What the EarthFirst PLA film is?

EarthFirst PLA is an environmentally friendly, biodegradable and compostable film produced by Plastic Suppliers. Production takes place using the extrusion technique, from biopolymers produced by Nature Works from biodegradable raw materials based on corn grains.

The film has been developed as an alternative to sources based on the petrochemical industry.

It has FDA certificates for contact with food as well as biodegradability and compostability certificates in accordance with the EN 13432 standard.

Knurled bags for vacuum packaging

Knurled film is a classic construction of polyamide and polyethylene film used for vacuum packaging. This film is distinguished by an embossing (grid) on one side of the bag, which enables packaging in a vacuum by most of the external equipment on the market.

Knurled film bags provide an excellent barrier to oxygen and water vapor, very high mechanical resistance and very good transparency. The bags are suitable for packing most food products on vacuum sealers.

They are commonly used in small food production plants as well as in gastronomy due to the possibility of packing on vacuum sealers (low investment cost below 150 dollars).

Variants of manufactured bags:

Flat bag with side and bottom welds for vacuum packaging of products - also available with printing and a side cut for easy opening.

• Dimensions:

◦ height - from 30 mm to 900 mm;

◦ width - from 30 mm to 650 mm;

• The minimum volume of that dimension is 5000 pcs.
• Standard available dimensions:

◦ 150x200 mm;

◦ 150x250 mm;

◦ 200x300 mm;

◦ 300x400 mm;

VACUUM SEALER

It is a chamberless machine for vacuum packing of food into knurled film bags. It is not possible to pack on this machine ordinary PA/PE bags without a knurl.

Vacuum packaging by removing the air from the packaging allows for long shelf life and freshness of the food.

The machine allows you to vacuum-pack into knurled bags with a maximum seal width of 280 mm.

Thanks to its compact size and ease of use, the sealer can be used both in small catering outlets and in households.

 

Standing sealing bags

Pakmar offers a very wide range of doypack bags and bags with side folds. A modern production line can produce bags with:

• 1 ribbon,
• Two types of materials
• Four types of materials (in case of bags with a side fold)

Bags made of PA/PE, OPA/PE, OPP/PE film

They are used for packing almost all food products, eg: bones, meat, poultry, cured meat, vegetables, fruits and goods that require plastic packaging that is durable and resistant to mechanical damage (tools, pens, etc.).

For packing fish and cured sliced meat we recommend clear bags with metallic foundation ( PET/PE) in gold. This packaging perfectly exposes the packaged goods and prolongs its life.

Bags made of duplex, triplex, quadruplex laminates (eg. PET/AL/PET/OPP, PET/AL/PE, OPP/PET/met/PE, paper/AL/PE, etc.)

They are used for packing aggressive products such as mushrooms, sauces, sauerkraut, pickled cucumbers, ketchup, mustard etc. in souse, sour; bulk products: coffee, tea, cocoa, jelly, pudding. The use of laminates, where one of the components is aluminum foil, results in the product packaged in such a bag having excellent barrier properties allowing to preserve the freshness and flavor of the product for a long time.

Variants of manufactured bags:

• with eurohole or another type of hanger according to individual customer requirements,
• with a side cut - easy opening of the bag,
• with cap 45° or 90°,
• with a zipper closure,
• with seal narrow 4 mm or wide 8 mm.
• with a vent for venting
• with side fold

Bags for liquid products, sauces and liquid soaps

We offer standard closures located in the middle of the bag as well as on the edge at an angle of 45 degrees.
