2.2 Product Customization Capabilities
2.1.2 Structural Engineering
Our production teams configure bags using these parameters:
| Market | Fabric Weight | Coating | Stitching |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | 80-120 g/m² | UV Stabilizer | 8 stitches/inch |
| EU | 70-90 g/m² | Biodegradable | 7 stitches/inch |
| Asia-Pacific | 60-80 g/m² | Moisture Barrier | 6 stitches/inch |
| Africa/ME | 90-130 g/m² | Abrasion Resistant | 9 stitches/inch |
Engineering Insight: Our Starlinger RV 13i extruders maintain ±1 g/m² basis weight control – critical for meeting Nigeria’s 20% import duty threshold on packaging materials.
2.1.3 Printing Solutions
We’ve developed region-specific printing protocols:
- North America: 8-color process printing with bilingual (English/Spanish) hazard labels
- EU: CE marking integration with 27 language options using Esko Automation Engine
- Asia-Pacific: 4-color CMYK with Alibaba-compatible QR traceability codes
- Africa/ME: Monochrome printing with pictogram instructions validated by local partners
Case Study: A Canadian grain exporter reduced customs delays by 92% using our region-specific labeling solutions that comply with Canada’s Consumer Packaging Act.
