The weave density of the material also affects bag strength. Vertical tapes are known as the warp and horizontal tapes as the weft. The weave density refers to the number of warp tapes and weft tapes per square inch of fabric. For example, a 14 x 14 fabric has 14 vertical tapes (warp) and 14 horizontal tapes (weft) per square inch. Material can be strengthened by making either the warp or weft tapes thicker, or by increasing the weave density.

Today, bulk bags are used extensively throughout North America. With the increased availability of specifically designed filling and discharging machines the use of bulk bags has increased from a mere 3 million bags in 1988, to over 30 million in 2002. The popularity and use of bulk bags will continue to grow as handling becomes increasingly easier and cost savings are even more readily identifiable over other types of packaging. Intermediate bulk containers will also continue to thrive due to:
· Ease of handling;
· Space saving when compared to rigid boxes or totes;
· Hygienic considerations at discharge;
· Lower cost of disposal of used packaging;
· Labor cost savings, particularly at discharge;
· Reduction of waste ingredient;
· Conducive for road, rail or container shipment;
· Environmentally friendly - ability to reuse and/or recycle bags.

To describe the strength of the tape, the industry uses the term Denier. Denier is a numbering system for yarn and filament in which yarn number is equal to weight in grams of 9000 meters of yarn. The Denier rating is directly correlated to the thickness of the tape. For example, Pacific Company produces main body fabric from tape that is 1500 to 2100 Denier. For the duffel or spout material, we use tape that is 900 Denier. The difference between these two materials rests in the thickness or width of each tape.

In addition to the more common U-Panel bulk bags offered by most bulk bag companies, Fulton Pacific Company also offers Circular Woven polypropylene bags. Circular Woven bulk bags, as a result of the construction style, have fewer seams. The tendency of polypropylene bags to tear at the seams or trap product is directly correlated with the total length of seams in the bulk bag. Thus Circular Woven intermediate bulk containers are often an improvement over U-Panel bulk bags.
