Introduction
When the jute industry started in India, one of the earlier developments was the manufacture of jute sacks. The bulk of jute sack production is used for all types of jute bags. Sacking bags, woven wholly from jute fabrics, are available as plain and twill bags.
Jute bags, the other name for sacking bags are mainly used to pack cement, sugar and other bulky articles, which are packed in weight range from 50 to 100 kgs. These are tailored as per customer's specifications in terms of size and to meet the ever-increasing demand of jute bags in the farm sector, agro-based industries and cement industries.
The Jute Textiles Industry occupies and important place in the national economy. It is one of the major industries in the eastern region, particularly in West Bengal. It supports nearly 4 million farm families, besides providing direct employment to about 2.6 lac industrial workers.
