Packaging for Cement & Building Materials

Cement is the toughest test for packaging; heavy, abrasive, often stored outdoors. Gundle supplies the bagging and palletising films that keep cement intact from plant to site.

The Challenge

Cement bags take punishment: high fill weights, rough handling, long transport and yard storage in all weather. Packaging that splits means lost product, mess and claims.

How Gundle Solves It

Heavy-duty bagtube and FFS film withstand the fill weight and abrasion of cement on automated lines. Stretch hoods then lock pallets into stable, weatherproof loads ready for outdoor storage and long-haul transport. Gundle’s Germiston division is one of South Africa’s top three heavy-duty sacks suppliers.
