Industrial paper sacks have several key advantages, especially in industries like food, and agriculture. In this article we will discuss some of their main benefits.

Sustainability & Environmental Benefits

  • Paper sacks support a circular economy: Many are made from recycled content and can be recycled again. Our Double fold bottom sacks and our Block bottom sacks are made from paper sourced from renewable and sustainable forests.
  • Biodegradable & recyclable: Paper sacks are made from renewable resources and decompose naturally, reducing environmental impact.
  • Lower carbon footprint: Especially when produced with sustainably sourced wood pulp and energy-efficient processes.

Strength & Durability

  • Made from kraft paper, which is strong and tear resistant.
  • Our Open Mouth Multi-Walled paper sacks up to 4 ply, (with or without plastic liner) give excellent durability.
  • Our Double Fold Bottom Sacks are tailored for dry food goods like animal feed, seeds, and flour, these sacks feature a flush-cut closure, can hold 10kg-25kg of contents, and can be printed in up to six colours.

 

Breathability

Allows the contents to “breathe”, reducing moisture build-up or condensation which is important for food safety (e.g., preventing mould)

 

Custom made

Available in different formats:

  • Available in 6 different colours
  • Open Mouth Multi-Walled paper sacks up to 4 ply, (with or without plastic liner) made from paper sourced from renewable and sustainable forests.

Cost-Effective

  • Cheaper than many plastic or woven alternatives when mass-produced.
  • Fewer packaging layers needed due to strength and barrier properties.

Ease of Handling

  • Lightweight and stackable.
  • Compatible with automated filling and palletizing equipment.
  • Valve sacks allow fast filling without needing to sew or seal the top.

Reduced Static

Unlike plastic, paper doesn’t build up static electricity, making it safer for use in environments where flammable powders or chemicals are handled.
