Introduction
In industries where a single leak can cost millions, Leakproof Woven Bags are the last line of defense. This guide peels back the layers of VidePak’s PE liner technology—from resin selection to automated manufacturing—to reveal how we engineer bags that make leaks a statistical impossibility. By blending technical rigor, third-party certifications, and client success stories, we empower procurement teams to protect their cargo, reputation, and bottom line.
1. PE Liner Mastery: From Resin to Impermeable Barrier
1.1 Resin Engineering
Every PE liner begins in VidePak’s ISO 17025-certified lab, where raw materials face:
- Melt Flow Index (MFI) Trials: We reject batches outside 0.2-1.5 g/10min (ASTM D1238), as deviations compromise film consistency.
- Density Grading: Resins are blended to achieve 0.920-0.960 g/cm³ density—a sweet spot balancing flexibility and puncture resistance.
- Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR): <1 cc/m²/day (ASTM D3985) for pharmaceutical-grade liners.
1.2 Co-Extrusion Precision
Our 16 W&H VAREX II extruders push boundaries with:
- 5-Layer Film Architecture: Combines LLDPE (toughness), HDPE (stiffness), and EVOH (oxygen barrier).
- Gauge Control: Laser micrometers ensure ±2% thickness tolerance—a standard 40% tighter than industry averages.
1.3 Bonding Integrity
- Heat Sealing: 40mm seams withstand 98 N/15mm pull tests (ASTM F88), surviving rough handling.
- Adhesive Bonding: FDA-approved solvents create bonds that outlast the bag itself.
2. Automation Edge: Starlinger and W&H Symphony
2.1 Circular Loom Performance
- 100+ Starlinger CS88 Looms: Weave fabric at 1,200 RPM, producing 4.5 tons/day per machine—enough to stretch from Shanghai to Hangzhou monthly.
- Tensile Consistency: <3% variation in fabric strength (ISO 527), critical for load-bearing uniformity.
2.2 Multi-Machine Orchestration
- Extrusion-Lamination Sync: W&H extruders feed Starlinger laminators with <0.5-second latency, ensuring zero material waste.
- Printing Precision: 12 W&H Miraflex presses align PE liners with 0.1mm accuracy—thinner than a human hair.
2.3 Speed Metrics
- Line Speed: 450 meters/minute for 2-ply laminated fabric.
- Daily Output: 1.2 million bags/month from a single shift—enough to fill 120 shipping containers.

4. VidePak’s Technical Moat
4.1 Equipment Dominance
- Extrusion Lines: 16 W&H VAREX II units ensure ±1% thickness tolerance, eliminating weak points.
- Coating Plants: 8 Nordmeccanica machines achieve 12-micron precision—critical for antistatic layers.
4.2 Certifications as Standard
- ISO 22000:2018: Food safety audits by TÜV SÜD engineers.
- FDA 21 CFR 177.1520: PE liners pass 90-day migration tests for spices.
- UN Certification: Type B bags for hazardous materials.
5. The Future of Leak Protection: Smarter, Safer, Faster
5.1 Sensor-Embedded Liners
VidePak’s R&D lab is piloting smart PE films that:
- Detect leaks via pH-sensitive dyes changing color on contact.
- Transmit alerts via NFC chips to forklift operators’ tablets.
5.2 Biodegradable PE
- Oxo-Biodegradable Additives: Liners fragment in 2-5 years (ASTM D6954), reducing landfill burden.
- Compostable Options: EN 13432 certification for organic waste bags.
Conclusion: The VidePak Leakproof Difference
VidePak’s Leakproof Woven Bags aren’t just products—they’re insurance policies. By fusing Starlinger/W&H automation, ASTM-tested materials, and FDA-compliant liners, we deliver measurable value to clients across 40+ countries.
