The global market for PP woven bags was valued at US$3421 in 2017 (this was the minimum), and its forecasted growth is 4.2% between 2018 to 2028.
In India, the demand for PP woven fabric is on
the rise and has found application in various industries, such as the
agriculture, food packaging, tourism, daily necessities, geotechnical packaging
and food control products. When it comes to the cement industry, then PP fabric
is one of the foremost picks here because of its strength, higher corrosion
resistance, chemical resistance and tear resistance properties.
India, being the top producer of cement in the world,
consumes woven bags for cement packaging primarily. On the other hand, the
world has some better and sustainable options.
Paper bags with plastic coating is one of them. In
India, the drift of the cement packaging industry toward PP woven fabric is not
because of the cost as most people think. It has a strong foundation. Let us
have a look at the same.
It is a Cost-Effective Solution -
Cost of packaging is a factor manufacturers take into account because this
affects their profit ratio. The woven bags made from PP fabric are low
cost in comparison to other options available. And in addition to being a
low-cost option, it offers all the functionalities and features that
manufacturers look for in packaging bags, such durability, high strength,
sustainability, availability, etc.
Highly Customizable -
The PP woven fabrics are customizable. Cement bag manufacturers leverage
this property of PP fabric to bring up innovative products. The woven bags with
lining and lamination are a few inceptions. And the latest one is the modular
bag for the automotive bagging system.
Packaging of material has shifted to the automotive
mode for most stuff. Cement also comes in the same category. The new woven bags
synch with the system perfectly. The top benefit of this bag is a sharp
reduction in wastage. The perforation on woven bags is the place from
where excess air and moisture present in the cement releases in the traditional
bags. The same perforation becomes a cause for cement wastage during packing
and transportation. In the new cement bags, manufacturers have removed the
perforation on fabric with BOPP lamination and replaced it with an open mouth
that automatically seals the bag after releasing the trapped air. It has
reduced the wastage of cement significantly. In addition to that, the BOPP film
laminated on woven bags aids branding.
Spill-Proof Packaging -
A packaging material cannot be said excellent until it is hundred per cent
spill-proof. It is because spilling of material means wastage of material,
which results in profit loss. The woven bag has been made spill-proof
with the hemming process, lamination, liner, etc. All these features have been
added to the cement bags as well. So, the present-day cement bags are
spill-proof. Furthermore, the wear and tear resistance of PP woven fabric makes
it even safer for the packing and transportation of cement.
The PP bags or sacks with liners are easy to
handle, stronger than basic woven bags and more resistant to moisture.
Easy Transportation -
Cement bags must have an exceptional strength because these bags get
transported to different places and exported. PP woven bags are durable, and
the addition of lamination on the PP woven fabrics warrants an extra layer of
protection to bags. It makes it safe for goods transportation in different
conditions such as water, heat, air, etc.
Cement is a sensitive material that turns into useless
concrete, even with slight contact with moisture. Therefore, its protection
during transportation becomes imperative. PP woven fabrics encompass all the
qualities to safeguard it. Further, the woven fabric manufacturers are
working with the PP fabric to develop innovative products with higher
functionalities.
