The History Of Polypropylene Bags In The World

The polypropylene was introduced to the world in the late 50s. The chemical composition of polypropylene is similar to polythene, however, it had more strength, harder, resistant to chemical & sun light. All these characteristics made it a better option than its counterpart.

Later the world accepted these bags. And gradually, it replaced many traditional packaging bags. In India, PP bags came in the 60s and acquired a good market. Presently, there are many manufacturers of PP bags. The use of rice packaging bags, flours PP bags, seed bags, animal feed bags, cement bags, fertilizer bag is prevalent everywhere. For flour packing, these bags are one of the best options.

PP Bags For Flour Packaging

As said above PP bags are an apt alternative for flour packaging, here are the reasons that make it compatible with the same.

It Is Highly Customizable - The use of PP bags are not just popular in flour packaging but for many other products. This is because of its flexibility. It can be bespoke to make it befitting for diverse need. E.g. grain bags like wheat packaging bags, maize packaging bags, barley packaging bags are customized to increase its moisture resistance.

Moisture is one of the biggest threat for grains. If the bag absorbs moisture, the grain inside will also do, which will cause swelling in grains, then will let to moulds and bacterial growth. To make PP bags resistant to moisture, manufacturers add lining or lamination in the bag. Additionally, perforation can be added in the bag to make it breathable. It is good for packing items that are hot at the time of packing. Like this, PP bags give lots of flexibility for customization.

It Has A High Resistance To Chemicals - The PP bags have high resistance to chemicals. The benefits of this characteristic of the woven bag are not limited only up produce packed in it. It is good for grain storage as well. Grain bags like rice packaging bags, wheat bags, maida packaging bags are often packed and stored in a safe place. This is called the stocking up of product.

To keep the place free from rodents, insects and microorganisms, it is often treated with chemicals. Because the PP bags don’t absorb moisture, the product packed inside remains safe.

Addition to that, this characteristic of polypropylene fabric make PP bags safe for storing fertilizers and cement as well, which are chemicals.

It Has A Good Strength to Bear Weight - The important part about PP bags is its strength. The manufacturing process of woven bags involves the weaving of polypropylene strips. This gives good strength to bags. These bags can comfortably carry the weight from 25-50 kgs and jumbo bags have even more weight carrying capacity.

Its high strength and low weight give the packaging industry another benefit. It is possible to pack more grain. Flour packaging bags when transported from one place to another can be loaded more.

The traditional packaging bags on the contrary has low strength and high weight, which used to add the cost of transportation.

The Other Characteristics Of Grain Packaging Bags

· It has a high resistance to wear and tear

· The bags have an anti-skid surface that makes it easier to stalk in warehouses
