Bonding: Solvent-free adhesives achieving 99.9% adhesion (ASTM D3359).
• UV Coating: 2% carbon black additives for 6-month outdoor durability (ASTM G154).

1.1.3 Performance Metrics

Parameter	Value	Test Standard
Tensile Strength	450 N/5cm	ISO 527-3
Burst Pressure	700 kPa	ASTM D3786
Moisture Barrier	0.05 g/m²/day	ASTM F1249

• Aluminum Foil Liners:
  • Ideal For: Pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and light-exposed products.
  • Barrier: 0.01 cc/m²/day OTR, 99.9% UV blockage.
  • Compliance: Meets EU’s Annex I for hazardous materials.

1.2.2 Valve Design Optimization

• Standard Spout: 100mm diameter for 25–50 kg fills (95% dust retention).
• Wide-Mouth Spout: 150mm diameter for 50–75 kg bulk goods (92% dust retention).
• Emergency Seal: Self-locking valves for spill prevention during transit.

1.2.3 Branding & Regulatory Compliance

• Flexo Printing: 8-color process with UV-cured inks for durable labels.
• Safety Markings: OSHA-compliant hazard placards, bilingual warnings.
• Tamper Evidence: 3mm perforations for easy opening detection.
