FFS Woven Bags: Promoting Sustainable Solutions for Economic and Environmental Efficiency

In an era where businesses face mounting pressure to balance profitability with planetary stewardship, VidePak’s Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) woven bags deliver transformative value: reducing packaging costs by up to 30%, cutting carbon footprints by 40%, and withstanding loads up to 1,000 kg—all while integrating anti-static technologies that meet ATEX safety standards for explosive environments. Leveraging 100+ Starlinger automated production lines and 30+ years of expertise, VidePak sets new benchmarks in sustainable packaging, combining technical precision with ecological responsibility.


1. Technical Specifications: Precision Engineering for Diverse Needs

1.1 Material Parameters Defining Performance

FFS woven bags excel through customizable material configurations:

  • Thickness: 0.08–0.15 mm (optimized for puncture resistance while minimizing material waste).
  • Fabric Weight: 70–150 g/m² (balances strength and cost-efficiency, validated per ASTM D5264).
  • Dimensions: 30 cm x 50 cm to 120 cm x 180 cm (supports applications from retail to bulk industrial).

For example, a 2023 project for a Canadian fertilizer producer required 0.12 mm thick, 120 g/m² bags with 6-color CMYK printing. Using Starlinger’s CX Series machines, we achieved a production speed of 240 bags/minute and a defect rate of 0.2%, outperforming industry averages by 50%.

1.2 Anti-Static Technology: Safeguarding Hazardous Environments

Static electricity poses critical risks in chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. VidePak’s conductive FFS bags neutralize charges through:

  • Carbon-Black Masterbatch: Reduces surface resistivity to 10^8–10^10 Ω/sq (per IEC 61340-4-1).
  • Dissipative Coatings: PE layers with ≤10^9 Ω surface resistance prevent sparking.
  • Structural Design: Cross-woven copper threads in seams for grounding (optional).

A 2024 case study with a German chemical plant demonstrated zero static incidents over 12 months using our ATEX-certified FFS bags for 25 kg peroxide powders.


2. Load Capacity & Durability: Engineering for Real-World Demands

2.1 Dynamic Load Performance

VidePak’s FFS bags withstand:

  • Vertical Loads: Up to 1,000 kg in 6-layer palletized stacks (tested per ISO 21898).
  • Drop Tests: 1.5-meter drops onto concrete without rupture (exceeding ASTM D5276).
  • UV Resistance: 1,500-hour weatherability (ASTM G154) for outdoor storage.

2.2 Cost-Benefit Analysis

  • Material Savings: 0.1 mm thickness reduction saves 12% PP usage per 10,000 bags.
  • Logistics Efficiency: Uniform 90 cm x 60 cm designs optimize container space by 25%.

3. Automation & Sustainability: The Starlinger Advantage

3.1 High-Speed, Low-Waste Production

VidePak’s Starlinger STeP technology integrates:

  • 200+ bags/minute output with ±0.01 mm thickness consistency.
  • Closed-Loop Recycling: 98% PP scrap reutilization, reducing virgin material needs.
  • Energy Efficiency: 30% lower power consumption vs. conventional lines (verified by TÜV Rheinland).

3.2 Environmental Impact Metrics

  • Carbon Reduction: Each ton of recycled PP in FFS bags cuts CO2 emissions by 1.45 tons (per 2023 Plastics Europe data).
  • Water Savings: Dry production processes eliminate wastewater generation.
