Ground Meat Packaging
1 lb and 2 lb ground meat bags with wicket lip options.
Ground Beef & Pork Packaging
Ground meat is a high-volume staple at butcher shops and grocery retailers, requiring packaging that is both functional for the packer and convenient for the consumer. Friesen Plastics produces ground beef and ground pork bags in the most popular retail weights, with options for wicket lips.
Our ground meat bag program includes 1 lb formats in two dimension options (4.75" × 10.5" and 5" × 8"), and 2 lb bags at 5.25" × 12.5". Film thickness ranges from 2.0 to 2.5 mil in both white and clear options.

Packaging Features
Wicket Lip
The lip carries the wicket holes, so bags bundle onto wicket wires for semi-automatic and automatic bagging.
Clear & White Options
Clear film for product visibility or opaque white for a clean, branded appearance, both available in all sizes.
Grease-Resistant Film
Inner film layer resists grease migration from high-fat ground meat, maintaining outer package cleanliness for retail display.
Custom Print Ready
Full-colour flexographic printing for butcher shop branding, weight labels, and regulatory information.
