What is a sack?
Sack is a Hindi word meaning bag. In Turkish, it is also called tlis, jwal or turba. Sack is one of the most common types of packaging in various industries and the agricultural sector, which is used to store, transport and protect bulk materials. Sack is usually made of synthetic or natural fibers.
Traditionally, sacks were handmade and have been used for many years. Cotton and hemp sacks are the next products in this field to be produced. In 1311 in Iran, the first sack weaving factory began operating in Rasht. With the increasing demand and progress of the petrochemical and plastic industries, as well as the introduction of industrial equipment and machinery in this field, plastic sacks entered the industry.
The main advantage of plastic sacks is the reduction in packaging costs compared to hemp and cotton samples. Depending on the type of application, plastic bags are produced in different models such as plain plastic bags, laminated, composite and jumbo bags.
In the Iranian market, the term “sack” is often used to refer to the same sack and has no independent technical difference with it. This term is mostly used in business conversations and can include different types of sacks with industrial and agricultural applications.
