Products & solutions
Polypropylene woven packaging, engineered properly.
We manufacture and supply polypropylene (woven) bags from 5kg to 2000kg weight specifications. Polypropylene is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer used widely because it is strong, malleable and transparent — simple to move, affordable, flexible and resistant to dirt, dirt vapour and moisture.
Material advantage
Durable by design — not by accident.
Our bags are sturdy, inexpensive and versatile. We source materials that are woven tightly to create an exceptionally tough fabric, then finish each bag by sewing the bottom side shut.
Moisture resistant
Protects contents from damp, humidity and rain exposure.
Dirt & vapour resistant
Keeps contaminants out of sensitive industrial product.
Tear resistant weave
Tightly woven fabric withstands rough handling and stacking.
Flexible & easy to move
Lightweight when empty, stable when filled, simple to palletise.

Bulk bag manufacturing
Configured to your filling and discharging line.
Choose the top and bottom configuration that matches your product's physical behaviour — from free-flowing granules to materials that need full-width discharge.
Top configurations
Duffel Top
Opens the full width of the bag and closes again with a drawcord — protecting the product inside after filling.
Top Spout
A circular tube added at the top to assist your filling process. Opens and closes with a drawcord on the spout.
Open Top
A straight, unrestricted opening for high-speed filling lines — available with flat bottom options.
Bottom configurations
Bottom Spout
A round tube through which product discharges at the bottom, tied closed with a drawcord. Two sizes available.
Full Bottom Discharge
The entire bottom opens and falls away by untying the drawcord — for materials that cannot flow through a spout.
Petal Bottom
A panel that tucks the tubular spout inside the bag, so it cannot hang underneath and damage the floor in transit.
