We write about the parts of packaging that cause the most trouble after the invoice is paid: specification, print quality, storage and the second life of a sack. Everything here comes from jobs we have run, not from a content calendar.
Two pieces that cover most of what buyers ask us before placing a first order.
A working guide to the six numbers that decide whether a woven sack survives the trip from your filling line to your customer's store. Written for buyers who have to sign off the specification.
How to get printed woven sacks that still look right after a year in a warehouse. Colour choice, artwork preparation, and the storage habits that quietly ruin a good print job.
We are a manufacturer, not a publisher. If a topic does not help somebody specify, buy or store woven sacks, it does not belong here.
How to choose fabric weight, dimensions, gussets and closures without over-specifying the bag and paying for strength you will never use.
What survives on woven polypropylene, what does not, and how to prepare artwork that still reads clearly when it is bent around a filled sack.
Pallet heights, sunlight, damp store rooms and second trips. The handling decisions that decide whether a sack lasts one season or four.
Most packaging problems we get asked to solve are not manufacturing problems. They are specification problems that were settled months earlier, usually in a hurry, usually by somebody who had three other things to chase that day.
A bag gets ordered to match whatever the last supplier used. Nobody asks why the fabric is 90 gsm rather than 70, or why the closure is stitched when the filling line runs a heat sealer. The order arrives, it works, and the cost of that unanswered question sits in the price for years.
We would rather answer those questions before an order is placed than argue about a credit note afterwards. That is the whole reason this section exists. Every article is written by people who work with these machines, and we would rather write four useful pieces a year than forty that repeat each other.
If there is something you want covered that we have not written about yet, ask us directly. Half the articles on this page started as a question from a customer.
Send it through. If it takes more than a paragraph to answer properly, it probably belongs on this page.
