Packaging Engineered for Bakery Operations

Bakery packaging demands consistency at high speed. Whether you're running a bread bagging line at 60 bags per minute or hand-packing artisan pastries, the bag must open cleanly, seal reliably, and present your product attractively on shelf. Friesen Plastics has supplied bakery packaging to Western Canada's leading bread plants, tortilla producers, and in-store bakeries for over two decades.

Our bakery bags are available in wicket, perforated tear-off (PTO), and rollstock formats. We offer clear, printed, and micro-perforated options with customizable graphics up to 8 colours. All bakery packaging is produced in our BRC-certified facility with full traceability and food safety protocols.

Fresh Produce Demands Fresh Thinking

Produce packaging is a science. The right combination of film clarity, perforation pattern, and material structure directly impacts shelf life, moisture loss, and in-store appearance. Friesen Plastics works closely with produce packers across the Canadian prairies to develop bags that keep carrots crisp, potatoes dry, onions ventilated, and greens fresh.

We supply packaging to operations running Newtec, Volm, and Hamer-Fischbein equipment, and our bags are engineered to perform reliably on wicket loaders, net clippers, and flow-wrap machines at full production speeds.

Built Tough for Ice & Frozen Products

Ice bags face some of the harshest conditions in packaging: sub-zero temperatures, sharp crystal edges, heavy fill weights, and aggressive handling through distribution.

Our ice bags are available in wicket and drawstring formats for automated and manual filling. We offer both stock and custom-printed bags with registration marks for automated equipment compatibility.

Packaging That Performs for Pet Products

The pet food market demands packaging that is both functional and visually compelling. Heavy bags of kibble need tear-resistant films and strong seals. Treats need reclosable convenience.

Friesen Plastics produces gusseted bags, side-seal bags, and rollstock for pet food and pet care products. Our films are formulated for grease resistance (for high-fat kibble), scent barrier (for odorous products like fish-based formulas), and UV protection for products displayed in lit retail environments.

• Grease-resistant inner layers for high-fat content kibble
• 8-colour flexographic printing for premium retail shelf impact

Custom Apple Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics manufactures retail apple bags for growers and packers across Western Canada, including our 6# Ambrosia apple bags. Our apple packaging is designed with the specific requirements of tree fruit in mind — venting for ethylene release, film clarity for variety identification, and the strength to protect against bruising during transport and display.

Apples generate ethylene gas during ripening, making proper ventilation essential to prevent premature over-ripening in the bag. Our vented films allow controlled gas exchange while maintaining the visual appeal that drives purchase decisions at retail. We offer both clear and custom-printed options with vibrant graphics for variety branding.

Custom Beet Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics produces 8 active SKUs for beet packaging, serving leading brands across Western Canada. Our beet bags range from 10-pound retail formats to 25-pound bulk and foodservice sizes, all engineered for the unique demands of this root vegetable.

Beets present distinct packaging challenges. Their natural pigment can bleed, staining packaging and adjacent products. They're heavy and irregularly shaped, putting stress on seals and film. Our beet bags use 2.0 mil side-seal construction for maximum durability, with film formulations that resist staining and maintain a clean retail appearance throughout the supply chain.

Custom Carrot Bags — Western Canada's Most Trusted Carrot Packaging Partner

With 43 active SKUs, carrots are one of Friesen Plastics' largest and most diverse product lines. We supply carrot packaging to over a dozen growers and packers across Western Canada. 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.

Our experience across 12+ brands means we understand the nuances of each retailer's requirements.

Custom Cauliflower Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

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 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.

Custom Celery Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

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.

Custom Corn Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

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.

Custom Cucumber Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics produces 3 active SKUs for cucumber packaging, featuring our popular 2-count recloseable bags for retailers and other customers. Our cucumber packaging combines the convenience of a recloseable lip with the clarity needed to showcase this visual product at retail.

Cucumbers require packaging that maintains humidity without creating excess condensation — a balance that's critical for preventing soft spots and extending shelf life. Our bags use a recloseable 1.5-inch lip that allows consumers to reseal the bag after taking one cucumber, keeping the second fresh until use. The packaging is also suitable for English cucumbers, mini cucumbers, and other specialty varieties.

Custom Green Bean Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics produces a 1-pound green bean bag with a bottom gusset, designed for retail display of fresh green beans. Our gusseted construction gives the bag a stable base when filled, while micro-perforation ensures proper airflow to maintain the snap and colour that consumers expect.

Green beans are highly perishable and respire rapidly after harvest. Our 1.4 mil micro-perforated bags create a modified atmosphere inside the package that slows respiration, reduces moisture loss, and extends shelf life. The 3-inch bottom gusset gives filled bags a stable, upright footprint on retail shelves. This same packaging format is also ideal for snap peas, snow peas, and wax beans.

Custom Onion Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics offers full-capability onion packaging across the complete range of retail and foodservice formats. Onions are one of the most demanding produce items to package — they require maximum ventilation, UV protection for outdoor and warehouse storage, and heavy-gauge films that withstand rough handling and high fill weights.

We produce vented poly bags suitable for all major onion varieties including yellow, red, white, sweet, pearl, and shallots. While mesh bags remain common for bulk onion formats, poly bags with printed branding are increasingly preferred for retail consumer packs where brand presentation and moisture control matter. Our bags can be produced with UV-stabilized film for operations that store bagged onions outdoors before distribution.

Custom Parsnip Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics produces 7 active SKUs for parsnip packaging, serving leading brands across Western Canada. Our parsnip bags range from 1-pound retail formats with recloseable lips to 20-pound bulk bags for foodservice and wholesale distribution.

Parsnips are a seasonal fall/winter root vegetable that requires durable packaging to protect their tapered shape during handling and display. Our 2.0 mil film provides the strength needed for this dense root vegetable, while recloseable lip closures (1.5 inches) give consumers convenience for multi-use storage. Parsnip bags share many construction features with our carrot and beet packaging lines.

Custom Pear Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics produces 2 active SKUs for pear packaging — 5-pound Bartlett Pear bags and 5-pound Packham Pear bags. Our pear packaging is engineered for the specific challenges of this delicate tree fruit: ethylene management for ripening control, film cushioning for bruise prevention, and clarity for retail visual appeal.

Pears are climacteric fruit — they continue ripening after harvest and are highly sensitive to ethylene gas. Our vented bags allow controlled ethylene release to prevent over-ripening in the bag while maintaining the fruit in optimal condition for consumer purchase. The 1.5 mil film provides a balance of strength and flexibility that cushions pears during transport and handling, reducing the bruise damage that leads to retail shrink.

Pepper packaging must balance visual impact with product protection. Our recloseable lip bags (1.75-inch lip) allow consumers to reseal the bag between uses, while clear film puts the red, yellow, orange, and green colours front and centre on the retail shelf. Film gauge ranges from 1.25 mil for light mini pepper bags to 2.0 mil for heavy multipack formats.

Western Canada's Leading Potato Packaging Manufacturer

From 1.2-pound baby potato bags to 20-pound family packs, our potato packaging covers every variety, weight, and format the market demands.

Potato packaging must combine strength (potatoes are heavy and abrasive), visual impact (variety branding drives consumer preference), and machine compatibility (packing lines run at speeds demanding tight film tolerances). We produce potato bags in both S/S (side-seal) and SOE (side-open-end) with lip formats, available as flat bags, wicket bags, and rollstock for form-fill-seal operations. Our bags run reliably on Newtec weighers, Ishida multi-heads, Fischbein wicket packers, Sharp wicket packers, and all major VFFS equipment.

Custom Rutabaga Bags — Built for Western Canada's Growers

Friesen Plastics produces rutabaga bags 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.

Bags Shaped for Artisan Baking

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 across Western Canada, producing 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 clear film.

Packaging for Dry Bakery Products

Breadcrumbs and stuffing mixes are dry, granular products that require packaging optimized for shelf stability, moisture barrier properties, and easy dispensing. Friesen Plastics produces 5 active SKUs in this category, serving bakeries across Western Canada, with both retail and foodservice formats.

Our breadcrumb bags use heavier-gauge film (1.4–2.0 mil) compared to standard bread bags, providing the puncture resistance needed for coarse breadcrumb particles and the moisture barrier that keeps dry products crisp. Gusseted construction allows bags to stand upright on retail shelves and provides a flat face for product branding.

Every bun bag must open cleanly on the wicket, hold its shape while being filled with multiple soft rolls, and seal securely for retail presentation. Our 3G and 4G bottom-gusset bags provide the flat base needed for bun trays while our side-gusset options accommodate longer formats like foot-long subs.

Packaging for Caribbean Bakery Traditions

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.

Canada's Pita Packaging Partner

Pita bread is one of Friesen Plastics' highest-SKU bakery categories, with 21 active SKUs covering every format from 7-inch mini pitas (18-count) to full-size rounds in white and whole wheat varieties. We produce pita packaging for brand owners across Western Canada, including private label programs for some of Canada's largest grocery retailers.

Pita packaging requires precise dimensional control. The flat, round shape of pita bread means bags must be sized to hold a specific count (typically 6, 12, or 18) without excess headspace that would allow pitas to shift and break. Our bags feature bottom gussets for stack stability, 1.5-inch lip closures for consumer reclosability, and 1.0–1.15 mil film that balances clarity with the strength needed to support multiple weights from 243g to 630g.

Rye breads are typically denser than white bread, requiring slightly thicker film (1.2–1.5 mil) for tear resistance. The duo pack format — two loaves in a single bag — is a signature offering for deli and retail distribution, requiring wider bags with extra gusset depth. Our bags preserve the distinctive dark colour and dense crumb of rye and pumpernickel while providing the shelf life needed for retail distribution.

The Foundation of Bakery Packaging

Sandwich bread is the highest-volume bakery product in Canada, and the packaging demands reflect that — every bag must open cleanly on the bread bagger, accept a sliced loaf without snagging, seal reliably, and maintain freshness through distribution to the retail shelf. Friesen Plastics produces 10+ sandwich bread SKUs for bakeries across Western Canada, in both white and whole wheat formats.

Our standard loaf bags use bottom-gusset construction with a 4-inch gusset that creates the familiar rectangular profile consumers expect on store shelves. The 1.5-inch lip provides a twist-and-clip closure point, and our 1.0–1.25 mil film balances clarity, strength, and machine-run performance. We produce bags for loaves from 450g to 907g, with custom printing for each bakery brand.

Packaging That Honours Cultural Traditions

Sweet breads and specialty baked goods carry deep cultural significance. Paska — the rich, egg-based bread baked for Ukrainian Easter celebrations — is a perfect example. Friesen Plastics produces Paska packaging for leading specialty bakeries in Western Canada, in both 500g single loaves and 2-loaf master (duo) packs. This work reflects our commitment to serving the diverse cultural communities that make up the Canadian bakery landscape.

Sweet breads like paska, brioche, and holiday loaves are premium products that command premium packaging. The rich, golden colour of paska's crust, the pillowy texture of brioche, and the decorative toppings of specialty sweet breads must all be visible through the packaging. Our clear film, combined with custom artwork that tells the cultural story behind the product, helps bakeries connect with consumers who are seeking authentic traditional baked goods.

Packaging Designed for Tortilla Freshness

Tortillas and wraps require packaging that goes beyond a simple bag. Consumers expect recloseable formats that keep tortillas fresh and pliable over multiple meals. Friesen Plastics produces tortilla packaging for brands across Western Canada, using thicker-gauge film (1.75–3.0 mil) with extended lip closures that allow the bag to be resealed after each use.

Our tortilla bags feature a header-and-lip format — a folded header area for hanging display and retail branding, with a 1.5–1.75-inch lip for reclosure. The smaller bag format (7" × 9" to 8" × 10") is precision-sized for standard 4.5-inch and 6-inch corn tortillas, minimizing excess packaging while providing enough room for the stack to sit flat without curling. The heavier film gauge provides the rigidity needed for the recloseable opening mechanism.

Packaging for Bakery Distribution & Foodservice

Not all bakery packaging goes to the retail shelf. Wholesale distribution, foodservice operations, and in-store bakery programs require different formats — larger multi-count bags, duo packs for deli cases, and rollstock for automated bakery lines. Friesen Plastics produces a range of wholesale and foodservice bakery packaging designed for the different handling, storage, and presentation requirements of these channels.

Our foodservice bags use thinner-gauge film for cost efficiency at volume, while maintaining the strength and clarity needed for professional bakery operations. Duo packs — particularly popular for marble rye, pumpernickel, and rustic rye — allow retailers to merchandise two loaves together. Our rollstock film feeds directly into horizontal form-fill-seal machines for the highest-volume bakery operations that package thousands of loaves per shift.

Block Ice Bags — Built for Solid Ice

Block ice packaging requires a fundamentally different bag design than standard bag ice. Solid blocks are heavier per unit, have sharp corners, and need gusseted construction to accommodate their rectangular shape. Friesen Plastics manufactures heavy-gauge gusseted bags specifically engineered for block ice applications.

Our primary block ice account is, for whom we produce gusseted bags in a 6" × 4"SG × 22" format at 2.25 mil thickness. The side-gusseted construction allows the bag to expand around the block while maintaining a compact footprint for freezer merchandiser display. The heavier gauge prevents corner punctures that would cause melting product to leak.

Multi-Choice & Specialty Ice Formats

Not all ice comes in 10-pound bags. Specialty ice products — party ice, cocktail ice, dry ice, and multi-choice retail formats — require smaller, purpose-built packaging. Friesen Plastics produces compact bags for specialty ice applications, including our Multi-Choice 1# and 2# white bag program.

Multi-Choice bags are produced in smaller formats (4.75" × 10.5" for 1# and 5.25" × 12.5" for 2#) using white film for a clean, premium appearance. These bags serve the growing market for curated, small-format ice products sold at liquor stores, specialty retailers, and convenience outlets. We also have capability for dry ice packaging requiring enhanced cold-resistance ratings.

Friesen Plastics produces custom-printed T-shirt bags in both economy and premium gauges, giving retailers the choice between cost-effective high-volume bags and heavier-duty options for premium branding.

Our T-shirt bags are manufactured for efficient dispensing from standard bag racks and checkout counters. Available in multiple sizes from small convenience store bags to large grocery formats, with custom printing for brand identity and messaging. Economy options keep per-bag costs low for high-volume retailers, while premium gauges provide the strength and feel that upscale grocers demand.
