About the significance of doing the rice bag business
Do you know the resin bags used to transport rice and wheat? It has excellent durability and is used not only for transporting rice and wheat, but also for earthen bags in the event of a disaster, and is commonly used overseas. However, domestic demand in recent years has shifted to flexible containers (flexible containers) and paper bags. As a result, we were the last company to have a factory capable of integrated production of resin bags for rice and wheat.
What would happen if domestic production of resin bags for rice and wheat stopped and imports from overseas became difficult? For example, it may be difficult to carry rice or make sandbags. Considering the recent corona disaster and the international situation such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it may happen in the near future.
We have the only machine in Japan that can perform integrated manufacturing from the original fabric (roll). How can we keep moving without stopping production? After thinking about it, I developed a product called COME SACK using resin bags for rice and wheat. We strongly hope that many people will pick up our products and continue to protect the only factory in Japan, develop products that use rice bags, and have many people pick up our products.

1. Weaving work on Japan's only resin bag loom for rice and wheat
A large number of threads are passed through a machine to create a cylindrical raw fabric. From the beginning to the end, we finish the raw fabric by replenishing the yarn, replacing the yarn, and inspecting the machine.
2. Unusual retro rubber stamp printing process
The finished raw fabric is cut into bags while printing the necessary indications. We check the quality of printing and weaving, and select only the best products for sewing.
3. Sewing process by hand one by one
The printed and cut resin bags are stitched one by one to create easy-to-use, safe and secure products.
4. Inspection
We check each finished product for any problems before delivering it to the customer.
