BOPP bags contain biaxially-oriented polypropylene. They’re strong and resistant to tearing, making them a good option for products that are likely to get handled roughly. BOPP bags also have a high resistance to moisture and heat, so they’re a good choice for food products that need to stay fresh.
One downside of BOPP bags is that they’re not biodegradable. So, if you’re looking for an eco-friendly option, this isn’t it. BOPP bags are also not transparent, so if you need your product to be visible, you’ll need to choose a different type of packaging.
OPP is short for oriented polypropylene. They’re like BOPP bags in that they’re strong and resistant to tearing and moisture. They also have a high resistance to heat, making them a good option for food products. However, OPP bags are more flexible than BOPP bags, making them easier to open. They’re also transparent, so your product will be visible inside the bag.
Their high tensile strength makes them ideal for products that are likely to get handled roughly. Like BOPP bags, OPP bags are not biodegradable. And because they’re more flexible than BOPP bags, they offer less protection against crushing and impact damage.
PP bags contain polypropylene. They offer similar benefits to BOPP and OPP bags in terms of strength and resistance to moisture and heat. However, PP bags are more rigid than BOPP and OPP bags, offering more protection against crushing and impact damage. They’re also transparent, like OPP bags, so your product will be visible inside the bag.
One downside of PP bags is that they’re not as easy to open as OPP bags. And like both BOPP and OPP bags, they’re not biodegradable.
