Fertilizer & Chemical Packaging
Heavy-duty recloseable bags for granular fertilizers, crop chemicals, and soil amendments, engineered for chemical compatibility and field use.
Chemical-Grade Bags for Fertilizer & Crop Inputs
Friesen Plastics produces heavy-duty fertilizer and agrochemical bags for industry leaders across Western Canada. Our fertilizer packaging is designed for the unique challenges of chemical products, heavy fill weights, corrosive contents, and the need for UV stability during outdoor display and storage at farm supply retailers.
The recloseable bag line is available in 6 sizes, from small retail packs to large professional-grade bags. Our fertilizer bags feature proprietary green no-slip UV film with 2-finger handles for ergonomic lifting of heavy bags. Every bag is built to survive the supply chain from manufacturer to farm field.
