The Challenge
Powders, granules and pellets are heavy and abrasive, and many move through supply chains where a burst bag is a serious safety and contamination problem. Film integrity and seal strength are non-negotiable.
How Gundle Solves It
Gundle FFS film and heavy-duty bagtube are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system to tight tolerances, with the puncture and seal strength to survive filling, palletising and transport. Gundle is one of the top three suppliers to South Africa’s heavy-duty sacks market, serving the fertiliser and chemical industries.
