Food packaging

The minimum order value is SEK 10, the number of packaging bags for this amount depends on, among other things, material, barrier, size and whether you need one with or without a bottom and/or zip function.

You need to order at least 500 packaging bags of each design, size and material.

Example: If you order 2000 zip bags, you can get four different designs for the same price, as long as the bag is the same material and size.

It largely depends on what the zip bag is intended to contain and what effect or design you want. All of our packaging bags are adapted for food, but depending on whether it is, for example, frozen food or fresh, different types of construction are required. Our bags are built in two-three layers/barriers; surface layer, middle layer and inner layer. You can combine different materials to get a unique design and you can also get a matte or glossy finish.

These materials are available to choose from:

• PE = Polyethylene (plastic)
• PP = Polypropylene (plastic)
• PET= Polyester (thermoplastic and synthetic fiber)
• Kraft paper (white or brown)
• Bags made of recyclable or compostable material

PE + PE + PE = recyclable

PE + PET = NOT recyclable

• Transparent bags are available in both PE, PET and PP.
• Compostable bags are our most environmentally friendly bags and they are made from, among other things, agricultural waste, cellulose film and PLA, a biodegradable film.

Here, only your imagination sets the limits, you can create a design exactly according to your own wishes. We use high-quality digital printing which is advantageous because it is fast, you do not need clichés which means that if you want to change the design there are not a lot of extra costs.

Tear notch: A cutout on the sides of the upper part of the bag makes it easier to tear the bag seal to access the product.

Corner: You can choose between round or straight corners.

Euro hole: There is a standard hole in the upper part of the bag which is mainly beneficial if the bag does not have a bottom or is to be hanging.

Bones: The bags can be delivered with three different types of bottom.

• 3-side seal: A bag without a bottom that is sealed on three sides.
• Doy pack: A rounded bottom is usually the most common option.
• K-seal: Deeper bottom that is K-shaped. You choose this option if you want to maximize your bag volume or if you have heavier contents.

Opening function: When it comes to opening the bag, there are three different options.

• Standard zip: The most common variant of zip closure.
• Without zip: The bag is delivered without a zip function and is sealed only with a bag seal.
• Velcro zip: It is a wider zip that has Velcro-like properties that are advantageously used if the contents are in powder form.

Valve: The valves in coffee packaging have become an important component in maintaining the flavor and aroma of the coffee beans. These one-way valves help release carbon dioxide from the coffee without allowing oxygen to enter.

We offer a wide variety of bag sizes. Depending on what you choose for the bottom and what opening function you want, you have different options to choose from.

• Bottomless and zipless bags are offered from: (wxh) 50 x 90 mm – 300 x 350 mm.
• Bottom and ziplock bags are offered from: (wxhx bottom) 95 x 150 x 30 + 30 mm – 350 x 400 x 65 + 65 mm. Approx. 50 g – 3 kilos depending on how the product is designed.

Here are some guidelines for standard measurements for specific weight. If you want more space in your bag, we recommend going up a size.

Once you have decided on the size and material you want for the bag, we will send you a template, if you don't already have one, that you can follow when making your design. You then send it to us and we will produce a proof. Once this proof is approved by you, we will start the printing process and it will take about 3-4 weeks before you receive your delivery.

Food contact packaging means that it meets the legal requirements and standards that ensure it is safe to use with food. This includes the following:

1. Material safety: The packaging is made of materials that do not release harmful substances at levels that could affect the safety, quality or taste of the food.
2. Testing and certification: The packaging has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it complies with regulations such as EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, or equivalent legislation in other regions.
3. Migration tests: The packaging has been tested to ensure that substances from the material do not migrate (transfer) to the food in amounts that exceed permitted limits.
4. Compliance with hygiene requirements: The packaging is manufactured under conditions that ensure it is clean and free from contamination that could affect food safety.

Food-grade packaging protects consumers and ensures that products are safe to use and consume.

Food packaging can play a crucial role in strengthening your brand by acting as a powerful communication channel. Here are some ways this can be achieved:

1. Visual identity: A stylish and well-thought-out design with your brand's colors, logo and typography makes your products stand out on the shelf and creates recognition among customers.
2. Storytelling and values: Packaging can communicate your company's values, such as sustainability, quality or innovation, creating a stronger emotional connection with the customer.
3. Information and transparency: By clearly displaying ingredients, origins and certifications, you build trust and create a sense of honesty and authenticity.
4. Unique design: Specially designed packaging, for example through carefully selected materials and a unique print, can enhance the experience of premium quality and distinguish your brand from the competition.
5. Interactivity: Elements such as QR codes, games or digital campaigns integrated into the packaging can engage consumers and create a two-way communication between your brand and the customer.
6. Sustainability as a competitive advantage: Packaging that is recyclable, compostable, or made from recycled materials shows that your brand is taking responsibility for the environment, which is an important factor for today's consumers.
7. Practical functionality: Packaging with smart features, such as resealable zip-locks, creates added value for the customer and strengthens the impression of a well-thought-out brand.
8. Emotional connection: By using storytelling on the packaging – for example, a background story about the product or company – you can create an emotional connection with customers.
9. Seasonal adjustments and promotions: Packaging themed around holidays, seasons or special editions gives customers a reason to come back and creates curiosity about the brand.
10. Customer loyalty: A positive packaging experience creates long-lasting impressions and increases the likelihood that customers will choose your brand again.

By combining aesthetics, functionality and storytelling, food packaging can become a powerful part of your branding strategy.
