Packaging for Independent Butcher Shops
Independent butcher shops are a cornerstone of Friesen Plastics' meat packaging business. These retailers need custom-branded bags that reinforce their shop identity while providing the durability and food safety required for fresh and frozen retail meat products.
We serve a growing roster of independent butchers across Western Canada. Each shop receives custom-printed bags tailored to their brand, available in a full range of sizes for steaks, roasts, ground packs, and specialty cuts. Both clear and white film options ensure the right presentation for each product type.
