Folmi offers high-quality plastic bags for expanded clay (LECA) for business customers such as expanded clay producers, building material suppliers, and gardening supply chains. These bags are ideal for packaging expanded clay (LECA), which is used in construction, gardening, and as an insulating material. Our bags provide durability, reliability, and convenience in storing and transporting expanded clay.
Production Options
Material: Our bags utilize various types of plastic, such as LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate, which are highly durable and environmentally friendly. By using regranulate, we can also contribute to reducing plastic waste.
Bag Dimensions: Our bags are available in widths ranging from 50 mm to 2700 mm and lengths from 100 mm to 3500 mm, allowing for precise size adjustments to each customer's specific requirements.
Bag Thickness: We offer bags ranging in thickness from 20 μm to 200 μm, allowing us to provide solutions with varying strengths, depending on the storage and transportation requirements of expanded clay aggregate. Add-ons
To meet the diverse needs of our customers, we offer the following additional bag options:
UV – an additive that provides UV protection, extending the life of the bags when exposed to sunlight.
Dyes – the option of dyeing the bags to match the customer's visual requirements or facilitate their recognition.
Anti-block, slip – a solution that prevents bags from sticking together, making them easier to handle and store.
Anti-slip – the film prevents slippage on the pallet when stacking.
ESD – protection against electrostatic discharge, which is important for sensitive materials.
Low-temperature elasticizer – a special additive that maintains the bag's flexibility even at temperatures as low as -29°C.
Flexo printing – the option of printing advertising or information, supporting personalization and building brand recognition.
Perforation – an additive that allows for improved ventilation, preventing moisture accumulation and facilitating expanded clay storage.
Applications
Expanded clay bags manufactured by Folmi are an ideal solution for companies producing and distributing expanded clay, such as building material manufacturers and gardening suppliers. These bags ensure safe storage and easy transport of expanded clay, ensuring its protection from weather conditions and ease of use.

Order Fulfillment Process
Order confirmation: Once all the details of the order have been agreed, the customer receives a final quotation for approval. Following its approval, the order is formally accepted for processing.
Print design verification: In the case of an order including a print, the customer receives the final graphic design for approval, which, once approved, is sent for production.
Release for production: Once the order has been confirmed and payment verified, the order details go to the production department, which begins the process of planning and execution.
Production of LDPE plastic: LDPE plastic is produced using an extrusion process. LDPE granulate is heated to a high temperature and passed through an extrusion head to produce a long, thin layer of plastic.
Plastic forming: Plastic may be formed in a number of manners as per the order – it may vary in transparency, coloured, thicknesses to match the customer’s specifications.
Preparation for printing: If the order is for printed bags, the production of plastic is followed by the process of flexographic printing. Matrices (printing forms) are prepared as per the customer-approved design.
Printing on plastic: the LDPE plastic is passed through flexographic machines, which apply the print as per the design. This technique allows designs to be printed quickly and precisely in a range of colours.
Cutting and forming of bags: After printing (or without printing), the LDPE plastic is confectioned, i.e. cut and formed into bags as per the dimensions agreed in the order.
Additional elements: At this stage elements such as handles, perforations may be added, depending on the order specifications.
Product packaging: The finished bags are carefully packed in larger packaging such as cardboard boxes or bulk bags to secure them from damage during transport.
Etykietowanie: Każda partia zamówienia otrzymuje odpowiednie oznaczenia i etykiety, które zawierają informacje o produkcie. Dodatkowo dołączane są dokumenty przewozowe i magazynowe.
Transport set-up: The order is forwarded to a courier company. The customer receives a tracking number and information on the expected delivery time.
Shipment tracking: The customer may track the consignment using a tracking system, which allows them to monitor where their order is at any given time.
Delivery of the order: Goods are delivered to the address indicated by the customer within the specified timeframe.
