VidePak’s multiwall laminated woven bags reduce product spoilage by 40%, achieve FDA and EU food-grade compliance, and withstand 50 kg loads with reinforced seams, making them the optimal choice for flour, spices, and food additives. With 16 years of expertise and ISO 22000-certified production lines, VidePak delivers packaging solutions that balance cost, safety, and performance for global food manufacturers.
1. Food Industry Challenges: Why Packaging Matters
Food raw materials like flour, sugar, and additives demand packaging that ensures freshness, prevents contamination, and survives rigorous logistics. Substandard bags lead to moisture absorption, pest infestations, and regulatory non-compliance. VidePak’s multiwall laminated bags address these issues through:
- Barrier Efficiency: BOPP lamination (25–35 microns) reduces moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) to <3 g/m²/day, critical for hygroscopic powders.
- Load Capacity: 12–14 threads/inch weaving density supports 50 kg loads without seam failure (tested per ASTM D5265).
- Certifications: FDA CFR 21, EU 10/2011, and ISO 22000 compliance for direct food contact.
Case Study: A Southeast Asian spice exporter reduced transit damage by 35% using VidePak’s 120 GSM laminated bags with UV-blocking additives, maintaining product integrity during 60-day maritime shipments.

3. Technical Parameters: Tailoring Bags to Food Types
| Material | Recommended Specifications | Critical Performance Metrics |
|---|---|---|
| Wheat Flour | 120 GSM, BOPP lamination, PE liner | MVTR <2 g/m²/day |
| Powdered Sugar | 100 GSM, anti-static coating, valve spout | Seam strength ≥45 N/cm² |
| Curry Blends | 130 GSM, UV-stabilized, 8-color printing | Lightfastness Grade 7 (ISO 105-B02) |
| Citric Acid | 140 GSM, chemical-resistant liner | pH resistance 1–14 |
4. Cost-Benefit Analysis: Balancing Durability and Budget
| Feature | Cost Impact (+/- vs. Standard Bags) | ROI Example |
|---|---|---|
| BOPP Lamination | +15% | 30% longer shelf life → 20% revenue boost |
| PE Inner Liners | +10% | 50% reduction in spoilage claims |
| UV Additives | +8% | 25% fewer returns due to discoloration |
5. FAQs: Addressing Food Manufacturers’ Concerns
Q1: How do laminated bags prevent condensation in humid climates?
A: Our 3-layer structure blocks 99.9% humidity, with MVTR rates certified per ASTM E96.
Q2: Are bags suitable for high-fat additives like cocoa powder?
A: Yes. Anti-grease liners (25 g/m² PE) prevent oil migration, tested per ISO 7875.
Q3: Can we print nutritional labels directly on bags?
A: Absolutely. Our rotogravure printers support 1200 dpi resolution for FDA-compliant labeling.
Q4: What’s the MOQ for custom designs?
A: 5,000 units, with 18-day production cycles using 30+ dedicated printing machines.
