Jute sacking bags that are lightweight and made to hold 50 kg of food grains provide durability, sustainability, and practicality. Because these specialty bags are made from natural jute fibers, they are a sustainable option for bulk grain packaging. 50 kg of food grains are safely contained in these jute sacking bags because of their remarkable tensile strength and longevity, which belies their lightweight design. They shield the grains from moisture, pests, and physical harm since they are made to resist the rigors of storage and transit. It assists in controlling the amount of moisture in the bags, avoiding the accumulation of moisture that might cause mold or deterioration.
The official standard for bags used in food packaging is IS 16186:2014. By following these standards, manufacturers lower their risk of responsibility and legal problems by ensuring that their goods comply with all applicable requirements. Adherence to these guidelines assists producers in upholding quality control throughout their manufacturing procedures, diminishing discrepancies in the caliber of their output. These guidelines guarantee that the bags do their intended job of protecting food quality.
Note: In order to pack 50 kg of foodgrains, manufacturers of lightweight jute sacking bags must get the mandatory ISI Mark Certification.
The ISI certification plays a crucial role in guaranteeing the quality, longevity, and security of these bags, which are necessary for the transportation and storage of food products in India. It means that these bags have passed rigorous testing and meet the strict standards established by the BIS. These standards are particularly designed to assess the strength, durability, and appropriateness of these bags for foodgrain packing. This accreditation guarantees that foodgrains are efficiently contained and protected throughout storage and transportation, avoiding contamination, spoiling, and spills. The lightweight jute sacking bags are made with this in mind.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
