Food bags: the best solution for storing and preserving food
How to choose the right plastic food bags
There are different types of food bags, each designed for a specific role in food storage and preservation.
Types of bags by use
- Freezer plastic bags: Made to withstand very low temperatures without cracking or absorbing odours. Perfect for meat, soups, or ready meals.
- Refrigerator plastic bags: Ideal for storing cooked food, cold cuts, or leftovers. Suitable for a range of temperatures, from hot to cold.
- Transport plastic bags: Designed to carry snacks, fresh fruit, nuts, or sandwiches at room temperature. An airtight seal helps prevent moisture exposure.
Types of plastic food bags by closure
- Zip-lock bags: Easy to open and close, ideal for daily use at room or cold temperatures.
- Reclosable adhesive bags: Very practical for cold cuts and meats, with a glue seal that can be opened and resealed easily.
- Heat-sealable bags: Perfect for professional packaging or for extended storage in the fridge or freezer.
Types of bags by material
Food plastic bags are made from food-safe materials, such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
Some combine paper and PE, offering flexible and durable storage with a clean presentation, without altering the taste or smell of the food.
Advantages of using food bags
