Produce Packaging
Engineered films for carrots, potatoes, onions, and leafy greens, optimized for freshness, ventilation, and retail shelf impact.
Fresh Produce Demands Fresh Thinking
Produce packaging is a science. The right combination of film clarity, perforation pattern, and material structure directly impacts shelf life, moisture loss, and in-store appearance. Friesen Plastics works closely with produce packers across the Canadian prairies to develop bags that keep carrots crisp, potatoes dry, onions ventilated, and greens fresh.
We supply packaging to operations running Newtec, Volm, and Hamer-Fischbein equipment, and our bags are engineered to perform reliably on wicket loaders, net clippers, and flow-wrap machines at full production speeds.
