When packaging food, safety and durability aren’t optional — they’re essential. Whether you’re storing grains, sugar, or frozen vegetables, your packaging must protect both the product and your reputation. That’s why many Canadian businesses turn to woven polypropylene (PP) bags as a trusted solution.
At Sackora, we’ve spent over 20 years sourcing and supplying high-quality woven PP bags that meet the strict demands of the food industry. Here’s what you need to know to make the right choice for your business.
Why Choose Polypropylene Bags for Food?
Woven polypropylene bags offer several benefits that make them ideal for food packaging:
Durability: With high tensile strength and tear resistance, PP bags keep contents secure during transport and storage.
Breathability: The woven material helps prevent moisture buildup, which is key for grains, seeds, and dry goods.
Cost-Effective: Compared to alternatives, PP bags provide excellent value without compromising safety.
Custom Options: Bags can be lined, laminated, or printed to meet regulatory or branding needs.
Trust Tip: All of Sackora’s food-grade bags are manufactured in facilities that follow HACCP and ISO 22000 food safety standards.
What to Look for in Food-Grade Polypropylene Bags
When choosing the right bag for your product, keep these criteria in mind:
1. Food Safety Compliance
Ensure the bags are certified for direct or indirect food contact. Look for:
FDA or CFIA compliance
HACCP-certified manufacturing processes
Documentation of material origin
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) provides guidelines on food packaging materials, emphasizing the importance of compliance with safety standards.
2. Lining or Coating
Unlined bags are breathable, but some food products—like flour, sugar, or frozen produce—require polyethylene liners or laminated finishes to protect against contamination or moisture ingress.
3. Bag Size and Strength
Choose bag dimensions that fit your product volume, filling equipment, and storage space. For heavier loads, opt for higher GSM fabric and double-stitched seams.
4. Custom Printing for Traceability
Custom-printed bags can include product codes, batch numbers, expiration dates, or branding—all critical for food traceability and regulatory compliance.
