Longview Fibre Company is one of the largest suppliers of paper to the multiwall sack industry where 2 or more plies of paper are used to produce bags for such things as cement, flour, dog food, and industrial products.
Bags can be of many varied constructions to meet the needs of the end users.
U.S. bag makers are guided by Federal regulations that specify the paper weights and strength test requirements. These are very demanding test requirements which Longview Fibre meets through the use of high quality wood fibers, careful control of pulping, high consistency refining, and paper machines specifically designed for this product. Longview Fibre consistently meets the test requirements while maintaining excellent basis weight control. Special paper machine equipment is used to produce the enhanced stretch and TEA in this grade. Bag makers have been able to reduce the total weight of bags while maintaining, or often increasing, the performance of the bag.
