Woven Packaging Solutions: Technical and Material Insights into BOPP Laminated vs. Multi-Wall Bags

For over 17 years, VidePak has engineered high-performance woven packaging solutions, leveraging 30+ years of expertise, Austrian Starlinger machinery, and ISO-certified processes to deliver BOPP Laminated and Multi-Wall Woven Bags that redefine durability and functionality. Our BOPP Laminated Bags achieve tensile strengths of 18–22 N/mm² with moisture resistance <0.5 g/m²/24h, while Multi-Wall variants integrate kraft paper liners and multi-layer laminations to withstand 50 kg dynamic loads—ensuring optimal performance for fertilizers, chemicals, and construction materials. With a global client base spanning 60+ countries and an annual production capacity of 50 million units, VidePak’s commitment to precision and sustainability positions us as a leader in industrial packaging.


Section 1: Manufacturing Process – Precision at Every Stage

1.1 Extrusion & Filament Drawing

VidePak’s 16 extrusion lines, powered by Starlinger’s iQ series extruders, process 100% virgin polypropylene (PP) into uniform filaments. Key steps include:

  • Resin preparation: PP pellets are dried at 80°C to eliminate moisture (humidity <0.02%).
  • Melt extrusion: Temperatures of 230–260°C ensure consistent polymer flow, monitored via infrared sensors to ±1°C accuracy.
  • Filament drawing: Filaments are stretched to 600–1,500 denier (D), achieving a tensile strength of 4–6 N/tex.

Quality Control:

  • Denier consistency: Laser micrometers measure filament diameter every 5 seconds, rejecting deviations >2%.
  • Thermal stability: Real-time DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) ensures crystallinity levels of 60–70% for optimal weave integrity.

1.2 Weaving & Lamination

Using 100+ Starlinger circular looms, filaments are woven into fabric with densities of 10×10 to 14×14 threads/cm. For BOPP Laminated Bags:

  • BOPP film application: 20–50 µm BOPP layers are heat-bonded at 180°C, achieving peel strength >3 N/15mm (ASTM D903).
  • Multi-Wall construction: Kraft paper (80–120 g/m²) or PE-coated liners are laminated via W&H Prolamat adhesives, ensuring delamination resistance >90% (ISO 2411).

Quality Control:

  • Weave uniformity: CCD cameras inspect for skipped threads or irregularities, with <0.1% defect tolerance.
  • Adhesion testing: Samples undergo 48-hour humidity cycling (40°C, 95% RH) to validate bond integrity.

Section 2: Material & Structural Comparison

2.1 BOPP Laminated Woven Bags

  • Applications: Ideal for hygroscopic materials like urea or cement due to IP67 waterproof ratings and UV resistance (1,200+ hours, ISO 4892-3).
  • Key Parameters:
  • Weight: 80–150 g/m²
  • Load capacity: 25–50 kg
  • Print quality: 8-color CMYK with 0.2 mm registration accuracy.

2.2 Multi-Wall Woven Bags

  • Applications: Suited for abrasive aggregates (e.g., sand) with kraft paper liners (Mullen burst strength 200–300 kPa) and anti-static coatings (10⁶–10⁹ Ω/sq).
  • Key Parameters:
  • Layers: 2–5 plies with PE or aluminum foil interlayers
  • Stackability: 12-layer pallet capacity
  • Reusability: 15+ cycles.

Section 3: Quality Assurance & Sustainability

3.1 Advanced Quality Systems

  • Starlinger’s IoT-enabled looms: Generate real-time data on thread tension (±5% tolerance) and weave density.
  • In-line spectroscopy: Detects CaCO₃ filler content (5–20%) to ensure chemical stability.

3.2 Eco-Conscious Production

  • Closed-loop recycling: 98% PP scrap is reprocessed into non-woven fabrics.
  • Solar-powered lines: VidePak’s 2 MW rooftop solar array reduces CO₂ emissions by 1,200 tons annually.

Section 4: Client FAQs

Q1: How do I choose between BOPP Laminated and Multi-Wall Bags?
A: For humid environments (e.g., Southeast Asia), BOPP’s waterproofing excels. For heavy-duty abrasives (e.g., construction aggregates), Multi-Wall’s layered structure is optimal.

Q2: Are your bags compliant with EU food-grade standards?
A: Yes. Our FDA 21 CFR-compliant PP and soy-based inks meet EU Regulation 10/2011 for direct food contact.

Q3: What certifications ensure manufacturing quality?
A: VidePak holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and BRC GSV certifications, with third-party audits by SGS and TÜV.


Section 5: Global Compliance & Case Studies

  • EU EN 277: BOPP bags exceed tensile requirements (≥15 N/mm² vs. 18–22 N/mm²).
  • US ASTM D5260: Multi-Wall bags achieve puncture resistance >55 J/m.
  • Case Study: A Nigerian fertilizer producer reduced spoilage by 40% using our BOPP Laminated Bags with UV stabilizers.
