Names for newborns are usually selected as per their relevance for families or some other important factor. Therefore, the baby’s name is normally chosen for religious and spiritual reasons.

The name ‘Raffia’ is derived from the natural fiber in leaves of Raffia Palm found in Africa, used for making mats, baskets, etc. The structure of woven sacks prepared from PP and HDPE tapes resembles those mats and thus the name “Raffia” was given to plastic woven sack manufacturing industry and allied activities.

Advantages for Woven Sacks Packaging:

1. Lower cost of packaging Vs alternatives like jute & paper.

2. Stronger and lighter bags (70 gm Plastic Woven Sack matches the load bearing capacity of 500 gm jute bag). 

3. Better aesthetics and printing possible for brand creation & product differentiation. 

4. Lower transportation and handling cost due to light weight.

5. Availability of quality raw material as well as downstream processing machines. 

6. Healthy growth in Cement, Fertilizer, Food grain & Chemicals sector expected to show sustained demand for sacking applications.

The Process of manufacturing PP Woven Sacks involves following six steps:

STAGE 1: Selection of raw material

STAGE 2: Tape Extrusion and winding – production of tape bobbins 

STAGE 3: Weaving (tubular fabric weaving on Circular Weaving looms)

STAGE 4: Extrusion Coating or Lamination – on woven fabric

STAGE 5: Printing – Flexographic

STAGE 6: Bag conversion, bailing and dispatch 

STAGE 1: Selection of raw material

The basic raw material – polymers used in manufacturing of raffia are generally polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) available in granular form. Raffia Sector is highly technical demanding market and therefore need high performance polymers. With a strong focus on understanding the customer’s needs, there has to be a complete range for the segment with different grades for extrusion of raffia tapes, coating and differentiated grades with UV stabilization. 

The MFI (Melt Flow Index) is a critical parameter to choose appropriate grade of PP/HDPE for specific application. In PP, MFI ranges from 2 to 6 and in HDPE the MFI range is 0.9 to 1.0.

In PP generally MFI of 3 is very prevalent but new grades with MFI of 4.5 are available now to ensure an optimum balance of mechanical properties like tenacity and elongation at break and high productivity in terms of enhanced line speeds. Similarly, in HDPE less than 1 MFI is generally preferred.

Other than basic polymer (PP/HDPE) lot of other additives are used as below

1. Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch/Filler – as an anti-fibrillation agent and cost reduction. Higher use of filler though results in deterioration of mechanical properties and diminishing UV Stabilization.
2. UV Stabilizers – used where end product has an outdoor exposure. These includes Tarpaulin, Fertiliser bags, Jumbo Bags (FIBCs), food grain and sugar packaging.
3. Color Masterbatch – to impart colors based on customer’s requirement.

STAGE 2: Tape Extrusion and winding – production of tape bobbins

In the Tape Extrusion/Stretching Lines, PP/HDPE granules, filler and other additives are blended, melted, homogenized and finally extruded through a T-die.  The melt is quenched in a water bath to form a solidified cast film of desired thickness.  The cast film is then slit into tapes of required width and stretched over godets rotating at different speeds under controlled temperature (inside a hot air oven for bringing tapes to softening point) before annealing to produce tapes with oriented molecules having desired level of tenacity and elongation.  Individual tapes are collected or wound on numerous winders at the end of the tapeline to form bobbins or cylindrical packages on steel/aluminium cores. Owing to the shape of the tape packages, they are also called cheese and the metal cores called cheese tubes.

The speed of extrusion lines available today are up to 600 meters per min and extruder melt capacity is up to 900 kg/hr. Due to market requirements the automatic changeover winders also are now widely popular and has been designed to meet the ever increasing demand for becoming more efficient and cost effective. 

STAGE 3: Weaving (on Circular Weaving Machine)

Warp and weft are the two basic elements used in any type of weaving to turn thread or yarn (in our case “tapes”) into woven fabric. The warp is the set of tapes which are mounted on the Creel of a circular weaving loom and enters from two opposite sides into the central portion of the loom where they are intertwined by Weft tapes mounted in shuttles which revolves in a circular motion inside the weaving sheds. 

Each model of loom is suitable for a range of tubular fabric widths (DFL).  Besides the DFL, the fabric is also defined in terms of mesh or number of tapes per 10cm in warp and weft direction, the denier of tapes (weight of 9000 meters of tapes in grams) in warp and weft directions and their corresponding widths in mm.  

The tubular fabric so produced may be wound into rolls or slit open before winding as flat fabric.

The high-performance circular looms are designed to weave light and heavy fabric (30 – 250 gms per sq. meter or GSM) for variety of end applications. For example, a 4-shuttle looms are suitable for weaving a ventilated fabric or Leno fabric up to almost 70 cm used for packaging of Horticultural products. Similarly looms with 6 shuttles are used for weaving of fabric used for fertilizer, cement, food grain and sugar packaging bags. Looms with Shuttles 6, 8, 10 and 12 are designated to manufacture bags for light and heavy GSM fabrics for FIBC or Jumbo bags, Tarpaulins and Geotextiles. Modern high shuttle circular looms have made it possible to make a fabric up to a working or double flat width of 295 cm. 

STAGE 4: Extrusion Coating or Lamination   

Depending upon the end requirement, the woven fabric may be coated with PP or LDPE on both side of fabric or on single side as per the end use requirement. The choice of raw material is very important and Copolymer grades of PP are available which can be used directly to eliminate the mixing of LDPE. Extruded PP/LDPE can also be used to paste another film on the surface being processed to produce laminated fabric.

STAGE 5: Printing

Roll-to-roll Printing

Most packaging requires to be printed, if not for aesthetic or marketing reasons, for reasons of identification and labelling. 

The fabric roll, coated or directly from loom, is fed to the printing machine which is usually capable of printing in multiple colours.  Graphics or texts may be printed as required.

High quality 4/6/8 colour flexographic machines with printing speeds of approximately 150 m/min are available. If fabric rolls are not printed before conversion, bottom stitched bags may be printed in a multi-cylinder bag-to-bag flexographic printing machine.  It is a much slower machine and less accurate than the roll-to-roll printing machine.

STAGE 6: Conversion, bailing and dispatch 

Tubular fabric may be manually cut to the desired length and stitched into bags of different designs. This is a very labour intensive process and has already replaced to a large extent with automatic bag conversion machines. The Bag conversion line combines the functions of measuring out, cutting, folding, stitching to deliver bottom stitched bags in neat stacks.  These bottom stitched bags are now ready to be filled in and top stitched. 

Finished printed sacks are then packed in lots of 500 nos.  (or a multiple of 500 nos.), or as desired by end user.  Stacks of bags are compressed with a bale press to expel the air trapped within and make compact pellets for transporting to end users. 

Packaging is a technology of preparing the goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale and the end use. The packaging retains the product inside it throughout its logistics chain from manufacturer to the end user. Packaging serves several objectives of physical protection, barrier protection, containment or aggregation, marketing, security, convenience of handling, portion control and very important branding/positioning. 

Keeping these requirements and performance attributes in view, the Polypropylene (PP)/High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) woven sacks/bags are now the most widely used and popular flexible packaging system for several commodities like cement, fertilizer, chemicals, polymers/resins, food grains, sugar, animal feed, rice, flour, coffee, salt and host of other goods.

Polyolefins like PP & HDPE are the material of choice because of inherent advantages of functional performance and cost benefits. Some of the attributes which make them the ideal choice for bulk packaging (from 10 kg to 2 tons) are as follows.

• Barrier protection – excellent resistance to moisture, temperature, fungal/microbial infestation.
• Light weight – ratio of packaging weight Vs volume is less than conventional packaging. 
• Strength – adequate strength to withstand the risks of material loss involved in distribution/storage cycles.
• Operational Convenience – easy handling during transportation, stack ability etc.
• Eco Friendly and sustainable – raw material availability is not dependent on natural resources, conservation of material, energy and water.
• Reusable and Recyclable
• Low cost than other conventional packaging systems
• Branding/Positioning – printability of coated and non-coated bags is much superior to traditional material like jute. Outstanding printability can be achieved with BOPP laminated woven sacks.

For packaging of a wide variety of products like solid chemicals, food grains, sugar, cashew nuts, animal feeds, flour, maize etc. non-coated/coated/laminated woven sacks from PP are used. 

For packing the fertilizer, the bags are made from HDPE in India. 

HDPE / PP Woven sacks with liner are used when the particle size of the product to be packed is very fine making it possible for it to ooze out of the woven bag and needs to be protected from moisture. The liner bags are most suitable to pack sugar or any other hygroscopic material.

HDPE/PP woven fabric which can be coated/non-coated are also used as wrapping fabric to cover material like paper rolls, textile fabrics, old cloth, all types of rubber tyres, steel coils, galvanized pipes, etc. 

Conventional Pillow type non-coated bags with perforations are generally used for packing of cement or any other material which are hot while packing for air permeability. 

Some other prominent end applications where PP/HDPE woven fabric is used are as below

• Sand Bags – used in famine-affected areas to control the floods, by the armed forces are also made of unlaminated woven fabric. These bags are filled with sand and its mouth is tied with the strap.   

• Leno / Mesh bags – highly convenient mode of packaging a variety of perishable goods like onions, potatoes, garlic, ground nuts, fruits & vegetables etc. With their low weights and cost effectiveness & wide range of attractive colors they provide a superior packaging alternative to other materials. Leno bags are developed to the highest standards of quality and exhibit a high level of flexibility and efficiency and can carry loads of over 50 kgs. 

• Lumber Wrap – wide width fabric to cover huge logs of wood. It can either be one side or both sides laminated. Also available printed in roll form.  

• Tarpaulins – Wide width fabric made from HDPE (coated) can be used for covering material especially in trucks, for layering in canals and roads. These are available laminated one side or both sides.  

• Carry bags – made from PP/HDPE woven fabric can be used for shopping purposes. The advantage over normal polythene bags is its strength, durability and good appearance. 

• BOPP Laminated Bags – PP woven fabric is laminated by pre-printed BOPP film to make such bags. These bags have a very good appearance and are used for packaging premium products like pesticides, seeds, wheat flour, high-end chemicals etc. It may also be used for secondary packaging of smaller 1kg bags. BOPP laminated bags has wide usage in the retail industry as it provides freedom to produce colorful and attractive bags.

 Aesthetics is one of the main advantages of PP/HDPE woven sacks and the printing effect on woven fabric being more superior to traditional materials like jute adds to the quality of packaging. Due to this added characteristic of bags, it makes the most preferred choice over paper & jute bags for the marketers as a better packaging option as it helps them to establish unique positioning of their products in consumer’s mind. 

Overall, the light weight, cost effectiveness and aesthetics and sustainability made PP/HDPE Woven Sacks as an ideal choice for Bulk Packaging.

You aren’t the only one who is spending most of your time hooked on social media and your latest smartphone.  Do you think perhaps you can’t cut them out of your life completely, but here I have some tips to help you take back control of your smartphone, your social media usage, and your life.

How often do you switch on your smartphone, and in a jiffy discover having lost 30 minutes of your valuable time, or perhaps your whole day? Time is the most important resource at your disposal, and once you lose it, you shall never get it back. 

We don’t realize how easy it is to get lost in our mobile screens as we tap from one app to another, and scroll through social feeds on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Connected India account. The latest smartphones and social media apps are designed to hook, and keep you continuously engaged, and in some cases can even lead to addiction. But there are ways to insulate your mind from all these distractions, and take back control of your tech.

Here comes some tips to wean yourself away from compulsive smartphone and social media habits, and how to regain control over consuming the technology.

It’s Time to Change Notification Settings

I won’t be surprised if your push notifications are still set to defaults. You may be getting bombarded by emails, messages, alerts from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and dozens of other apps? Cut out the clutter.

Check your notification settings on all your devices—smartphones, desktops, tablets, and laptops—and turn everything off that’s not essential. Notifications that appear as red dots next to your app icons are visual cues literally begging you to check them. The golden rule is to turn off all notifications except for direct messages and mentions because these are the ones coming from real users.

Use Original Android and iOS Apps

Smartphone makers and app developers have begun to respond to the tech addiction backlash from users. For iPhone users, now the iOS12 has a built-in feature called Screen Time, that not only tracks your screen time and app usage, but helps you schedule limits and “Downtime” away from selected apps and alerts. This is the way you should use it.

In case you’re running the latest version of Android, you can do the same with Google’s Digital Wellbeing app. This provides you a dashboard that breaks down your app usage, how often you normally unlock your phone, and on an average, how many notifications you receive. You can go ahead and set your app limits and turn off unnecessary notifications.

Monitoring Your App Usage

While you are busy using tech and social media, it can often create a sense of illusion about how much time you’ve spent looking at the screen. The remedy lies in monitoring your usage time from app to app. This is a great way to identify behaviors that you wish to change. Although there are built-in functionality such as iOS Screen Time and Android’s Digital Wellbeing, there are also apps like Moment for iOS and Rescue Time for Mac and Windows that help you keep a check on how much time you’re spending on apps and devices besides using your smartphone for other functions.

Grayscale

According to the Center for Humane Technology (CHT), the colored icons reward our brains every time we unlock them. Set your phone to grayscale to convince your mind to check your phone less frequently.

If you are using an iOS device, go to Settings > General > Accessibility and scroll down to Accessibility Shortcut. Now, if you check the Color Filters option, it will unlock a feature allowing you to tap the side button thrice or home button to switch grayscale on or off on your IPhone.

On Android phones, the process may differ, but you can check under Settings > About phone. With Digital Wellbeing present in the Android Pie, apps turn gray when you’ve reached your daily limit.

Don’t Use Your Phone as an Alarm Clock

You shouldn’t keep your smartphone within easy reach during the night. Don’t put it for charging on your nightstand, and if your phone needs to be charged, keep your phone further away from your bed or ideally leave it in another room so you’re not tempted to pick it up in the middle of the night. Get a separate alarm clock so your wake-up cycle isn’t tied to your smartphone.

Fix Social Boundaries

We need a lot of social etiquettes while using technology in a responsible manner. You must know when is it appropriate to use your smartphone, and when is it considered rude? If you’re having a one-to-one conversation with someone, resist the urge to pull a device, because it’s the first step toward cutting out unhealthy behavior. Make a rule to not keep devices on your dining table during meals. There may be small kids at the table who don’t have their own devices yet, and you will be setting a bad precedent if you’re scrolling through your Instagram posts in one hand, while eating with the other, and barely participating in the conversation.

Take Care of Distractions 

There are many apps out there that help you focus and cut out your digital distractions. An app called Thrive puts users into Thrive Mode and subsequently blocks all apps, calls, notifications, and texts except for “VIPs” you’ve previously designated. There are meditation apps like Calm and Headspace that help you to de-stress and focus your energy on positive activities. You can use an app like freedom that blocks apps and websites for a given period of time. You can use gamification to motivate yourself.

You can also use extensions that help you use sites like Facebook and YouTube in a more structured manner. You can choose Distraction Free YouTube feature that can easily remove recommended videos from sidebars to keep you from getting unnecessarily engaged. Besides, tools like News Feed Eradicator masks Facebook posts for those users who normally use the app only for seeing events and groups. Moreover, the Facebook Demetricator extension can hide even likes, comments, and share numbers to keep you away from fixating on feedback and rewards cycles.
