Earthbag

EarthBag is a 3-side sealed flat bag. This environmentally friendly flexible packaging for dry and moist food can be recycled through paper collection. These paper-made flat bags have a plastic-free, heat-sealable coating, with a grease, water and moisture barrier.

EarthBag is sustainable because it is made from a source of renewable materials. These Earthbags are recyclable through paper recycling and compostable.

If desired, the EarthBag can be printed with natural water-based inks.

The EarthBag has been developed to provide a good and affordable solution for flexible food packaging, which is also environmentally friendly.

The EarthBag comes in three versions. Standard, barrier and high barrier. The high barrier is transparent, allowing you to see the packaged product!

To fill your products in Earthbags, we can also supply you with a high-speed, low-cost filling machine. Ask us about the possibilities.
