Food Industry

When a bag has to hold 20kg of onions, it has to be tough, and for that kind of load only a bottom seal bag will do. Vegetable processors also prefer not to use wire ties, since a wire can harm the end consumer, so a bag needs to close cleanly with a knot. Our bags knot easily because we use pure virgin material. A bag that is difficult to knot is almost always made from recycled plastic, which is worth checking before you buy. We also build in the details each product needs: air holes punched into the film for vegetables that must breathe, and a pink tint on the film for carrot bags. Tell us the product and the pack weight, and we will match the bag to the job.

Beyond plain and printed poly bags, our food packaging range covers the formats food businesses use across production and dispatch:

• Vacuum bags for chamber and external sealers, for shelf life and portion control
• Food grade carton liners for lining cartons and bulk bins
• Ice bags, bread bags and produce rolls for retail and wholesale lines
• Kraft paper stand-up pouches for retail-ready presentation

All are made to food quality standards, and any format can be produced in a custom size, gauge and print.

Printing your logo, product details and handling information on the bag builds brand recognition and helps with traceability through the supply chain. We print up to six colours in house through our custom printed bags service, on food grade film. For processors who want their pack to carry weight, batch or use-by information, print is a practical way to do it without a separate label step.

Buying food packaging through a reseller puts a layer between you and the material. Plastpack has manufactured plastic bags and film in Sydney since 1928. We extrude our own film and form the bags on site, which matters when the bag touches food.

• Food grade material with certification supplied to meet your quality requirements.
• Pure virgin film that knots cleanly and holds bulk weight, not recycled stock.

Because we use pure virgin material. A bag that is hard to knot is almost always made from recycled plastic. Easy knotting matters for vegetable processors who avoid wire ties for consumer safety.
