SOS Bags, also known as Self Opening Sacks or Self Opening Bags, have been an essential part of the packaging industry for years, offering high efficiency and convenience. These bags are widely used in various sectors such as agriculture, chemicals, food, and construction, owing to their sturdy design and ease of use. In this article, we will dive deep into the manufacturing process of Self Opening Woven Bags (SOS Bags), and how our company, VidePak, leverages state-of-the-art equipment from global leaders like Starlinger and W&H to ensure high-quality production.
To understand the performance and reliability of Self Opening Sacks, it’s crucial to look at how these bags are made, from extrusion and drawing to weaving, coating, printing, and bag-making. Each stage of production is crucial for achieving a product that meets the diverse demands of various industries.

Production Process of SOS Bags
1. Extrusion and Drawing
The first step in producing Self Opening Sacks involves the extrusion of polypropylene (PP), a high-quality plastic material known for its durability and flexibility. Using advanced extruders from Starlinger and W&H, the raw PP material is melted and extruded into flat films. This process ensures that the film has the necessary properties for weaving, such as strength, stretch resistance, and the ability to retain its shape under pressure.
The extruded PP film is then drawn through a die to enhance its tensile strength. Drawing aligns the polymer molecules, increasing the strength and flexibility of the fabric. The extrusion process is critical because the physical properties of the polypropylene film directly influence the quality and functionality of the Self Opening Bags.
2. Weaving Process
After extrusion, the polypropylene film is woven into fabric using circular looms. At VidePak, we employ over 150 advanced circular looms sourced from Starlinger. These looms are capable of producing high-strength woven fabrics in various widths and thicknesses, suitable for the specific needs of Self Opening Sacks. The weaving process is essential for providing the bag with the necessary durability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring that the Self Opening Woven Bags can handle heavy-duty applications without breaking or tearing.
3. Coating Process
Once the fabric is woven, the next step is the coating process. This stage involves applying a layer of protective coating to the woven fabric to enhance its resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, UV rays, and abrasions. The coating also helps improve the fabric’s printability, which is crucial for branding and product information. Our state-of-the-art lamination machines, also from Starlinger, ensure that the coating is applied uniformly and effectively, improving the bag’s overall performance.
4. Printing Process
In modern packaging, branding and labeling are vital. Therefore, after the coating process, Self Opening Woven Bags are printed with custom designs, logos, and product information. VidePak uses advanced printing technologies to offer multicolor printing capabilities, allowing businesses to create vibrant and eye-catching designs. With our fleet of 16 printing machines from W&H, we ensure that every Self Opening Sack can meet the branding requirements of any customer.
5. Bag Making
The final stage of production involves converting the woven and printed fabric into bags. This process involves cutting the woven fabric into specific sizes, sewing the edges, and adding features like valves, zippers, or handles, depending on the intended use of the bag. At VidePak, our advanced bag-making machines ensure precise cutting and stitching, resulting in Self Opening Sacks that are both functional and durable.
