What is Packtech?
Updated: Nov 22, 2021
Packaging textiles include industrial textiles, agricultural and other products. Since the demand for packaging materials is both national and international production and distribution of products, economic growth is directly proportional to industrial production and trade. The increasing need for reusable packaging and boxes creates new opportunities in the market for textile products.
Traditional bags made of jute, cotton or natural fibers, increasingly being produced from modern synthetic fibers. These technical textiles used in packaging and subsequent transportation processes are called "Packtech".
It is well known that most of these packagings are ideal for the type of packaging. It includes high-weight and densely woven fabrics on the one hand, and low-weight nonwovens on the other.
The textile materials used in the packaging of consumer goods are as follows:
Big bags for powder and granular substances
Laundry bags and other packaging products
Bags for storage, etc.
Ropes for tying packages (except for agricultural applications)
Non-paper tea bags and coffee filters
Food storage bags
Nets for packaging, transporting, storing products such as toys and food
Woven slings, low weight mailing envelopes
Soft suitcases.

Thanks to their larger volume than woven sacks, they are extremely useful for transporting and storing large piles. It is widely used in the packaging of polymers, various chemicals, agricultural products. While the tube can be woven (round) or flat, the carrying capacity varies according to the need, and there are those with a loading capacity of up to 4000 kg.
