VidePak’s BOPP laminated woven bags outperform multi-wall alternatives by 35% in tensile strength and 50% in UV resistance, making them the optimal choice for industries requiring durability and branding precision. With ISO 9001-certified quality control protocols and Starlinger automation systems, we ensure ≤0.3% defect rates and compliance with ASTM, EN, and JIS standards.
1. Structural and Functional Differences
BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) laminated woven bags integrate a polypropylene base fabric with a BOPP film layer, offering superior moisture resistance (>95% barrier efficiency) and high-gloss printability. In contrast, multi-wall woven bags use layered PP fabrics with intermediate liners, prioritizing cost efficiency for bulk dry goods like fertilizers or grains.
Key Performance Metrics :
- Tensile Strength: BOPP laminated bags achieve 1,800–2,200 N/5 cm (ASTM D5035), while multi-wall bags average 1,200–1,500 N/5 cm.
- Moisture Barrier: BOPP lamination reduces vapor transmission to <5 g/m²/24h (ISO 2528), versus multi-wall’s 15–20 g/m²/24h.
- Print Quality: 8-color flexographic printing on BOPP surfaces achieves ΔE ≤1.5 color accuracy (Pantone standards), whereas multi-wall bags are limited to 4-color offset printing.
VidePak’s BOPP laminated valve bags, for instance, enabled a Brazilian coffee exporter to reduce spoilage by 28% in humid climates while enhancing shelf appeal through metallic ink branding.
2. VidePak’s Quality Assurance Framework
Our 16 extrusion lines and 100+ Starlinger circular looms enforce rigorous testing protocols:
Core Testing Parameters
- Tensile Strength & Elongation: Measured via ASTM D5035, ensuring warp/weft strength ≥1,800 N/5 cm and elongation ≤25%.
- Tear Resistance: >40 N (ASTM D5884) using Elmendorf tear testers.
- Heat Seal Integrity: Seams withstand 15–20 N/15mm pull forces (ISO 527-3).
- UV Aging: 1,500-hour xenon-arc testing (ISO 4892-2) confirms <5% strength loss.
Additional checks include:
- Thickness Tolerance: ±2 microns via laser micrometers.
- Color Deviation: Spectrophotometers ensure ΔE ≤2.0 across batches.
- Grammage Consistency: 80–150 g/m² with ±1.5% variation (ISO 536).
A 2024 audit showed VidePak’s BOPP bags retained 98% of initial strength after 18 months of outdoor storage, far exceeding multi-wall bags’ 75% retention rate.

5. FAQs: Addressing Procurement Concerns
Q1: What is the MOQ for custom BOPP laminated bags?
A: 10,000 units, with 18–25 day lead times. Multi-wall MOQ starts at 5,000 units.
Q2: How do you test UV resistance?
A: We use QUV accelerated weathering testers (ISO 4892-3) simulating 5-year exposure in 1,500 hours.
Q3: Can BOPP bags withstand freezer conditions?
A: Yes, our elastomer-modified PP remains flexible at -30°C (EN 495-5 compliant).
Q4: Are multi-wall bags recyclable?
A: Yes, but only 70% vs. BOPP’s 95% recyclability due to adhesive layers .
