Biodegradable Pouches Manufacturer

Biodegradable packaging, some also called Compostable packaging, is made, disposed of and breaks down in a manner that is kinder to the environment than plastic. It is made from plant-based, recycled materials and can return to earth quickly and safely as soil when disposed of in the right environmental conditions.

The major benefits to the environment are that Biodegradable packaging requires less carbon to produce, reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill and provides the earth with life-promoting nutrients.

Such eco-friendly flexible packaging is the future of packaging way. More an more countries carry out green packaging policy.

Compostable products are defined as biodegradable and non-toxic. They break down into water, biomass, and carbon dioxide within 90 to 180 days of disposal. In addition to their ability to completely break down, they also disintegrate into the compost with nothing left behind.

So, not only is composting safer to human and environmental health, but it basically leaves behind no negative effects whatsoever.

Biodegradable bags are widely used for the packaging of food, coffee, tea, snacks, candy, garments, and digital accessories.

Ouma Biodegradable pouches are widely used for the packaging of food, snack, coffee, tea, cosmetics and personal hygiene, pharmaceutical and medical products, nutritional supplement and health food, and industrial & non-food items.

Biodegradable coffee bag is one of the main usage. Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain Coffee species. Coffee goes in different form, roasted coffee beans, ground coffee, or liquid.

By applying with different add-ons, compostable bags can bring the consumers great convenience, and happiness.

Various accessories will be applied to our eco-friendly packaging, which will make it easier for customers and retailers when opening, packing, resealing the contents.

It’s fully customized to use what kinds of add-ons for your biodegradable bags. Or just reach us, we will offer you the best proposals, based on your market demands.

Biodegradable pouches can be made from a variety of substances which include paper, PLA, PBS, NK, etc. It will be converted into many different pouch types, according to the packaging and promotion demands.

Some products need the packaging with bio-plastic materials only, without kraft paper insdie the lamination. Then we can go with the structure of NK//PBS. NK is one of biodegradable films with the feature of high barrier to water vapor, moisture, oxygen. If it needs to prevent UV lights, NKME will be added in as the middle layer.

Printing on kraft paper is only with max 4 colors. But with bio-plastic structure above, it’s available with printing of upto 8 colors. This composit structure has wider application on flexible packaging.

Printing design, dimensions are all fully customized on all biodegradable bags.

Vacuum packaging bags are manufactured by using multilayer films. Vacuum packaging bags can be customized by having the following; euroslot, cut-out handles to ensure comfortable handling. The pouches that are made available for vacuum packaging bags include:

• Three-side seal bags
• Stand up pouches
• Side gusset bags and more

Vacuum pouches can be produced as clear or frosted. Surface printing will be done on the packaging design. Making use of vacuum packaging bags elongates shelf life of goods. Make sure to indicate what size pouch you would want to order, as the size variations range from; 50gr, 75 gr, 100 gr, 150 gr, 250 gr, 500 gr, 1 kg or even more.

The process of Vacuum packaging includes removing surplus air within plastic pouch prior to final sealing. By making use of nitrogen, which is a form of inert gas t helps prevent the crushing of delicate foods.

To keep long lastingness of food taste, flavor and freshness, biodegradable pouches with the capability to long last will be the significant need for the packaging of food and snacks. Coffee bags for the packaging of coffee take a significant part in packaging. Precisely, when these packages reach the market consumers, food or coffee flavor must be fragrant and taste the same as if it is directly exported from the coffee gardens.

Biodegradable food packaging bags from Ouma flex pack are a great promotional packaging tool that could be used as it lures consumers to the shelves hence encouraging purchases. All sustainable packaging bags can be custom printed, as we make use of the latest rotogravure printing techniques, up to eight colors can be used.

PHAs (Polyhydroxyalkanoates): are a class of biodegradable plastic naturally produced by various micro-organisms (example: Cuprividus necator). Specific types of PHAs include poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV) and polyhydroxyhexanoate (PHH). The biosynthesis of PHA is usually driven by depriving organisms of certain nutrients (e.g. lack of macro elements such as phosphorus, nitrogen, or oxygen) and supplying an excess of carbon sources. PHA granules are then recovered by rupturing the micro-organisms.

PLA (Polylactic acid): Polylactic acid is thermoplastic aliphatic polyester synthesized from renewable biomass, typically from fermented plant starch such as from corn , cassava , sugarcane or sugar beet pulp. In 2010, PLA had the second highest consumption volume of any bioplastic of the world. PLA is compostable, but non-biodegradable according to American and European standards because it does not biodegrade outside of artificial composting conditions.

Cellulose-based plastics: Cellulose bioplastics are mainly the cellulose esters, (including cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose) and their derivatives, including celluloid. Cellulose can become thermoplastic when extensively modified. An example of this is cellulose acetate, which is expensive and therefore rarely used for packaging.

Petroleum-based plastics: Petroleum-based plastics are derived from petrochemicals, which are obtained from fossil crude oil, coal or natural gas. The most widely used petroleum-based plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) are not biodegradable. However, the following petroleum-based plastics listed are.

PGA (Polyglycolic acid): Polyglycolic acid is a thermoplastic polymer and an aliphatic polyester. PGA is often used in medical applications such as PGA sutures for its biodegradability. The ester linkage in the backbone of polyglycolic acid gives it hydrolytic instability. Thus polyglycolic acid can degrade into its nontoxic monomer, glycolic acid, through hydrolysis. This process can be expedited with esterases. In the body, glycolic acid can enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle, after which can be excreted as water and carbon dioxide.

PBS (Polybutylene succinate) : Polybutylene succinate is a thermoplastic polymer resin that has properties comparable to propylene. It is used in packaging films for food and cosmetics. In the agricultural field, PBS is used as a biodegradable mulching film PBS can be degraded by Amycolatopsis sp. HT-6 and Penicillium sp. strain 14-3. In addition, Microbispora rosea, Excellospora japonica and E. viridilutea have been shown to consume samples of emulsified PBS.

PCL (Polycaprolactone): Polycaprolactone has gained prominence as an implantable biomaterial because the hydrolysis of its ester linkages offers its biodegradable properties. It has been shown that firmicutes and proteobacteria can degrade PCL. Penicillium sp. strain 26-1 can degrade high density PCL; though not as quickly as thermotolerant Aspergillus sp. strain ST-01. Species of clostridium can degrade PCL under anaerobic conditions.

PVA, PVOH {Poly(vinyl alcohol)}: Poly(vinyl alcohol) is one of the few biodegradable vinyl polymers that is soluble in water. Due to its solubility in water (an inexpensive and harmless solvent), PVA has a wide range of applications including food packaging, textiles coating, paper coating, and healthcare products.

PBAT (Polybutylene adipate terephthalate): Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is a biodegradable random copolymer.

NK & NKME: NK is a transparent high barrier heat-sealable compostable film. Based on renewable resources, it’s certified as compostable in both industrial and home composting environments, also suitable for anaerobic digestion. It has the features of Excellent moisture barrier, Excellent barrier to gases and aromas, Heat sealable on both sides, Excellent transparency and gloss, Excellent dead-fold characteristics, Inherent anti-static properties, Resistant to oils and grease. NK is formulated to comply with EU legislation for many room temperature food contact applications. Customers intending to use the film in a food contact application must request the Declaration of Compliance which gives full details.

The only difference between NK & NKME is that NKME has one more feature of UV lights barrier.

Ouma flex pack has been devoting ourselves to help achieve your success in the food and snacks market. So we take the food packaging bag quality so important as our lives. We focus on each process during the eco-friend packaging pouch production, ensuring the flexible pouch quality.

1. Order confirmation:

After having your purchase order, we will contact you and confirm each detail via email and telephone. You are welcome to reach us 7*24 by email or phone call whenever you like.

You will have our sales confirmation within 24 hours, including the size, color, add-ons and lastly the purpose. We will specify the requirement or properties you need to be included in your Coffee Bags.

2. Down payment:

We will send you the proforma invoice after you sign and send back the sales confirmation. You are supposed to arrange the down payment according to the PI. Normally, it will be 30% to 50% of the order amount.

We will launch the process upon the receipt of the down payment bank slip.

3. Raw materials preparation:

Our production department will prepare all the plastic films, and add-ons like valves, ziplock, spouts, etc.

If there is printing on the pouches, the printing cylinders will be arranged at the same time. It takes 7-10 days for the preparation of all raw materials and coffee pouch accessaries.

4. Printing:

All printing processes reproduce lines and / or dots that form an image. Printing is the process of manufacturing multiple copies of graphic images. Although most people think of printing as putting ink on paper, printing is not limited to any particular materials or inks. The embossing process uses no ink at all, and all shapes and sizes of metals, wood and plastics are common receives of printed messages.

The following major printing processes are used to reproduce graphic images. Each of these processes is suited for specific applications, such as newspaper, book, packaging bags, or textile printing.

–Relief printing:

The relief printing process includes letterpress printing, flexographic printing, and all other methods of transferring an image from a raised surface.

–Intaglio printing:

Intaglio printing is the reverse of relief printing. An intaglio image is transferred from sunken surface. It’s also known as gravure printing, photogravure printing.

–Screen printing:

Screen printing transfers an image by allowing ink to pass through openings in a stencil that has been applied to a screen mesh.

–Lithography printing:

It’s a relatively new process, dating from around 1798. Offset lithographic printing is the most widely used printing process in the commercial printing industry.

5. Composition:

The advent of composites was a revolutionary shift in packaging.Each single material has its own advantages, disadvantages and characteristics.

For example, metallic materials are brittle and not resistant to corrosion, but have excellent barrier properties; LDPE is chemically resistant, easy to heat seal, and easy to process, but its strength and oxygen barrier properties are poor.

Composite can make up for the shortcomings so that a variety of single-performance materials are combined into a new material with comprehensive performance.

The soul of composite flexible packaging lies in the composite, is the superposition of performance. This is also the technical core of the production of composite flexible packaging.

6. Curing:

After the packaging bag roll films are composited, it could not go for slicing right away. Because it takes 72 hours of curing before it’s available for next process. It’s important to make sure it’s a fully curing, otherwise the composite layers may peel off.

7. Slicing:

The roll-form raw material will be cut by slicing machines to exactly the width needed for a pouch. There will be always big quantity of film rolls, the slicing machine will cut with an accuracy of 0.1mm, and keep the roll in perfect conditions.

A perfect slicing will help to speed up the converting process. Otherwise, it will slow the production speed, and waste the coffee bag raw materials, bringing lots of lots and time and costs.

8. Converting:

Most of the converting job is done by machines. After loading the coffee bag film roll onto the converting machine, it will go through the first part of the machine, folding according to the pouch type, sealing the bottom and both edges, punching holes, adding ziplock, etc.

9. QC (Quality Control):

Product quality is the basis for the long-term development of enterprises. In order to ensure that all goods meet quality standards, we have established a perfect quality control system:

A. IQC: In-Line QC, there will be 3 production engineers keep checking each section on the production line during the whole production. In fact, the machines have auto monitoring functions, but we still arrange QC checking for 100% assurance.

B. FQC: Final QC: at the end of the production line, there is 1 QC checking each bag, and pick out the disqualified one.

C. OQC: Outgoing QC: before packing to export cartons, we arrange outgoing QC to do another 100% quality checking and pick out disqualified items in the case.

10. Packaging:

After the packaging pouches & bags are through the full QC process, they will be packed by bundles, putting into transparent poly bags. Pouches in bundles will be packed into corrugated cardboard cartons.

The packing quantity of each carton could be indicated by clients, according to different sales methods and purposes. In this way, the pouches will be packed by customized cartons specially for this order, instead of standard size. There will be extra cost for custom cartons.

There could be custom printing on cartons and labels as well. This will also cost a small amount from the client, but it will bring great help to the promotion and storage.

Besides the quality control during the whole biodegradable packaging bag manufacturing, we will carry on a lot of testing from the arrival of raw materials until the delivery of the pouches. In this way, we can assure that all the food packaging bags we deliver are all qualified, and strictly produced according to the purchase orders.

1.Quality testing of plastic films

Plastic films are one of the most important raw materials for the flexible packaging production. So we take this material testing very seriously. It mainly covers the testing as follows:

• Quality control of film appearance
• Quality control of film width and thickness
• Quality testing of film tensile properties
• Quality control of film surface tension
• Quality testing of the coefficient of film friction
• Film heat sealability testing
• Testing of thickness and adhesion of aluminium coated layer
• Detection of the thermal shrinkage of plastic films
• Testing the puncture resistance of plastic films
• Testing of plastic film transparency and haze

2.Quality testing of flexible packaging paper

The testing to the paper used for packaging pouches and bags include the follows:

• Testing of paper thickness
• Quantitative paper testing
• Detection of paper moisture content
• Paper smoothness test
• Testing the tear resistance of paper
• Testing the tensile strength of paper
• Testing of paper breakage resistance

3.Quality testing of Aluminium foil for flexible packaging

Aluminum foil and aluminum coated foil are both very important high barrier raw materials for flexible packaging, especially food pouches and coffee bags. So the testing is very important and strict.

• Appearance inspection of aluminum foil
• Testing of aluminum foil width and thickness
• Surface cleaniness test of aluminum foil
• Pinhole detection of aluminum foil

4. Quality testing of other packaging bags raw materials

• Printing ink for flexible packaging
• Flexible Packaging Laminated Adhesives
• Ziplock and slider closure for biodegradable bags

It’s mainly about the testing of biodegradable pouch gravure printing and packaging bag composition. Print quality can have a huge impact on a customer’s brand image. Flexible packaging lamination can have a significant impact on the user experience.

The testing of printing quality includes the testing of appearance, overprint error, fastness between plastic films and ink, printing color difference, ink glossiness, etc. The testing of composition covers the testing of adhesive spread, glue viscosity control, etc.

Testing of flexible packaging pouches and bags is one of the most important part among Quality Control (QC). The testing covers a wide range of subdivisions. Barrier testing of the green packaging bag raw materials: gas permeability & mooisture penetrability testing.

Testing of flexible packaging raw materials physical property:

• Tensile property
• Strength of composite
• Strength of sealing
• Tightness
• Pressure resistance
• Drop performance

Physicochemical and hygienic properties testing:

• Residual solvent
• Odour detetion

After the bio-plastic bag production is done, we will proceed with the delivery and shipping arrangement. During the period, the sustainable packaging bags will be stored in our warehouse for a couple of days.

All warehouses are in our plants, so all the cargos will be safe and sound before delivery. In most cases, it takes only 15-25 days to deliver your orders.

We work with professional forwarders for logistics and shipments. They will take care of everything about shipment and send the cargos all over the world according to schedules. We sell and deliver our goods to more than 40 countries in Asia, Europe, North America, South Africa, and Oceania.

We won’t bother the clients about the shipping and transportation by offering considerate service, including the customs clearance and transit on destination ports. The clients will save a lot of time and trouble from the jobs, just waiting for the cargos at their location.

The primary difference between compostable and biodegradable is that compostable products require a specific setting in order to break down, whereas biodegradable products break down naturally. Typically composting is a faster process, but only under the right conditions. Both of these kinds of products are better for the environment than plastic products that can take hundreds of years to disintegrate.

All compostable items are biodegradable, but not all biodegradable products are compostable. A notable difference between the two is that biodegradable products break down into a few natural elements, while compostable products leave behind a single organic material called humus.

The term biodegradable is assigned to natural products that can be disintegrated into natural elements (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor) with the help of fungi, bacteria, and other biological processes. Almost everything is biodegradable, even some plastic, though it may take these products centuries to break down entirely.

Composting, in comparison, is the process of recycling organic waste for reuse. When carried out correctly, goods can be broken down in just a few months. The result is a healthy soil containing humus, which has a nutrient-rich makeup. The composting process allows organic carbon to return to the earth and reduces methane emissions (aka greenhouse gases).

There are many benefits when choosing biodegradable pouches, here is the list of the top seven reasons why we should choose biodegradable packaging products for your business.

1. Reduction In Carbon Emissions

Polystar’s unique biodegradable material is made from PLA bioplastic. As this is plant-based, the manufacturing process produces far fewer carbon emissions than traditional plastic. While traditional plastic releases four tons of emissions, biodegradable plastics emit only 0.8 tons of carbon – a 500% reduction!

2. Waste Reduction

Currently, the UK generates over 30 million tonnes of household waste every year, approximately 35% of which is garden and kitchen waste. As biodegradable plastics break down over time, this means there is a large reduction in the volume of waste being created which means less waste ending up in landfill. With less wastage taking up space in landfills, the outcome is less overall waste to manage. Saving land for other purposes and preserving the beauty of our planet.

3. Repurposing & Recycling

The oils that come from plants make bioplastics far superior materials compared to traditional plastic types. The oils make the surface of bioplastics more malleable and less brittle so that it’s easier to form new shapes and textures.

They are just as moldable as traditional plastics and can be turned into various appealing ways to suit your requirements. In addition to this, they can also be recycled and repurposed multiple times in their life cycle.

Compare this to some non-biodegradable plastics, they are not safe for repurposing because some materials can leak toxic, dangerous chemicals that may leak after the first use. Since biodegradable bags and packaging come from natural materials found in nature, there are no dangerous chemicals or toxins in these items.

4. Reduced Pollution

As biodegradable products break down naturally, they eventually decompose and are consumed by soil and other natural components. This natural process means no forced chemical reaction needs to take place to kickstart the process and less pollution will happen as a result.

Given that they take a lot less time to decompose than traditional plastics, they are easy to recycle, that’s too without releasing toxic elements.

5. Non-Toxic

Biodegradable bags are made from natural materials which means that they are safer for users.

Traditional plastics are made with harmful by-products and chemicals which are a threat to the environment and life as well. They are likely to emit these harmful substances during the breakdown process. What’s more, the plastic used for most standard water bottles, PET, can attract harmful bacteria or even leak chemicals.

But this is not a case with biodegradable plastic, further supporting the case for biodegradable plastics. They are safe and don’t release toxins during their breakdown process. They are absorbed by the soil.

6. Less Petroleum

Biodegradable plastics also minimises the use of petroleum supplies. Traditional plastic is manufactured by oil molecules being heated and treated to convert into polymers.

Nearly 2.7 per cent of a country’s petroleum is used in the traditional plastic manufacturing processes.

Biodegradable plastics, on the other hand, are made using natural materials such as sugar cane, corn, orange peels, starch, and plants. This process requires far less energy and usually does not involve the burning of fossil fuels.

Therefore, this means that the amount of biodegradable plastics that can be manufactured is much higher while simultaneously using far less energy. So, as well as using less precious resources, there is less pollution being produced. By reducing the production of traditional plastics and making more biodegradable plastics instead, we can reallocate oil resources to other causes like heating and transport.

7. Brand Friendly

Another benefit of biodegradable bags is the positive effect it can have for your brand. Major corporations such as Coca-Cola are using bioplastic products due to its sustainable reputation. Choosing greener options can have a positive impact on your brand alongside helping the environment.

According to the California Grocers Association, which opposed San Francisco’s recently-implemented ban of plastic grocery bags, standard plastic bags cost about 2 cents (1 euro cent), a paper bag 5 to 8 cents, and a biodegradable bag can cost roughly 15 cents.

The above is just a rough idea. To have the real and best quotation, the full details of pouch dimensions, materials requests, printing, inquiry quantity are necessary.

Items simply listed as biodegradable cannot be placed in your compost container, nor should biodegradable bags be used to set out your extra organic material.

1. Biodegradable plastics

Biodegradable plastics are designed to biodegrade in a specific medium (water, soil, compost) under certain conditions and in varying periods of time.

2. Industrially compostable plastics

Industrially compostable plastics are designed to biodegrade in the conditions of an industrial composting plant or an industrial anaerobic digestion plant with a subsequent composting step.

3. Home compostable plastics

Home compostable plastics are designed to biodegrade in the conditions of a well-managed home composter at lower temperatures than in industrial composting plants. Most of them also biodegrade in industrial composting plants.

4. Bio-based plastics

Bio-based plastics are fully or partly made from biological raw materials as opposed to the fossil raw material (oil) used in conventional plastics.

5. Non-biodegradable plastics

Non-biodegradable plastics last for long periods of time. They can disintegrate into smaller pieces, forming microplastics, and accumulate in the environment.

6. Oxo-degradable plastics

Oxo-degradable plastics include additives that, through oxidation, lead to their fragmentation into microplastics or chemical decomposition.

The eco-friendly nature of the pouch increases the recycling capacity of the pouch.Also, the renewable materials contained in the pouch guarantees its recyclability.The recycling capacity of the pouch makes it eco-friendly and a cost-effective choice.There are several ways to recycle the pouch.It’s up to you to decide on the process of recycling the pouch.

A pouch should be able to reflect your brand and product information.This is important in distinguishing your product from that of your competitors.Your products should be instantly recognizable and also aesthetically distinctive hence it’s important to use a pouch that can be printed.

You can customize the pouch to come in specific shapes and sizes. With the information in this guide, am sure you can choose high quality and reliable compostable stand up pouch.

In the future, we are likely to see bioplastics which will be more eco-friendly than their conventional fossil fuel equivalents. … Using these plants to produce bioplastics means CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored throughout the entire life of the product, and greenhouse gases reduced.

Bioplastics are also relatively expensive; PLA can be 20 to 50 percent more costly than comparable materials because of the complex process used to convert corn or sugarcane into the building blocks for PLA.

In the future, the goal is to use residual materials and waste streams for its production as well. Bioplastics have various pros – they are made from non-depletable, renewable resources and are carbon neutral – as well as cons.

Plant-based plastic is a type of bioplastic that is created from agricultural scraps, often from corn, sugarcane, wheat or food waste. … This means the resulting plastic could still be non-biodegradable and be made from up to 80% fossil fuels!

Kraft biodegradable stand up pouch is a widely used pouch that serves several functions and purposes.It comprises a combination of renewable materials such as wood, cotton, starch, and other materials.

You can use Kraft pouch for the packaging of both edible and non-edible products.The surface of the pouch can be customized and printed to reflect products and brand information.You can add a number of several features to Kraft pouch to configure it to match your specific needs.

Food freshness and shelf lifespan will be influenced by the process of packing, filling and sealing. Premium biodegradable bags, experienced staff, and suitable equipments are all the important issues during the packaging.

10.1: Packing and Filling

In the food and snack packaging industry, two types of form fill and seal machines are popular and widely used: the horizontal form fill and seal machine (HFFS), and the vertical form fill (VFFS) and seal machine. As you can imagine, their most striking difference is how the products these machines package are dispensed. But beyond the basic structure of the machines, there are a few differences that define the machines and make one or the other a better choice for every company out there, and even every product out there.

*Horizontal form fill and seal machine (HFFS):

Horizontal form-fill- seal (HFFS) machine brings you flexibility combined with rapid change-overs for your production needs, whether your requirements are side sealed pouches or stand-up pouches with or without a zipper, dry products or liquids.

It provides easy operator access and servo assisted recipe driven changeovers with a performance of up to 100 cycles per minute. Standard features include full servo control with HMI interface, operator side loading of film and zipper, up to four standard fill locations, top seal pre-heat, heat, cooling and servo pick-off with empty pouch reject.

*Vertical form fill and seal machine (VFFS):

Vertical Form Fill and Seal machines provide the speed and accuracy required to vertically fill and seal bags with a variety of products to help our customers meet their packaging demands.

Normally it provides a complete vertical filling solution capable of handling any product that requires laminate film structures and polyethylene films and a variety of bag styles including gusset bags, pillow bags, doy-style stand-up bags, flat bottom bags as well as a variety of hole punches and tear notches.

10.2: Biodegradable bags sealing ways

There are 3 kinds of bags & pouches sealing when packing the food and snacks:

*Hot sealing:

This is a sealing based on electric resistance. It’s with easy engineering, simple maintenance.

*Ultra Sonic sealing:

It’s based on ultra-sound frequency. This sealing will make hermetic seals, regardless of seal area contamination.

*Induction Seal sealing:

This sealing is based on electromagnetic resistance. It seals and cools at the same step, enabling packaging for a circular economy.
