Most Common Types of PP Woven Bags Used Today

PP woven bags are widely used across agriculture, industry, and export logistics thanks to their strength, flexibility, and cost efficiency. However, not all PP woven bags are the same. Each type is designed for a specific application, filling method, and performance requirement.

This article is written from the manufacturer’s and exporter’s point of view with practical insights from TAN HUNG JSC VIETNAM.

PP Woven Bag (Uncoated)

Uncoated PP woven bags are the most basic and economical type.

Key characteristics:

• Breathable structure

• Lightweight and cost-effective

• Easy handling and stacking

Typical applications:

• Rice, grains, corn

• Agricultural products

• Short-term storage and transport

Uncoated bags are preferred when moisture protection is not critical and cost optimization is the priority.

PP Coated Woven Bag

PP coated woven bags are produced by applying a thin PP coating to the woven fabric.

Key characteristics:

• Improved moisture resistance

• Reduced powder leakage

• Stronger surface integrity

Typical applications:

• Fertilizers

• Animal feed

• Chemicals and powdered products

At TAN HUNG JSC VIETNAM, PP coating thickness is selected based on real storage and transport conditions, not excessive coating that increases cost unnecessarily.

BOPP Laminated Woven Bag

BOPP laminated bags combine woven strength with high-quality printing.

Key characteristics:

• Excellent graphic appearance

• Strong brand visibility

• Enhanced moisture protection

Typical applications:

• Premium agricultural products

• Retail packaging

• Export brands requiring shelf appeal

BOPP laminated bags are ideal when branding and marketing value are as important as functional performance.

Gusseted PP Woven Bag

Gusseted bags feature folded side panels, allowing the bag to expand when filled.

Key characteristics:

• Better shape stability

• Higher filling efficiency

• Improved pallet stacking

Typical applications:

• Animal feed

• Fertilizers

• Bulk food products

Gusseted designs are commonly chosen for automated filling lines and uniform pallet loads.

PP Valve Bag

Valve bags are designed for high-speed automatic filling.

Key characteristics:

• Self-closing valve system

• Clean and dust-free filling

• High productivity

Typical applications:

• Cement

• Construction materials

• Fine powders

Valve bags require precise fabric specifications and valve construction, areas where manufacturing experience is critical.

---

UV-Stabilized PP Woven Bag

UV-treated PP woven bags are engineered for outdoor exposure.

Key characteristics:

• UV inhibitors added to PP resin

• Extended lifespan under sunlight

• Reduced material degradation

Typical applications:

• Fertilizer storage outdoors

• Agricultural products exposed to sunlight

• Long-term yard storage

UV protection level is typically customized (e.g. 6–12 months exposure) depending on usage conditions.

Expert Insight from the Manufacturer

Choosing the right PP woven bag type is not about selecting the “strongest” bag, but about matching the bag structure to the actual use case:

• Over-specification increases cost

• Under-specification risks product loss

With decades of export experience, TAN HUNG JSC VIETNAM supports customers by recommending technically balanced and cost-efficient PP woven bag solutions for each market and product type.
