BBIS certification for HDPE/PP laminated woven sacks used in mail sorting, storage, and transport IS

Want to Supply Mailbags to India Post? Get BIS ISI Certification First – Here’s How

To sell HDPE/PP laminated woven sacks used in mail sorting, storage, and transport in India, getting BIS certification is now mandatory as per the Quality Control Order (QCO) effective from 06 June 2025. 

In today’s fast-moving logistics world, mailbags do more than just carry letters. They protect what matters—confidential documents, parcels, even trust. That’s why HDPE/PP laminated woven sacks used for sorting, storing, and transporting mail must meet Indian quality standards under IS 17399, and be certified with the ISI mark by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

At A2Z BIS Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we make this certification process smooth and stress-free, helping manufacturers like you grow in both government and private supply chains.

What is IS 17399 All About?

IS 17399:2020 is an Indian Standard that defines the requirements for laminated HDPE or PP woven sacks used for:

• Mail sorting

• Mail storage

• Postal transportation

These sacks are widely used by postal departments like India Post, courier companies, and logistics hubs.

The standard ensures:

✅ Strong construction
✅ Standard sizes and load capacity
✅ Resistance to weather and rough handling
✅ Neat stitching and finish
✅ Long-lasting lamination (on both sides)
✅ Moisture and ink protection

Simply put, sacks certified under IS 17399 are tough enough for real-world postal conditions.

Why ISI Certification Is a Must

Manufacturing or selling these sacks without BIS certification is illegal. But that’s not the only reason why you should get certified.

✅ Trusted by Buyers

Government agencies and logistics giants only buy ISI-marked sacks. Without it, your product is not eligible.

✅ Quality Assurance

Certified products pass durability tests like load handling, tear resistance, and moisture protection.

✅ Better Business, Fewer Returns

Less damage, less rejection, more happy clients. It’s your reputation—certified and trusted.
