What is the difference between woven and non woven polypropylene bags?

There are many different forms of industrial bags that companies can use to benefit their business. They are reusable, durable, and provide you with the confidence you need for your products. It can be confusing to decide which one best fits your needs. Two common ones that are used are woven polypropylene and non-woven polypropylene bags. Western Packaging can help you with both of these bags, and we have put this article together to help you understand the difference between the two. 

What Is Polypropylene 

Polypropylene is a type of plastic that is used to make industrial size bags for a variety of different companies. It is even used in smaller objects, such as lunch boxes and more. These bags are reusable and offer you a more eco-friendly option for your shipping and handling needs. 

Two common ways polypropylene is used in big industries are through woven and non-woven bags. They are similar in many ways, but do have their differences. Mainly in the way that they are assembled and put together for use. Some of the many uses for woven and non-woven polypropylene bags are:

  • To Store Rice, Flour, and Maize
  • Restaurants, Grocery Stores, and Warehouses Use Them To Store Food
  • Shopping Centers Use Them As Reusable Shopping Bags
  • Sand Bags For Flooring and Barricade Needs
  • And So Much More

Polypropylene Woven Bags

As the name states, woven bags are bonded together using a woven technique. This makes them highly durable and withstands a substantial amount of weight. A great benefit of woven bags is that they are more flexible and withstand the movement that occurs during loading and unloading. 

Over the two, woven and non-woven, woven is a more durable option to go with. They will withstand far more pressure than non-woven will due to the ability to be more flexible. There are options to help you make non-woven and woven poly bags water-resistant with a laminate film. 

Polypropylene Non-Woven Bags

Non woven bags are another great option for many different businesses to use. They are put together using plastic resin and a heat press. Unlike the woven bags, they do not have the same weave structure. This does make them less flexible than woven polypropylene bags. 

The good news is that they are both made to be completely eco-friendly and can be 100% recycled. It is always great when businesses can find ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Although the flexibility is not the same, both are still sturdy options to use, depending on your needs. 

You Can Print Your Logo On The Bags

A great way to advertise your business with little to no effort is by having your logo on the poly bags that you use. You have a variety of colors and fonts that you can choose from as well. People will see this during transportation, while walking by it on a shelf, while someone else is carrying the bag around, and so much more. 

You have probably seen these bags around more than you realize. When you are in many retail stores and grocery stores, you will see them a lot. They are the reusable bags sold at the front with all the designs and colors. Many just have the business name on them as well.
