The Hybrid Material Revolutionizing Global Supply Chains
Kraft paper laminated with woven fabric has emerged as the preferred packaging solution for industries demanding both ruggedness and printability—handling 120 million tons of cargo annually while reducing plastic use by 35% since 2018. At VidePak, we’ve spent 17 years perfecting these hybrid bags using solar-powered precision and AI-driven laminating systems to meet ISO 22000 standards for Nestlé, BASF, and 900+ global clients. These aren’t ordinary sacks—they’re brand-building powerhouses for pet food, chemicals, and building materials. Let’s explore how we’re redefining hybrid packaging through material science and market customization.
