BOPP laminated woven bags are among the most premium and export-ready packaging options used across agro, fertilizer, chemical, FMCG and retail industries. At Formosa Synthetics, we combine strength, visual appeal, and moisture resistance to deliver international-quality bags suitable for both Indian and global markets.

Below is a clear, step-by-step look at how our BOPP laminated woven bags are manufactured.


1. PP Extrusion & Tape Manufacturing

We begin with high-grade polypropylene (PP) granules. These are melted, stretched, and converted into flat PP tapes, which form the base of the woven fabric—stronger tapes = stronger bags.


2. Weaving of PP Woven Fabric

The PP tapes are woven on high-speed circular or flat looms to create a durable woven fabric.This woven base gives the bag its load-bearing strength, making it suitable for export shipments.


3. Rotogravure Printing on BOPP Film

Using rotogravure printing, we produce:

  • High-resolution graphics

  • Glossy, premium surface finish

  • Multi-colour and photo-quality imagery

This printed BOPP film becomes the outer branding layer of the bag—ideal for FMCG and export markets.


4. Extrusion Lamination

The printed BOPP film is laminated over the woven fabric using extrusion. This fusion enhances:

  • Moisture protection

  • Tear resistance

  • UV stability

  • Overall bag appearance

The result is a strong, attractive, and weather-resistant packaging material.


5. Cutting, Stitching & Final Finishing

The laminated fabric is cut to the required size and stitched using heavy-duty industrial machines.

Optional features from Formosa Synthetics:

  • Gusseting

  • Micro-perforation

  • Transparent windows

  • Zipper/handle options

  • Custom sizes & GSM

Every bag passes through strict quality checks before dispatch, ensuring export-standard performance.
