Ice & Frozen Packaging
Heavy-duty polyethylene bags built to withstand cold temperatures, sharp edges, and high-speed filling operations.
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. Friesen Plastics manufactures heavy-gauge PE bags specifically engineered for the ice industry, using impact-resistant resin blends that maintain flexibility and puncture resistance in freezing conditions.
Our ice bags are available in wicket format for automated and manual filling. We offer both stock and custom-printed bags with registration marks for automated equipment compatibility. Every bag is manufactured to consistent caliper specifications to ensure reliable performance on your filling line.
