Over the current past years, non-woven polypropylene (PP) bags have gained massive popularity in the market with so many benefits over other options like plastic and paper bags. Here are some of the main benefits of using non-woven PP bags:Here are some of the main benefits of using non-woven PP bags:
Strength and Durability
Non-woven PP bags are extremely robust and the material’s extraordinary resistance to tearing and puncturing makes them very robust. The manufacturing process of creating non-woven fabric involves weaving polypropylene fibers where they lock together to form a rigid material which has higher strength and can carry more weight than woven fabric. While using the plastic bags it is often that they tear apart when a lot of pressure is applied, and paper bags turn wet and soggy and also gives away when more weight is applied but non-woven pp bags do not have this issue. It also makes them reusable many times as compared to normal screws because of their superior strength.
Customizability
The possibility of additional modifications during the manufacture of non-woven PP bags is another clear advantage. Pocket length, width, placement, depth, color, flaps, and handles can be altered to design bags for any specific use. Thus, even when it comes to logos, labels, and decorative patterns’ application, thermal imaging technology works well. The versatility makes the non-woven bags perfect to be branded by the retailers and grocers since they have unique features that can be customized. The catalog of bag designs is vast and can be tweaked to enhance the containment and marketing of every type of product.
Water Resistance
Ordinary plastic bags are to some extent water resistant, but non woven pp bags have one of the highest water resistant capabilities that protect their contents from getting wet. This is because liquids will not penetrate or seep through the fabric of the bags but instead will form droplets on the bags and roll off. This characteristic of waterproof is necessary in moving moist and moist food such as fresh fruits and meat which would initially wet paper or plastic. It also means that the non-woven bags can have external condition such as having condensation on the outside part while the inside part will not be affected.
Breathability
In the case of non-woven PP bags, the bags are breathable and, therefore, allow some amount of air and moisture in unlike the plastic bags. This also gives it this “breathability” so that it doesn’t develop condensation on the inside thus it stays fresh and of good quality. When meat and poultry is stored in non-woven bags, it is not easily affected by mould or spoils very fast hence more shelf life. It also means that the breathability of the plastic is better than the normal plastic, and therefore it is less likely for bacteria to develop as it is less humid than normal plastic.
Transparency
The majority of the formulations in non-woven polypropylene enable light to pass through the material in a relatively effective manner. Translucent bags allow for a clear view of the contents of bags without having to go through the process of opening each bag and this is efficient and time-saving. Retailers can scan an entire shelf, or several shelves or racks, and instantly know what product goes into which bags. Transparency is also important in custom printing because it guarantees that logos, labels and designs on bags do not disappear even when the contents are not clear.
Eco-Friendliness
Non-woven polypropylene bags are a better option for the environment than plastic bags because they have a lesser negative impact on the environment. These can in turn be manufactured using recycled polypropylene to reduce waste flow. After use too, they are quite recyclable themselves as well as the waste materials that they generate. They also disintegrate faster than plastic if not recycled and when they are disposed off in landfills. In the case of the process of melting resin used in the production of resin, the temperatures used and energy consumed are relatively low as compared to the manufacture of plastic bags. Retailers can thus shift to the use of non-woven bags since it is easier for them to tout their green image to customers.
Economical
As a result, non-woven bags provides more values per bag than other bags because it has more strength, reusability, and lighter weight of material used. Another study that sought to compare the costs of making grocery bags pointed out that while it cost 1. 5 cents to produce plastic, 3 cents to make paper, and only 0. 75 cents to make non-woven polypropylene. It is essential to understand that all these types of pencils are extremely durable while not being particularly expensive. And from their non-woven manufacturing, there is less wastage thus little need for raw material input compared to use of plastic material. More initial investment on custom non-woven bags results in many fold benefits due to their usage.
Food Safe
While using inferior plastic products, one is bound to find their products infested with inferior quality plastic that is capable of leaking chemicals on the edible produce. This provides assurance that meats, baked foods, vegetables and many others will not absorb any phthalates, BPA or lead unknown contaminants from packaging. The policies on safety test further prove that non-woven bags have no effects on food contact hence ensuring the consumers are safe. That reliable standard makes them ideal bags for restaurants, cafes, butcher shops, food transportation, and every food business.
Microwave & Freezer Safe
Increased temperature resistance: non-woven polypropylene can be made to withstand frozen at -20°F up to effectively used in hot conditions of up to 195°F. It also means that these products in their frozen state can be reheated directly from the freezer using a microwave or convection oven. Freezers explain versatile long-term frozen storage services without breaking for a long time. At the same time, microwave-safe rating allows steaming the fresh vegetables directly in the transport bag to avoid the extra equipment. Due to this ability to be used both in hot and in cold settings, non-woven bags are very versatile for use in many areas of the kitchen.
Crease Resistant
While paper bags are well known to have a rigid and cumbersome folding that has creases which are uncomfortable to both the cashier and the customers when transporting or storing. Non-woven polypropylene, on the opposite, can return to the shape set when folded or bent and does not develop the hard creases that warp its structure. This is because the bags are highly flexible and more elastic in nature as compared to the rigid bags which are often very hard to pack in small areas. Whether stuffed into the back pocket of jeans or thrust into narrow shelves where a lot of similar items are stuffed, they will go back to their shape as soon as tension is removed. That crease resistance results in more pleasant and non-problematic appearance of the presentation.
In conclusion, carrying non woven polypropylene bags is a better option than using the normal plastic and paper carrier bags since we get the following advantages of performance, branding, sustainability and affordability of these bags. Its strength durability, lighttransmission, recyclability, and food contact compliance make it a practical packaging solution for almost any retail or commercial usage. The non-woven polypropylene bags are becoming popular as more companies find them dependable and environmentally friendly; the global market increase in the future years will have a sharp incline.
