PLA bags are made in PLA material, which is biodegradable and compostable.
Packaging bags in materials, like PLA laminated with kraft paper or pure PLA film, are great alternatives to other types of plastic packaging bags when your products have no requirements on barrier property.
Due to the property of being compostable, when we make such packaging bags, we need to order freshly made PLA films to make sure they deliver as long lifetime as possible.
Though more eco-friendly, PLA bags are more suitable to pack below types of products:
PLA stands for polylactic acid. It is a biodegradable plastic derived from renewable starch resources such as corn or bagasse. It is produced sustainably and is 100% biodegradable and compostable.
Yes. You can have your logo printed on the PLA flexible packaging bags and pouches. MOQ starts from 500-1000pcs a design.
We can make the printing mold according to the product samples or designs you provide. The price of the mold varies according to the size and complexity. It takes about 7 working days to make the mold.
PLA is used in many different flexible packaging applications, including trash bags for organic waste, compostable dual-use shopping bags, fruit and vegetable bags, lidding films, flow wrappers, and snack packs. In this segment, PLA is often used as part of a composite, typically contributing to the strength and heat resistance of the final product.
When used as a stand-alone product, PLA offers transparency and elasticity. Composting is often a preferred solution for thin-film packaging, which is difficult to recycle mechanically and is often contaminated with food.
Since PLA packaging bags and pouches are environmentally friendly products, they can degrade naturally in a certain environment. So if you store them in a warehouse, do not store them under spotlights, next to refrigerators, hot water tanks, or in places exposed to sunlight. We recommend keeping the insulated bag as the main storage and putting it on the workbench according to consumption.
Most landfills are not designed to allow biodegradation of their contents. As a result, PLA bags and pouches will react in landfills just like other organic waste, such as food. PLA bags and pouches can be composted in a composting facility. Furthermore, PLA is made from a renewable resource-corn-instead of oil-based plastics.
