A plastic bag, polybag, or pouch is a type of packaging made of thin, flexible, plastic film, nonwoven fabric, or plastic textile. Plastic bags are use for containing and transporting goods such as foods, produce, powders, ice, magazines, chemicals and waste.Several design options and features are available. Some bags have gussets to allow a higher volume of contents. Some have the ability to stand up on a shelf or a refrigerator. Some have easy-opening or reclosable options. Handles are cut into or added onto some.Plastic bags usually use less material than comparable boxes, cartons, or jars, thus are often considered as reduced or minimized packaging



Packaging

Packaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. It also refers to the process of design, evaluation, and production of packages. Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells. It is a barrier from oxygen, water vapour, dust, etc. Packages can have features that add convenience in distribution, handling, stacking, display, sale, opening, reclosing, use, dispensing, reuse, recycling, and ease of disposal.  Keeping the contents clean, fresh, sterile and safe for the intended shelf life is a primary function.

Package development involves considerations for sustainability, environmental responsibility, and applicable environmental and recycling regulations. It may involve a life cycle assessment which considers the material and energy inputs and outputs to the package, the packaged product (contents), the packaging process, the logistics system, waste management, etc. It is necessary to know the relevant regulatory requirements for point of manufacture, sale, and use. The traditional “three R’s” of reduce, reuse, and recycle are part of a waste hierarchy which may be considered in product and package development.

FLEXO PRINTING BAGS

Flexographic printed bags (L.D.P.E, H.D.P.E) can be used for various process industries as packaging of materials. These bags are durable in quality and light in weight. Flexographic printing is used throughout the world as the process of choice for package printing. It is –for instance- used for printing on the non-porous substrates required for various types of food packaging. Typical products printed using flexography include brown corrugated boxes, flexible packaging including retail and shopping bags, food and hygiene bags and sacks, milk and beverage cartons, flexible plastics, self adhesive labels, disposable cups and containers, envelopes and wallpaper.





Semi-embossed film is mainly used by tyre manufacturers, tread and bonding manufacturers, conveyor belt manufacturers, rubber coated fabric manufacturers, etc. The diamond shaped embossing in the film helps in the easy removal of air between the film and rubber; while calendaring results in easy and distortion-free removal of air between the films from the rubber.
