Process Flow:

1. Raw Material Sourcing & Pulp Preparation: We utilize sustainably sourced, virgin wood pulp or high-grade recycled paper fibers. These materials undergo a rigorous pulping and refining process to achieve the desired fiber length and purity, ensuring the foundational strength and breathability of the paper. This step is critical for developing a bag that is robust yet allows for essential gas exchange.
2. Paper Formation & Base Sheet Production: The prepared pulp slurry is then fed into advanced paper machines, where it is uniformly distributed onto a fine mesh. Water is removed, and the fibers interlock, forming continuous paper sheets. The base paper thickness and density are precisely controlled to meet specific tensile strength and tear resistance requirements, in line with ISO 536 and ISO 1924-2 standards.
3. Specialized Coating Application: This is a defining stage for our FRUIT BAGGING, INSECT PROOF, WATERPROOF, AND BIRD PROOF product. Utilizing proprietary formulations, specialized coatings are applied. These include:
   • Waterproof Layer: A biodegradable, plant-based wax or polymer coating provides excellent hydrophobic properties, protecting fruit from rain, dew, and irrigation water, thereby preventing moisture-related fungal diseases.
   • Insect Repellent/Barrier: Micro-perforated layers or specific non-toxic additives in the paper structure create a physical barrier and deterrent against common fruit pests such as fruit flies, moths, and beetles, without impacting beneficial insects or pollen types.
   • Bird Deterrent Properties: Optimized paper rigidity and occasional light-reflective patterns (UV-reflective, not visible to human eye) are incorporated to discourage bird pecking without disturbing the natural environment.
   • UV Protection & Breathability: While providing protection, the bags maintain optimal air permeability (e.g., typically 500-1500 ml/min/100cm² for fruit respiration, tested per TAPPI T460) and diffused light transmission to support fruit maturation without overheating or inhibiting color development.
4. Precision Cutting & Shaping: Large paper rolls are fed into high-speed, precision die-cutting machinery. This stage produces individual bag blanks according to exact fruit-specific dimensions. CNC machining principles are applied here for consistent, intricate cuts.
5. Folding, Gluing & Finishing: The cut blanks are then folded and sealed using food-grade, biodegradable adhesives. Specialized designs may include wire ties, staple closures, or ventilation holes for specific fruit varieties. Automated assembly ensures uniformity and structural integrity.
6. Quality Control & Testing: Each batch undergoes rigorous testing. This includes assessments for tear strength (ISO 1974), water resistance (Cobb value, ISO 535), air permeability, bag integrity, and material composition analysis to ensure compliance with food safety standards (e.g., FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation 10/2011 for food contact materials). The typical service life is designed for a full fruit growing season, generally 60-120 days, depending on environmental conditions.
7. Packaging & Sterilization: Finished bags are hygienically packed, often sterilized with UV-C light or other non-chemical methods, ready for distribution to target industries such as commercial fruit orchards, organic farming enterprises, and high-value horticultural operations.
