PP Woven Bags Manufacturing Process: How Sack Production Works

Understanding how PP woven sacks are crafted becomes crucial as the demand for sustainable packaging solutions continues to rise. 

These bags are not only durable but also reusable and recyclable, making them a popular choice for transporting goods. 

So, let’s unravel the steps involved in the PP woven bags manufacturing process.

1. Raw Material Selection

The journey begins with sourcing high-quality polypropylene (PP) resin. PP is known for its strength and durability. To enhance its properties, additives are used:

  • UV stabilisers: These reduce the impact of sunlight exposure during transportation and storage.
  • Antioxidants: Prevent resin degradation from heat, oxygen, and other environmental factors.
  • Slip agents: Make the bags smoother for easy handling.
  • Anti-block agents: Improve bag separation, especially in humid conditions.
  • Colourants: Add pigments and dyes for appearance.
  • Flame retardants: Enhance resistance to ignition and burning.

 

2. Melting the PP Resin

The PP resin pellets are fed into an extruder, where they are heated to their melting point (usually around 180-220°C or 356-428°F). The extruder then forces the melted resin through a die, forming long, continuous flat tapes.

 

3. Extrusion Drawing of PP Tapes

These flat tapes serve as the base material for the woven fabric. Circular weaving machines interlace these tapes to create the characteristic woven pattern.

 

4. Coating and Lamination

To enhance strength and water resistance, a coating or lamination process is applied. This step ensures that the bags can withstand various environmental conditions.

 

5. Printing

Bags are often printed with logos, product information, or branding. Flexographic printing is commonly used for PP woven bags.

 

6. Cutting and Sewing

The woven fabric is cut into the desired bag size. Skilled craftsmen stitch the edges, creating the final bag shape. Handles or straps are also attached during this stage.

 

7. Baling

Finished bags are baled for easy storage and transportation. They are now ready to serve various purposes, from carrying agricultural produce to industrial goods.

 

8. Quality Assurance and Final Inspection

Once the bags are manufactured, additional finishing touches are often applied to enhance both their functionality and appearance. 

These can include installing handles, drawstrings, or other closing mechanisms, making the bags more convenient to carry, and ensuring their contents remain secure.

Throughout the production process, rigorous quality control measures are implemented to ensure that the final bags meet high standards.
