Breathable Woven Bags: Engineering Airflow for Agricultural Excellence

When Freshness Meets Functionality: The Breathable Packaging Revolution

Modern agriculture demands packaging that acts as a living system. Breathable Woven Bags have become indispensable for:

• Potato farmers battling condensation during transatlantic shipments
• Coffee roasters requiring humidity-controlled fermentation
• Onion growers needing temperature-regulated storage

At VidePak, we’ve perfected respiration engineering through our 3-Stage Airflow System:

1. Material Selection: Virgin PP resins with 0.91g/cm³ density for optimal porosity
2. Weave Optimization: 8×8 to 14×14 mesh counts creating controlled micro-vents
3. Coating Application: Hydrophilic treatments enabling 1,200-1,800 L/m²/s airflow

This system achieves 15-25% oxygen transmission rates while maintaining 800N burst strength (ASTM D3786) – critical for produce requiring metabolic respiration during 30-day voyages.
