PP woven fabrics, bags and BOPP bags are widely used in various industries such as packaging, agriculture, and construction. They are durable, flexible, and cost-effective, which makes them a popular choice among manufacturers and consumers. In this article, we will discuss the process of manufacturing PP woven fabrics, PP woven bags, and BOPP bags, including the raw material used and the different machines involved in the process. But how are these packaging materials made?
Raw Materials Used in Manufacturing PP Woven Fabrics, Bags, and BOPP Bags:
PP woven fabrics, PP woven bags and BOPP bags are made from a type of plastic called polypropylene. This thermoplastic polymer is derived from crude oil and natural gas. It is known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat and chemicals.
The process of manufacturing PP woven fabrics, PP woven bags and BOPP bags involves several steps. The first step is to gather the raw material, which is polypropylene resin. This resin is transported to the manufacturing facility in bulk bags or in bulk tanker trucks. The resin is stored in silos until it is ready to be used in the manufacturing process.
Apart from PP resin, we also use various additives to enhance the properties of the final product. These additives include UV stabilizers, antioxidants, pigments, and antistatic agents.
PP Woven Fabric Manufacturing Process
At New Fabrics Packaging, we manufacture PP woven fabrics using a specialised process that involves the following steps:
- Extrusion: The first step is to melt the PP resin and convert it into a continuous filament. This process is called extrusion, and it is done using an extruder machine. The extruder machine has a hopper where the PP resin is fed. The resin is then heated to a specific temperature and pressure, which makes it molten. The molten resin is then pushed through a die, which gives it a specific shape and size. This process results in a continuous filament.
- Weaving: Once the filament is obtained, it is fed into a weaving machine. The weaving machine interlaces the filaments to form a fabric. The weaving machine has two sets of threads, the warp and weft threads. The warp threads run vertically, and the weft threads run horizontally. The weaving machine interlaces these threads to form a strong and durable fabric.
- Lamination: After the weaving process, the fabric is laminated with a film to make it stronger and more resistant to moisture. The lamination process involves the application of a film to the fabric’s surface using heat and pressure. Lamination is done depending on the product or application specific packaging requirements.
- Printing: The final step is printing. The PP woven fabric can be printed with customized designs, logos, and colours using a printing machine.
PP Woven Bag Manufacturing Process:
PP woven bags are commonly used for packaging various products such as fertilizer, grains, cement, and animal feed. At New Fabrics Packaging, we manufacture PP woven bags using the following process:
- Printing: The first step in the manufacturing process of PP woven bags is printing. The PP woven fabric is printed with custom designs, logos or branding using high-quality printing machines.
- Cutting: After printing the fabric the next step in the manufacturing process of PP woven bags is cutting the PP woven fabric into the required size and shape.
- Sewing: The next step is sewing. The cut and printed PP woven fabric is sewn using specialized machines to create a bag that is strong and durable.
- Quality Control: The final step in the manufacturing process of PP woven bags is quality control. We subject the bags to a series of tests to ensure that they meet the required standards for strength, durability and safety.
BOPP Bag Manufacturing Process:
The manufacturing process of BOPP bags at New Fabrics Packaging involves the following steps:
- Extrusion: The manufacturing process of BOPP bags starts with the extrusion of polypropylene (PP) film. The PP pellets are melted and then passed through a flat die. The melted PP film is then stretched both in the machine direction and the transverse direction. The orientation of the molecules is done in both directions to improve the strength and durability of the film. This process is known as biaxial orientation.
- Printing: After the extrusion process, the BOPP film is then printed with the desired design and branding using high-quality inks. At New Fabrics Packaging, we use advanced flexographic printing machines to ensure that the prints are of the highest quality and durability. We also offer customized printing options to our clients to meet their specific requirements.
- Lamination: In this step, a thin layer of polypropylene is coated onto the printed BOPP film to improve its moisture barrier properties. The lamination process involves the application of heat and pressure to bond the two layers: BOPP film and woven pp fabric together. This also increases the strength of the fabric.
- Bag Making: The BOPP laminated fabric is then cut and converted into bags using high-speed bag-making machines. The bags are then sealed with heat and pressure to ensure that they are airtight and leak-proof. We offer a variety of bag types and sizes to cater to our client’s needs, including Valve bags, Top Hemming, Bottom stitched, bags with lines, bags with lamination and more.
- Quality Control: At New Fabrics Packaging, we have a stringent quality control process to ensure that our BOPP bags meet the highest standards. We conduct various tests, including burst strength, puncture resistance, and tear strength, to ensure that the bags are strong and durable. We also check the bags for any defects, such as printing errors, before they are packed and shipped to our clients.
