Types of PP Woven Bags used in Bangladesh: Which one should you use?
PP woven bags are a top choice for packaging in Bangladesh. They’re tough, light, reusable, and don’t cost a fortune. However, understanding the different types of PP woven bags used in Bangladesh is essential for choosing the right packaging solution for various industries.
You’ll find them in everything from farming to hardware stores. But here’s the catch: not all PP woven bags are made the same. Whether you're packing rice, cement, or fertilizer, using the wrong kind of bag could mess up storage or damage your product.
If you're confused about which bag is best for your business, whether it's for rice, cement, or export packaging, this guide will help. So by the end of this, you'll know exactly what type of bag makes sense for your business.
PP stands for polypropylene—a strong, flexible, and moisture-resistant plastic. The “woven” part means the plastic threads are interlaced to create a fabric-like texture. It’s like cloth, but stronger and water-friendly. That combo gives you a bag that’s surprisingly durable for its lightweight. It's perfect for hauling things without worrying about rips or sagging.

1. Laminated PP Woven Bags
Laminated PP Woven Bags are your moisture-fighting heroes. A thin plastic layer is added on top of the woven material to keep out water, dust, and grime. They’re strong and can handle heavier loads, too.
Used for:
Grains like rice and wheat
Flour and sugar
Animal feed
Bonus: You can still print your logo or product name on the outer layer.
2. Unlaminated Woven Bags
No coating here. These bags are super breathable and very budget-friendly. If your product doesn't need to be sealed up, this might be all you need.
Best for:
Onions, garlic, potatoes
Firewood
Light dry materials
If airflow matters more than moisture protection, go with this.
3. Woven Bags with Inner Liners
These have a separate thin liner inside, usually made of polyethylene. They're built for materials that need an extra layer, like powders or chemicals that can leak out of regular bags.
Great for:
Cement
Chemical powders
Fertilizer
They keep things clean, dry, and intact during transport.
4. BOPP Woven Bags
Want your product to pop in stores? The BOPP woven bags are for you. It has a fancy printed layer (called BOPP film) that allows colorful branding while keeping things tough underneath. Read more about how PP woven bags are applied across industries in our blog, Applications of PP Woven Bags.
You'll see these used in:
Pet food
Fertilizer
Seed packaging
Branded grains
5. Gusseted Woven Bags
These bags have fold-out sides, which means they can hold more while staying upright. That makes them easier to stack, store, and move around.
Best for:
Rice
Livestock feed
Grains in bulk
Tip: These are also great if your product will sit in a warehouse before shipping.
6. UV Treated Woven Bags
These bags are built to survive under the sun. If your materials are stored outside—even for a few weeks—you'll want this extra layer of UV protection.
Common uses:
Sand, salt
Bricks or cement on construction sites
Agricultural storage
Regular bags get brittle under sunlight—these won't.
7. Block Bottom Valve Bags (AD Star)
This design is made for automated packing. They stand flat, fill easily, and seal up fast with a valve at the base.
Used in:
Cement factories
Bulk minerals
High-speed filling lines
They're built for efficiency and volume.
8. Transparent Woven Bags
Simple but effective. These clear bags let buyers see what's inside. No printing, just clean product visibility.
Best for:
Grains or seeds in retail
Dry spices
Anything where appearance sells
No guessing—buyers can see the quality right away.
9. FIBC (Jumbo) Bags
These massive bags can carry over a ton—literally. FIBC stands for Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container. They usually come with loops so forklifts can move them easily. If you’re in heavy industry or export, this is the bag you need.
