The Sustainability Evolution: Where Performance Meets Planet
Modern packaging requires solutions that balance industrial durability with ecological responsibility. Woven Bags have become pivotal for industries facing this dual challenge:
- Agricultural suppliers needing 50kg-capacity bags with UV resistance
- Chemical manufacturers requiring ASTM D3786-compliant burst strength
- Retail brands seeking 8-color printing that maintains recyclability
At VidePak, we’ve redefined sustainable packaging through our 3-Pillar Material Engineering Framework:
- Virgin Resin Optimization: 100% PP/PE particles from BASF and Sinopec
- Kraft Paper Innovation: FSC-certified fibers with 20% PCR content
- Closed-Loop Recycling: 99.7% material utilization via Starlinger systems
This approach achieves 92% recyclability while maintaining 800N burst strength – critical for circular economy adoption.
Material Science Breakthroughs: From Resin to Reclamation
Our engineering team ensures technical excellence through:
2.1 Raw Material Specifications
| Component | Supplier | Specification | Certification |
|---|---|---|---|
| PP Particles | BASF/Sinopec | MFI 2.5-4.0 g/10min (ASTM D1238) | ISO 1133, FDA 21 CFR §177.1520 |
| PE Coating | LyondellBasell | Density 0.925g/cm³ (ASTM D1505) | ISO 1183, EU No. 1935/2004 |
| Kraft Paper | Stora Enso | 80-150g/m² basis weight (ISO 536) | FSC-C023211, EN 647 |
Quality Control: All materials undergo 100% inspection per ISO 2859-1 standards.
2.2 Printing Durability Protocol
- Ink System: UV-cured pigments with 4+ rub resistance (ASTM D5264)
- Curing Process: Mercury lamps with 1,200mJ/cm² energy output
- Color Fastness: 7+ grade lightfastness (ISO 105-B02)
Certification: GRACoL 2013 compliance for color management.
Equipment Advantage: Precision Through Engineering
Our 568-person team operates a campus featuring:
