Material

PP woven (woven polypropylene) is a thermoplastic material made from woven polypropylene strips. It can be produced from virgin or recycled sources and is valued for its strength and resilience.

The same material is used in heavy-duty products such as construction sacks and large retail bags – IKEA’s iconic blue shopping bag is a well-known example.

Production and Processing

Polypropylene resin is melted and extruded into flat tapes, which are stretched for strength and woven into a durable, flexible fabric. To enhance structure, print quality and moisture resistance, a thin glossy or matte PP film is laminated onto the surface using heat and pressure. The result is a strong, water-resistant material ideal for long-lasting reusable bags.

Performance in Practice

PP woven is exceptionally strong and puncture-resistant, perfect for bags that must withstand heavy loads and frequent use. It’s commonly chosen for grocery use, events and promotional bags requiring both durability and visual impact.

The Business Perspective

From a business standpoint, PP woven offers a durable, reusable solution that communicates quality and reliability. Its strength makes it ideal for retailers seeking a long-lasting alternative to single-use bags. RISE-certified models are tested for carrying capacity, colourfastness, puncture resistance and handle strength to ensure everyday performance.
