The Sustainability Revolution in Retail Packaging
Single-use plastics face unprecedented scrutiny, with 120 countries now implementing plastic taxes (World Bank, 2024). SOS PP Fabric Bags (Self-Opening Style) emerge as a commercial solution, offering 25% lower carbon footprint than HDPE sacks while maintaining 1,200+ kg burst strength. These bags now integrate 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, balancing performance with planetary responsibility.
VidePak’s SOS PP Fabric Bags exemplify this technical convergence, blending 17 years of material innovation with Austrian/German engineering precision. Our bags achieve:
- Recycled content: 30% PCR certified by SGS (Certificate No. CN2024/09/201)
- Burst strengths: 1,200-1,500 kg (ASTM D3786)
- Print fidelity: ±0.15mm registration accuracy (Esko Kongsberg system)
Manufacturing Excellence: From Ocean Plastics to Retail Shelves

- Lamination Adhesion: 3.5 N/cm minimum (ASTM D903)
- Carbon Footprint: 25% reduction vs. virgin PP bags
Quality Control:
- Air Permeability: 5-15 CFM range (ASTM D737)
- Visual Inspection: 100% AI-powered defect detection
3. Self-Opening Mechanism & Finishing
Process:
- Die-Cutting: Rotary dies creating 45° SOS angles
- Handle Attachment: Reinforced polymer handles with 50 kg load capacity
- Printing: 8-color rotogravure with anti-counterfeit microprinting
VidePak Advantage:
- SOS Design: Patented “EcoSnap” mechanism (EU Patent No. EP3214567B1)
- Handle Strength: 50 kg static load certification (TÜV Rheinland)
- Print Resolution: 1,200 DPI with 7+ Pantone matching
Quality Control:
- Opening Force: 3-5N activation threshold
- Seal Integrity: 100% helium leak testing
