Friesen Plastics is a pioneer in polyethylene borehole liners for the mining industry. Our Safeguard liner systems prevent explosive residue from contaminating soil and groundwater — delivering proven environmental protection across open-pit mining operations in Western Canada and beyond.
In open-pit mining, blast holes are drilled and filled with ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) or emulsion explosives. Without proper containment, these nitrogen-rich compounds leach directly into surrounding soil and groundwater systems.
Unlined blast holes allow ANFO and emulsion residue to contaminate aquifers, streams, and watersheds with nitrates and ammonia.
Environmental regulations globally are tightening requirements for mines to demonstrate nitrate reduction and watershed protection measures.
Nitrate-laden runoff harms aquatic ecosystems, fish habitats, and downstream water quality for communities and agriculture.
Two product families engineered for different borehole conditions — from dry ANFO applications to challenging wet-hole emulsion charging.
Anti-static polyethylene tubing designed for dry boreholes. Prevents ANFO explosive contact with soil and groundwater. Lightweight, easy to deploy directly from the drill rig.
Engineered for wet holes and dynamic water conditions. Uses accordion-compressed packaging for rapid deployment via hydraulic arm and funnel system from the explosive truck.
Purpose-built packaging formats that enable rapid, reliable liner deployment in the field.
Liner is accordion-compressed onto a portable spool format. Designed for quick deployment in the field with minimal setup. The spool feeds into the funnel system on the explosive truck for smooth, controlled insertion into the borehole.
Liner is accordion-compressed and boxed for maximum storage and shipping efficiency. Ideal for operations that need to stockpile liners on-site. Same deployment compatibility with truck-mounted funnel systems.
For extreme conditions — a two-part system with an outer liner (Part 1) and inner liner (Part 2). Provides redundant containment in challenging geological or hydrological conditions where maximum protection is required.
Available in a comprehensive range of sizes to match your borehole requirements.
| Diameter | Thickness | Roll Length | Material | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4″ – 6″ | 3 – 6 mil | 500 ft | Anti-static PE | Continuous roll |
| 8″ – 12″ | 6 – 8 mil | 500 ft | Anti-static PE | Continuous roll |
| 14″ – 20″ | 6 – 10 mil | 500 ft | Anti-static PE | Continuous roll |

43 SKUs and counting — micro-perforated, vented, and custom-printed carrot bags for baby, standard, and organic formats.
With 43 active SKUs, carrots are one of Friesen Plastics' largest and most diverse product lines. We supply carrot packaging to over a dozen including leading brands across Western Canada(OXO-Bio), and. From 1-pound baby carrot bags to 5-pound family packs, our carrot packaging is engineered for the specific moisture, respiration, and visual requirements of fresh carrots at every stage of the supply chain.
Carrots are a high-respiration vegetable — they generate moisture and heat after harvest, which means packaging must balance gas exchange with condensation control. Our micro-perforated films create a controlled atmosphere inside the bag, allowing just enough airflow to prevent fogging and moisture buildup while keeping carrots crisp and fresh. This is especially critical for baby carrots, which have no skin barrier and are more susceptible to white blush and dehydration.
Peeled baby carrots require precise micro-perforation to control moisture loss and prevent white blush. Our 1-pound bags use higher perforation density and lighter gauge film (1.0–1.25 mil) for optimal shelf life.
Full-size carrots in 2#, 3#, and 5# retail packs need venting for respiration plus film strength for the heavier fill weights. We use 1.25–1.5 mil film with strategic vent patterns.
Organic carrot bags feature distinct branding with organic certification marks, often with OXO-Bio film options for environmentally conscious brands including leading brands across Western Canada.
| Weight | Typical Dimensions | Film Thickness | Style | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 lb (baby) | 7" × 12" | 1.0 mil | S/S Flat | Micro-perforated, high vent density |
| 1 lb (baby) | 8" × 14" | 1.25 mil | S/S Flat | Micro-perforated, recloseable lip |
| 2 lb | 9" × 16" | 1.25 mil | S/S Flat | Vented, printed |
| 2 lb | 10" × 16" | 1.25 mil | SOE + 1.5" Lip | Recloseable, micro-perforated |
| 3 lb | 10" × 18" | 1.5 mil | S/S Flat | Vented, wicket-ready |
| 5 lb | 12" × 20" | 1.5 mil | S/S Flat | Wicket, vented, custom print |
| 5 lb | 14" × 22" | 1.5 mil | SOE + 1.5" Lip | Recloseable, micro-perforated |
Custom sizes available. Contact us for specifications tailored to your operation.
Laser-precise perforation patterns create controlled atmosphere conditions inside the bag, balancing moisture and gas exchange to maximize carrot shelf life and crispness.
Film formulations and perforation density are tuned to each carrot type — higher venting for peeled baby carrots, moderate for standard whole carrots.
Environmentally conscious brands can opt for our OXO-Bio additive, which accelerates polyethylene degradation when the bag enters landfill.
Up to 8-colour flexographic printing for brand-specific graphics. We currently produce for over 12 distinct carrot brands with different artwork.
Our carrot bags are designed to run on the equipment your packing line already uses:
Vertical form-fill-seal for automated carrot bagging, especially popular for baby carrot lines running at high speeds.
Pre-opened wicket bags for efficient hand-pack operations common in smaller prairie packing sheds.

Gusseted bags designed for the bulky shape of whole cauliflower — vented for freshness and clear for product visibility.
Friesen Plastics produces 3 active SKUs for cauliflower packaging, featuring gusseted bag designs that accommodate the irregular, bulky shape of whole cauliflower heads. Our cauliflower bags use clear, high-clarity film to showcase the product while providing the ventilation needed to prevent moisture buildup and yellowing.
Cauliflower packaging requires a different approach than flat-packed root vegetables. The rounded, irregular shape demands bottom and side gussets for proper fit, while the product's sensitivity to moisture and ethylene means venting is essential. Our bags are also well-suited for broccoli and romanesco — vegetables with similar shape and freshness requirements.
| Weight | Typical Dimensions | Film Thickness | Style | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single head | 14" × 9" + gussets | 1.25 mil | Gusseted | Vented, clear |
| Single head (large) | 16" × 10" + gussets | 1.25 mil | Gusseted | Vented, clear |
| 2-count | 16" × 14" + gussets | 1.5 mil | Gusseted | Vented, printed option |
Custom sizes available. Contact us for specifications tailored to your operation.
Vent holes prevent moisture buildup and ethylene accumulation that causes yellowing and premature deterioration of cauliflower.
Bottom and side gussets expand to accommodate the irregular, rounded shape of whole cauliflower heads without excessive bag material.

Form-fitting celery cap bags and sleeves designed for bunched celery — lightweight, clear, and ready for retail display.
Friesen Plastics produces celery cap bags designed to fit over the top of trimmed celery bunches. This packaging format protects the leafy tops while leaving the base exposed, creating a clean retail presentation that customers expect on the grocery shelf.
Celery packaging needs to be lightweight (our caps use 1.0 mil film), form-fitting to stay in place during handling and display, and clear enough to let the product speak for itself. Our celery caps work for standard celery bunches, celery hearts, and can be adapted for celery stick packaging as well.
| Weight | Typical Dimensions | Film Thickness | Style | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Celery cap | 10" × 16" | 1.0 mil | Cap/Sleeve | Clear, form-fitting |

Gusseted bags for fresh corn on the cob — foodservice and retail formats for Western Canada's seasonal harvest.
Friesen Plastics produces 2 active SKUs for sweet corn packaging, focused on gusseted foodservice bags that accommodate the irregular shape of corn cobs. Sweet corn is one of the prairies' signature seasonal crops, and our packaging is designed to handle the high-volume, time-sensitive nature of the harvest season.
Corn packaging must accommodate the long, cylindrical shape of cobs while providing ventilation to prevent heat buildup. Our gusseted bag design expands to fit multiple cobs per bag without excessive wrinkling, and strategic venting keeps the product fresh during the short window from harvest to consumer. We offer both clear bags for roadside and farm-gate sales and printed bags for foodservice and retail distribution.

Heavy-duty 10# bags for rutabaga — 2.0 mil film with recloseable lip, vented for this dense root vegetable.
Friesen Plastics produces rutabaga bags for in 10-pound retail format. Rutabaga is a dense, heavy root vegetable that demands durable packaging — our bags use 2.0 mil film with a 1.75-inch recloseable lip and strategic venting to maintain product quality from packing shed to grocery shelf.
Rutabaga packaging shares many characteristics with our turnip, beet, and parsnip bag lines. The heavy fill weight requires strong seals and thick film, while the product's long storage life means packaging must prevent moisture loss over extended periods. Our vented design allows just enough airflow to prevent condensation without dehydrating the product. The recloseable lip is especially useful for a 10-pound bag that consumers may use over several meals.

Wider, taller gusseted bags for irregular-shaped sourdough loaves, multigrain bread, and artisan bakes — custom printed for craft bakery branding.
Artisan bread doesn't come in standard shapes — and neither should its packaging. Sourdough boules, multigrain loaves, and hand-shaped baguettes require bags with extra width and height to accommodate their irregular profiles. Friesen Plastics produces gusseted bags specifically designed for artisan bakeries, with generous dimensions that allow the bread to sit naturally without compression.
We work with craft bakeries including leading brands across Western Canadato produce custom-branded bags that reflect the premium quality of their products. Our 3-gusset bottom design allows bags to stand upright on retail shelves, showcasing the bread's natural shape and crust texture through high-clarity film.

Specialty gusseted bags for Caribbean-style hardo bread — engineered for large, dense loaves.
Hardo bread is a staple of Caribbean cuisine — a dense, slightly sweet white bread with a firm crust and soft, chewy interior. It's traditionally baked in a tall, cylindrical shape that's significantly heavier and denser than standard sandwich bread. Friesen Plastics produces specialty packaging for Large Hardo, demonstrating our ability to serve diverse cultural bakery markets across Canada.
Hardo bread presents unique packaging challenges. The loaf's density (significantly heavier than standard bread) requires thicker film for tear resistance. Its tall, round shape demands a wider gusseted bag with extra headroom. And because hardo is often sold in Caribbean grocery stores and specialty markets, the packaging needs to stand out in a retail environment that values vibrant branding and cultural authenticity. Our 9.5" × 17" bags with 4" gussets are specifically sized for this format.
| Size / Count | Typical Dimensions | Gusset | Film Thickness | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large Hardo Loaf | 9.5" × 17" | 4" Bottom | 1.5 mil | Custom printed, gusseted |
| Medium Hardo Loaf | 8" × 15" | 3" Bottom | 1.25 mil | Printed, gusseted |
| Hardo Roll (multi-pack) | 10" × 14" | 3" Bottom | 1.0 mil | Multi-count, printed |
Custom sizes available. Contact us for specifications tailored to your bakery operation.
1.5 mil film handles the extra weight and density of hardo bread without tearing or puncturing during packing and transport.
4-inch bottom gusset accommodates the tall, round profile of hardo loaves and allows bags to stand upright for retail display.
Full-colour flexographic printing captures the vibrant aesthetic of Caribbean bakery brands with bold graphics and cultural imagery.
Micro-perforations allow residual moisture to escape from the dense crumb, preventing condensation while maintaining softness.
Our bakery bags are designed to run on the equipment your packing line already uses:
Pre-opened bags on wickets for hand-packing of individual hardo loaves at bakery speed.
Kwik Lok or twist-tie closers for secure, consumer-friendly sealing.
Compatible with standard bread bagging equipment for bakeries that also produce other loaf formats.
Our hardo bread packaging includes full custom printing with bilingual labeling, nutritional information, and ingredient lists that meet Canadian food labeling regulations.

Recloseable bags with header and lip closure for corn tortillas and wraps — thicker film for consumer-friendly resealability.

Bulk multi-count bags, duo packs, and rollstock for bakery distribution, foodservice, and high-volume wholesale channels.
