2024-04-28

Dear valued merchants,

We sincerely recommend to you a distinctive packaging product - a series of plastic packaging bags which can be handled in a plastic bag packing machine. These plastic packaging bags boast superior transparency, excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, outstanding physical structural strength, and excellent ecological isolation properties. They provide superb sealing effectiveness and radiation resistance. Moreover, this product combines good ease of handling with convenient product display capabilities. Let's appreciate this detailed product introduction together and experience the unique charm of this product.

Product Overview:

Plastic packaging bags are an ideal choice for providing optimal protection to various types of items. With their multiple excellent characteristics, plastic packaging bags successfully integrate transparency, heat stability, physical strength, biological isolation, sealing effectiveness, radiation resistance, ease of handling, as well as promotional, protective, and practical properties. Whether it's food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, or medical devices, a wide range of substances can receive the highest quality protection under the care of plastic packaging bags. Particularly noteworthy is the sealing effectiveness of plastic packaging bags, which ensures that these products are fully protected during storage and transportation, thereby guaranteeing product quality and integrity.

Product categories include:

  1. PE (Polyethylene) Film: PE film is the earliest and widely used plastic flexible packaging bag in China. It features low cost, excellent waterproofing properties, but slightly inadequate gas barrier properties. Common PE film products include moisture-proof film, cling film, self-adhesive film, stretch film, shrink packaging film, etc.
  2. PP (Polypropylene) Film: PP film mainly includes CPP (Cast Polypropylene) and BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) types. CPP film is often used as the heat sealing layer in composite materials and can be categorized into ordinary, cooking-grade, and aluminum-plated grades based on performance and usage; BOPP film is divided into ordinary, pearlized, and matt varieties.
  3. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Film: PET film is made from polyethylene terephthalate through extrusion into thick sheets and then biaxially stretched to form thin film material. It possesses excellent mechanical properties with high rigidity, hardness, and toughness, puncture resistance, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, low-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, oil resistance, gas tightness, and aroma retention. PET film is commonly used as one of the substrates for barrier composite films.
  4. BOPA (Nylon) Film: BOPA (Nylon) film has excellent toughness, superior tensile strength, tear resistance, impact resistance, and puncture strength, but it lacks heat sealing properties. It has excellent barrier properties against gases, oxygen, and aroma, is resistant to chemicals except strong acids, and has excellent oil resistance. However, due to its high moisture absorption, it may expand, wrinkle, elongate laterally, and shrink longitudinally, with a maximum elongation rate of up to 1%.
  5. PVDC (Polyvinylidene Chloride) Film: PVDC film is a high-barrier film coated with polyvinylidene chloride, exhibiting extremely high barrier properties suitable for packaging materials with stringent gas barrier requirements.
  6. EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer) Film: EVOH is a crystalline polymer with a chain-like structure, serving as a new type of high-barrier material. Its barrier properties decrease significantly when exposed to moisture, so it is typically used between two layers of materials with good moisture resistance.
  7. Aluminum Coated Film: Aluminum-coated film typically uses CPP, PET, or BOPP as the substrate and is prepared by vapor deposition. The aluminum layer is extremely thin, giving the material a metallic luster and greatly enhancing its barrier properties.
  8. PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Film: PVA film features high barrier properties, resistance to dissolution, oxygen barrier, corrosion resistance, freshness preservation, aroma retention, color preservation, oil and chemical resistance, etc. It is widely used as a barrier layer in co-extruded films, especially suitable for food and pharmaceutical packaging. Additionally, water-soluble films are often used for packaging certain special chemical drugs.

The product features include:

Plastic film, as the name suggests, is a thin material made from various polymer compounds. It is widely used in modern packaging fields for the protection and extended shelf life of products such as food, beverages, and daily necessities.

Manufacturing Technology and Supporting Equipment for Plastic Bags

We will conduct an in-depth analysis and examination of the entire production process and relevant technical methods, providing you with comprehensive and three-dimensional reference information.

Firstly, our primary raw material is polyethylene (PE), which undergoes stringent selection and testing to ensure that each piece of plastic film possesses excellent quality and stability. During the production process, we choose suitable production methods based on different requirements and applications, such as extrusion blow molding, T-die method, biaxial stretching, calendering, and extrusion coating. Among these methods, extrusion blow molding and extrusion coating are the two most commonly adopted techniques, thus categorizing plastic films into blown films and cast films.

In the preparation process of blown films, we first heat the resin to a molten state, then extrude and inflate it through a circular die head, and after cooling, we obtain blown films. These films have unique characteristics where, under the effect of inflation and traction, a small amount of molecules undergo directional alignment, resulting in significantly higher tensile strength compared to cast films.

As for cast films, the resin is heated to a molten state, extruded into a film through a T-die, then cooled on cooling rollers, and finally peeled off from the rollers. These films also have distinctions between stretched and unstretched.

After completing the film preparation, we print patterns clearly on the plastic films using advanced color printers according to customer design requirements. Subsequently, we employ various composite technologies to cleverly combine various packaging materials into a multi-layered structure. These composite technologies include but are not limited to dry lamination, wet lamination, extrusion lamination, solventless lamination, co-extrusion lamination, coating lamination, and thermal compression lamination.

Here, we will briefly introduce several common composite methods. Dry lamination involves uniformly applying adhesive (glue) to one plastic film, evaporating excess solvent through a drying oven, then pressing it with another plastic film using heated rollers to form a composite film. Wet lamination involves coating the surface of aluminum foil, plastic film, or paper with a water-soluble adhesive, laminating it with another substrate such as paper or glassine paper while the adhesive is not completely cured, then drying it through a hot air drying oven to obtain a composite film. Solventless lamination uses solvent-free adhesive to tightly bond two substrates together.

Additionally, there is extrusion coating technology, usually employing PE as the adhesive. After extruding through a T-die, it forms a molten film. When the adhesive is in a molten state, it bonds two substrates together, and after cooling and setting, a composite film is obtained.

After completing the composite process, we use a slitting machine to accurately cut the wide raw material films into standard specifications for plastic bags. Finally, we use a three-side sealing machine, employing ultrasonic high-frequency welding or heat-sealing blades, to produce bags with three sealed sides and one open side.

This concludes our detailed introduction to plastic bag manufacturing technology and supporting equipment. We understand that only through continuous innovation and pursuit of excellence can we meet the growing needs of our valued business partners.
