What Are The Basic Difference Between Woven and Non-Woven Polypropylene Fabric?

It is not uncommon to get questions from customers inquiring about the difference between the woven and non-woven fabric. Being one of the leading manufacturers of woven PP fabric, we never thought our customers would want to know about the difference between woven and non-woven fabrics. 

But after receiving repeated posts from customers, I thought to answer their queries, and this blog is the result of the same. Both fabrics are made from polypropylene and used to build reusable bags. However, there is a difference between PP woven and non-woven fabric. In this post, I have tried to give you information about the difference between both fabrics.

What Is The Basic Difference Between Woven and Non-woven Bags?

The raw material used for making woven and non-woven bags is the same, i.e. polypropylene. The difference in both fabrics comes after manufacturing. 

For making PP woven fabric, PP woven fabric manufacturer cut thin threads from polypropylene, which is first melted and turned into sheets. The threads are then woven together in the weft and wrap method, which results in a durable fabric called PP woven fabric. 

The non-woven fabric, on the other hand, is made by the dye-cut method. Both the fabrics are exceptional in terms of durability and functionality and have distinct features and functionality. 

Basic Features Of Woven and Non-Woven Fabric

Woven and non-woven fabrics are quite similar in properties as both derive from polypropylene. However, the weaving method adds up a little more features in woven fabrics. Have a quick comparison between both.

Woven fabrics are stretchable -Strength wise, woven fabrics are on a little higher side than the non-woven fabric. The PP woven bags made from the fabric also have the same property. This property of woven bags gives it enough leeways to be used for packing a wide range of materials, even the hard solids. 

Non-woven fabric on the contrary lack this feature. They are similar to plastic bags. In case of extra load, it will stretch and deform its shape. 

Woven Fabric Is Breathable - Weaving leaves small holes on woven fabric. This hole allows air to pass through it. This property renders PP woven bags/PP woven sacks ideal for storing stuff that requires ventilation such as fruits and vegetables, pulses, crops, etc. 

Non-woven bags have no such provisions. The non-woven bags are air-sealed and therefore used for storing product that requires complete protection from air and moisture, such as flour, dry fruits, etc. 

A few woven bags manufacturers have customized the bags to give them strong air and moisture resistance. The laminated bags, BOPP bags are a few of their inception. With their exceptional resistance to moisture, air, chemicals and fatigue, these bags are giving a tough competition to non-woven bags and are used to pack almost anything.

Woven Fabric Is High In Strength - PP woven fabrics are more strengthful than non-woven bags because of their flexibility. It does not tear or deform shape even when an extra load comes.

Other than that, both woven and non-woven bags possess all similarities such as both are recyclable material, low-cost packaging material, light in weight, resistant to chemicals, etc. 

Choosing The Right Fabric For Packing Different Items

Woven and non-woven bags come in a wide range of colours and sizes. They both are open for a hundred per cent customization. Thus, for people looking for a PP bag with distinct features, it is possible to add the same in packaging bags made from both fabrics. 

Cost-wise, non-woven fabric is costlier than woven fabric. If you have a low budget, you can go with woven fabric. And if you are looking for artwork features in your packaging bags, non-woven bags are the best for you.

These are the difference between woven and non-woven fabric. If you want to check the difference between both and verify it physically, visit the manufacturing unit of woven fabric at any time and check the pp woven fabric roll.

Different products made from woven fabric are PP woven sacks, gusseted bags, BOPP bags, laminated bags, automated packaging bags, etc.

Know-How Is PP Bags Are Manufactured And Why It Is Best For Industrial Use

Polypropylene bags are the toughest packaging material to store dry stuff. It is not only durable but also cost-effective in both short and long go. It is widely known as the best packaging material because of its convenience for storage and transportation. In India, DNS Group is one of the pioneers of  woven bags manufacturers  and suppliers. Here is the process of manufacturing pp bags from  pp woven fabric.     First Step  - Melting the pellets of raw polypropylene ·          Second Step  - Extruding flat sheets of required strength from melted PP pellet ·          Third Step  - Cutting of sheet into thin tapes ·          Fourth Step  - Rolling the PP tapes on roll/bobbins ·          Fifth Step  - Weaving PP fabric In the weaving process, numerous tapes of PP are woven in warp and weft direction to form PP fabric, which then rolled to form  PP woven fabric roll . This fabric roll is then processed to manufacture PP bags. The other names of PP bags are pp woven sacks, pp b

Top Features Of Polypropylene Flour Packaging Bags

Polypropylene is a material used for making different types of bags. The flour packaging bags are also made from polypropylene material, and it has made a significant difference in the packaging industry.  Some of the features of polypropylene bag that make it one of the best alternatives for food grain bags are: 1. The fabric is used for making wheat packaging bags , flours packaging bags, and other bags because it has a good resistance against moisture. Flour remains dry in the moisture-free atmosphere, therefore, it is best to keep it in moisture-resistant bags. 2. Flour requires packaging in tear resistance bags because a small cut in the bag could spoil the whole packaging. Polypropylene bags have a good resistance against wear and tear. This makes transportation of bags from one place to another easier and faster.  3. The polypropylene bags are easy to carry.
