Identification of non-woven bags

Thread Content

As environmental awareness grows among people, non-woven tote bags are being used widely in an increasing number of industries. In recent years, manufacturers of such bags have sprung up across the country, with Xingle in Shijiazhuang having developed this industry into a key sector there. Since the production of non-woven tote bags has given rise to an industrial chain in Xinle, with all the necessary stages from the production of non-woven raw materials to the final delivery of the finished products being well-established, entering this industry for non-woven tote bag production locally requires a relatively low threshold. Currently, there are dozens of small family-run workshops in Xinle that specialize in producing tiny woven fabric bags. If you go there to take a look, you’ll find it quite common to see small workshops with three or five sewing machines in each store. It is precisely because the entry barrier for the production of eco-friendly handbags is low that price competition is ultimately inevitable in this industry. Here, we teach you how to identify high-quality non-woven bags, and help you avoid some of the less well-known tactics used by small workshops in the industry to offer low-priced non-woven bags. 　　I. Cutting corners This is the most common method for reducing costs. Since non-woven fabrics are measured by weight, cheating on the weight is the most direct way to do so. For a standard-sized non-woven bag, the area of non-woven material used is usually around 0.3 square meters. If the customer’s order specifies fabric with a weight of 80 grams per square meter, these small manufacturers will typically use fabric with a weight of 70 grams per square meter in order to reduce costs. If the customer is not a professional and does not use professional instruments for measurement, it is generally impossible to detect such issues. Even if one were to discover cases of shoddy workmanship and take legal action, it would still be difficult to impose sanctions on these unscrupulous manufacturers. It is precisely because a bag consists of only 0.3 square meters of fabric that the actual weight of such a bag varies by only 3 grams; this 3 grams falls within the allowable range, as non-woven fabrics allow for an error of up to 7 grams. Therefore, this cutting corners relies entirely on the manufacturers’ sense of responsibility.

In the local markets of Xinle, there are three types of such fabrics: one type is made from 100% granular material; this type of fabric has good luster, strong tensile strength, and uniform texture. The second type is a non-woven fabric that contains a small amount of recycled material or filler; this type of fabric has poor luster and is prone to tearing. Since recycled material is mixed with the new material during production, and the pulling forces are different, it is not surprising that the resulting fabric is uneven in quality. For example, for 80 grams of non-woven fabric, it’s normal for one side to weigh 100 grams while the other side weighs over 60 grams. The last type is peritoneal material; this type of fabric was not available in the early days of the non-woven bag industry. Nowadays, due to fierce price competition, manufacturers use this inferior non-woven fabric as peritoneal material in order to reduce costs. On www.hbzhidai.com, since the peritoneum process involves applying a layer of film onto the non-woven fabric, it’s difficult to detect defects in the inner layer of the material; hence this is understandable. These three are the common types of fabrics used locally. Currently, price competition is fierce, and there are many non-woven fabrics that contain a high proportion of recycled materials. To reduce costs, if someone uses 30% recycled material, I will use 40%. For larger orders, it’s necessary to determine the prices directly with the raw material suppliers, as it’s no longer up to the manufacturers to decide; rather, it’s the non-woven bag producers who set the prices, and you just need to offer me a price that works for them. Incidentally, in some areas, non-woven fabrics are produced from 100% powder, so one can imagine the quality of such materials. 　　III. Processing by external farmers 　In Shijiazhuang, the vast majority of non-woven bag manufacturers are small workshops; many of them have almost no production capacity at all. Every household in the surrounding rural areas has a flatbed loom. After receiving orders, the small workshops carry out production in these farmers’ homes. For example, if a small workshop receives 100,000 orders, it distributes the work among two or three women in one village and two or three women in another; the production process cannot be supervised, so once the bags are finished being made, they are all collected together, packed, and shipped. Small workshops that deliver products directly to farmers’ homes can save a large amount of money compared to the production costs involved in manufacturing at regular factories. For example, factories need to purchase thread, electricity, pay rent; after the workers complete the production, there are also costs associated with packaging, as well as expenses for repairs and maintenance. And all these production costs are saved at the farmer’s home. However, there is a fundamental difference between products produced by legitimate manufacturers and those made by farmers at home. When farmers produce goods at home, there is no supervision by management staff to ensure quality, and there is also no fixed production schedule, which makes it difficult to guarantee delivery dates. In contrast, legitimate manufacturers have dedicated management staff who constantly monitor the quality of the products; any quality issues can be addressed promptly, allowing for timely delivery as scheduled. In summary, the non-woven bags produced by small workshops are products with no quality assurance at all; such products are only suitable for low-end non-woven bags. If you have high requirements for product quality, Fangtian Non-Woven Bag Factory advises you to work with reputable manufacturers; partnering with small workshops will expose you to significant risks.
