The importance of packaging your products in a safe, attractive way should never be underestimated. We offer custom packaging options to suit a wide variety of needs, from printing bespoke designs onto your packaging, to supplying made to order custom vacuum bags with pre-printed details.

Printed Bags

Our BRC accredited flexible printed packaging option is great for facilities keen to outsource their packaging and save money on packaging set-up costs and overheads. Our printed packaging can be ordered in a variety of packaging types, each printed with your own custom design. Packaging types available include cold seal film, vacuum bags, stand up pouches, ovenable pouches, and many more.

Vacuum Pouches

Vacuum pouches are a fantastic option in cases where shelf-life is a priority. For use with various vacuum packaging machines including chamber-style table-top machines, floor-standing machines, and swing-lid machines. Vacuum packing means that products are packed with little to no air inside the packaging, reducing oxidisation - which causes food to spoil - and meaning products stay fresh for much longer compared to other packaging options.

Textured vacuum bags

Also known as special surface channel bags, textured vacuum bags are compatible with external clamp vacuum machines. Embossed or textured vacuum bags have an imprinted surface which creates channels through which air can easily be vented from the bag. Like our standard vacuum pouches, these bags significantly reduce the shelf-life of perishable food products, making them a popular choice in facilities where foodstuffs must be shipped long distance. Our textured vacuum bags are compatible with many brands of clamp vacuums including Foodsaver and JBL, and can be used by all sizes and scales of operations.

Stand up vacuum pouches

Stand-up pouches are a popular choice; consumers like them because they're easy to store and see, and manufacturers like them because they're functional and flexible. Stand up pouches can be used to store a range of goods from dry goods to liquids to powders, and their resealable opening makes them convenient for consumers. Our stand up pouches can be customised to your designs, so do get in touch to discuss your packaging vision with us. If you're looking for a convenient, affordable one-stop shop for packaging and food production equipment, The Food Machinery Company Ltd. can help. For more advice and information about flexible packaging and where it can be used in your operation, contact us to discuss your individual requirements.
