EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio - May 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Food packaging bags are primarily used for food protection and food preservation. The most obvious reason to consider food preservation is mostly to fight the food bacteria in conditions of heat. Then in a sealed container, the prevention of recontamination is also tackled. There are certain industrial regulations as well that need to be addressed while designing the bags. These industrial regulations are not specific and vary in different countries.

Following are some of the food packaging bags that are mostly used in the food industry nowadays:

·        Paper Bags food packaging – The food packaging bags in the form of paper comes in 4 distinct types namely: the flat bags, gusset bags, rose-bottom bags, and the self-opening sachet bags. These bags are manufactured in different styles and types with the consideration of the weight and type of product to be used in the bag. The paper bags which are machine glazed or of sulfite material are the most common and most used bags in the market of today. The Kraft paper material which is normally derived from the sulfite pulp are mostly used where the food content is either stronger, heavy, or sharp edged. For oily and greasy food items, bags are made of glassine material to support such items. The only drawback in glassine or greaseproof bag is that the flavor of the food items is somehow deteriorated.  The quality of the food and its flavor can be maintained to some extent if good consideration is given to the closure and/ or packing of the paper bags.

·        Film bags for food packaging – The film bags are used primarily for packaging of food. They are known to give a lot more protection to food items as compared to the paper bags discussed above. In films packaging too, the bags are available in flat and gusseted styles. In some cases, the paper bags are combined with film bags where there is a requirement to give the optimum protection and presentation of the food. Even the least quality film bag is good enough to support stronger and sharp-edged food products. The good quality of film bag is necessary where the food items are relatively heavy. The material used for food packaging bags in case of film bags is the cellulose film material.

·        Food Mesh Bags packaging – The category of food packaging bags (http://new.pitchengine.com/pitches/c7fa3068-550b-4745-af7...) known as the Mesh bag is the most preferred and the most used option for containing the fresh vegetables. The Mesh bags are a requirement for fresh vegetables in order to provide them the necessary ventilation especially during their shipment or when they are placed in warehouses. The film bags can also support fresh vegetables but only if they are light in weight and not exceeding 3 KGS.

According to the environment and the geographical location, the regulations for the packaging industry are formalized.  For those food items which are exported to other countries, the manufacturers also have to formulize their packaging by considering the other countries’ industrial regulations as well.
