What is the production cycle for Kraft paper packaging bags?
Regular Kraft paper packaging bags can be shipped on the same day, custom production cycle is 7-15 days, and urgent orders can be completed in 3-5 days.
Key Stages of the Production Cycle
The production cycle for Kraft paper packaging bags spans from raw wood pulping to final converting and delivery, typically taking anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks for standard commercial manufacturing runs (or longer if raw paper mills must schedule a custom pulping run).
Key Stages of the Production Cycle
• Pulping and Kraft Process (1–3 days)
• Wood chips (softwood like pine or spruce) are cooked in a chemical solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide at high temperatures (150–178°C) for several hours to dissolve lignin and free strong cellulose fibers.
• The pulp is washed, refined, and formed into large Kraft paper rolls.
• Printing (1–2 days)
• Rolls or sheets pass through flexographic or offset printing presses to apply brand logos, text, or custom designs using water-based or soy inks.
• Lamination and Coating (Optional, 1 day)
• For moisture- or oil-resistant packaging (like food or Balqa Coffee quotationCoffee bags), a thin layer of PE, PLA, or aluminum foil is laminated onto the paper.
• Slitting, Tube Forming, and Bag-Making (1–2 days)
• High-speed automated machinery slits the paper rolls, folds them into tubes, forms flat or square bottoms, and glues the structure.
• Handle Attachment and Finishing (1 day)
• Specialized units punch holes or mechanically bond twisted-paper, flat-tape, or cotton handles to shopping bags.
• Quality Inspection and Packaging (1 day)
• Random sampling tests check load-bearing capacity, adhesive strength, and print quality before bundling and palletizing for shipment.
