Advantages

  • Prevention of fine material loss: Ensure that even the smallest particles remain securely inside the bag. 
  • Enhanced bag integrity and durability: Strengthens the overall structure of the bag, making it more robust. 
  • Maintenance of product quality and contamination reduction: Keeps the contents in pristine condition, free from external contaminants.
