Our PP Woven Bag Manufacturing Process

Every bag we supply passes through the same controlled sequence — from granule to woven fabric to a printed, stitched and inspected sack. Knowing these stages helps you specify exactly the bag your product needs.

1. Raw material selection

Every order starts with virgin polypropylene or HDPE granules chosen for the strength, clarity and food-contact suitability the application needs. Additives such as UV stabiliser are added where the bags will be stored or transported in sunlight.

2. Tape extrusion

The granules are melted and extruded into a thin film, which is slit into flat tapes and stretched over heated rollers. Stretching orients the polymer chains and is what gives a PP woven bag its tensile strength. Tape width and denier are set to match the GSM required for the bag.

3. Circular weaving

The tapes are wound on bobbins and woven on circular looms into a continuous tubular fabric. Mesh count (warp and weft per inch) is controlled here, because it determines fabric GSM, breathability and load rating.

4. Lamination and BOPP printing

Where a moisture barrier or high-definition branding is needed, the woven fabric is laminated with a PP film, or BOPP printed film is laminated to the fabric for photographic-quality multicolour graphics. Plain woven bags skip this stage.

5. Flexo printing

For standard bags, brand name, product details, weight markings and statutory information are flexo printed in one or more colours directly on the fabric using your approved artwork.

6. Cutting, stitching and finishing

Fabric is cut to the ordered size and stitched into open-mouth, bottom-stitched, block-bottom or valve-type bags. Liners, gussets, handles, hem folds and box stitching are added according to the specification confirmed on your order.

7. Inspection, bundling and dispatch

Bags are checked for size, GSM, print registration, stitching quality and visible defects, then counted, bundled or baled and packed for dispatch to your plant or warehouse.

Quality checks at every stage

  • Fabric GSM verified against the confirmed specification
  • Bag length, width and gusset measured on sampled bags
  • Print artwork approved by the buyer before the production run
  • Stitch strength and seam checks on finished bags
  • Count verification before bundling and dispatch
