What are BOPP Laminated Bags?
BOPP laminated bags are polypropylene woven bags with an ultra-thin Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film laminated to the outer or both surfaces. This construction combines the tensile load-bearing strength of woven PP fabric with the photographic print capability and moisture-barrier performance of BOPP film.
- Rotogravure Multicolor Printing: Print up to 8 vivid colors with photographic clarity for retail shelves.
- Dual Finish Choices: Available in high-gloss shine or elegant matte finish.
- Moisture & Dust Barrier: Protects hygroscopic powders, grains, and agrochemicals from atmospheric dampness.
- Reinforced Burst Strength: Prevents bag rupture during warehousing, pallet stacking, and rough truck freight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes BOPP bags better than standard polybags?
BOPP bags allow full-color photographic print designs with a protective film that resists scratching, moisture, and tearing. Unlike paper or unlaminated woven sacks, they do not smudge or fade in transit.
Are your BOPP laminated bags food-grade safe?
Yes. The woven base fabric that comes in contact with food contents is extruded using 100% virgin polypropylene resin complying with food contact norms for grains, sugar, and flour packaging.
Can I get my exact custom logo and packaging artwork printed?
Yes. We manufacture customized rotogravure cylinders according to your artwork dieline (up to 8 colors) with choices of glossy, matte, or hybrid window-patch designs to view the product inside.
