Flat Polypropylene Bags - Crystal Clear Food & Retail Packaging

Flat polypropylene bags are used to package bakery goods, cookies, candy, dried fruit, coffee, tea, spices and portion-pack snacks, retail items such as jewelry, cosmetics, soap, candles, stationery and craft supplies, and small industrial parts such as hardware, fasteners and electronic components. The moisture and vapor barrier keeps food from drying out, and the crystal-clear film lets customers see the product on the shelf.

Polypropylene is clearer, stiffer and a better moisture and vapor barrier, while polyethylene is softer, more flexible and more breathable. Polypropylene bags are crystal clear where polyethylene bags carry a slight haze, they hold their shape for a more professional retail look, and they tolerate higher temperatures for heat sealing. Choose polypropylene when presentation and product freshness matter most, and polyethylene when flexibility and breathability matter more.

Yes. All of our flat polypropylene bags meet FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact. They are made from virgin polypropylene resin with no recycled material, which makes them compliant for packaging bakery items, candy, coffee, spices and other fresh foods.

The most common method is an impulse heat sealer, which creates a clean, airtight, tamper-evident seal in seconds and is the best choice for high-volume operations. Flat polypropylene bags can also be closed with twist ties for reusable packaging, bag tape for lightweight retail display items, or a crimper sealer for a decorative crimped edge on gift and bakery packaging.
