In the Flexible Packaging Industry, pouches that can hold more than 5kg are considered as “heavy-duty bags”. These types of pouches have a wide range of applications in various industries such as pet food, rice and beans, fertilizers and agricultural goods. These industries need packaging that can protect their products and ease the shipping process.
Selection of materials are in hand for producing heavy-duty bags; pouch manufacturers mostly use Aluminium foil for strength. Stone Paper products possess elastic properties with high elongation which makes it tear-resistant, but it is also 100% waterproof. These characteristics are most vital for producing heavy-duty pouches. Therefore, Stone Paper products are the new alternative to prevent using Aluminium foil which is not a sustainable and eco-friendly choice.
