Bag Ice Packaging
Packaging across 5 lb, 7 lb, 8 lb, 10 lb, and 25 lb formats, serving ice brands across Western Canada.
Bag Ice, Our Largest Ice Format
Bag ice is the backbone of the convenience and retail ice market. We produce bag ice packaging ranging from 5-pound party bags to 25-pound commercial fills, each engineered for puncture resistance at sub-zero temperatures.
Our ice bag program serves multiple ice brands across Western Canada in multiple bag sizes, including 5 lb, 7 lb, 8 lb, 10 lb, and 25 lb formats. SOE (seal on edge) with lip format is standard for wicketed consumer ice bags.
