Polypropylene granules are melted and extruded into thin film, then slit into narrow tapes.
Tapes are drawn (stretched) to align the polymer molecules, which increases tensile strength.
Tapes are woven on circular or flat looms into fabric of the required width and density.

A thin PP film is heat-bonded to one or both sides for moisture-proofing and print quality.

Up to six-color flexographic printing is applied for branding.
Each roll is checked for GSM consistency, tensile strength, and weave uniformity before dispatch.
| GSM Range | Typical Strength | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 50–70 GSM | Light-duty | Small sacks, promotional bags, light grain packing |
| 70–100 GSM | Medium-duty | Cement bags, fertilizer bags, general industrial packing |
| 100–120 GSM | Heavy-duty | Tarpaulin covers, ground covers, silt fencing |
| 120–140 GSM | Extra heavy-duty | FIBC/jumbo bag components, high-load industrial applications |

| Feature | PP Woven Fabric | PP Non-Woven Fabric |
|---|---|---|
| How it's made | Polypropylene tapes woven on a loom | Polypropylene fibers bonded together (spunbond) without weaving |
| Strength | Higher tensile strength, better for heavy loads | Lower strength, better for lightweight/disposable use |
| Typical use | Cement/fertilizer bags, FIBC, tarpaulins, ground cover | Shopping bags, medical drapes, masks, agricultural covers |
| Texture | Mesh-like, visible weave pattern | Felt-like, smooth surface |
| Reusability | Highly reusable, durable | Often single-use or short-term use |
Yes. PP woven fabric is made from polypropylene, classified as plastic #5, which is widely recyclable. Because PP woven fabric is a single-material (mono-material) product - unlike multi-layer laminated packaging - it's easier to recycle than composite alternatives. Unlaminated PP woven fabric is generally the most straightforward to recycle; laminated variants can also be recycled where facilities accept multi-layer PP.
Laminated PP woven fabric is highly water-resistant, close to waterproof, because the coating seals the weave. Unlaminated fabric resists moisture but is not fully waterproof, since the woven structure has small gaps.
Cement bags typically use 70–100 GSM laminated PP woven fabric, which balances strength with cost while providing moisture resistance for the bagged material.
Laminated fabric has a thin polypropylene film bonded to the surface for moisture resistance and sharper printing, while unlaminated fabric is a raw, breathable weave - better for products like grain that need airflow.
