Valve bags, sized to your packer.

Block-bottom valve sacks in paper, paper-poly, PP woven and BOPP woven, with the valve sized to your filling spout, for cement, lime, plaster, minerals and powdered chemicals.

What we source

A valve bag is filled through a small valve in one corner of a block bottom; the weight of the product closes the valve, so there is no sewing or sealing after filling. That makes it the standard sack for cement, lime, plaster, tile adhesive, gypsum, minerals and powdered chemicals on high-speed packing lines.

Our partner plants paste valves into four constructions: multiwall paper, paper-poly laminated woven, PP woven and BOPP laminated woven. The woven builds add tear strength and moisture resistance for products that sit outdoors or travel far; paper gives breathability and a natural finish.

Sizing follows your packer. We need three numbers, bag length, bag width and bottom (valve) width, which our catalog's size guide shows. Send them with the fill weight and we quote the construction.

Questions buyers ask

Short answers. For anything else, the quote form on our homepage takes attachments and we reply within one business day.

Will your valve bags run on my packer?

Yes, if the valve width and bag dimensions match. Send the bag length, width and valve width from our size guide, or a sample bag, plus the packer model if you have it. Samples are produced and tested on your line before production.

Paper or woven valve bags: which should I choose?

Paper breathes, prints well and is the norm for cement and mortar. PP woven and BOPP woven bags resist moisture and tearing, so they suit product that is stored outdoors, shipped long distances or handled roughly. Paper-poly gives a paper look with woven strength.

Can the valve be sealed after filling?

Standard pasted valves are self-closing under the product's weight. If your line has an ultrasonic sealer, tell us and we specify the matching valve.

What do you need to quote?

Product, fill weight, bag length, width and valve width (or a sample), material, print artwork and annual volume. Use the quote form on our homepage; we reply within one business day.
