Material and mil thickness
mil thickness and resin blend should reflect abrasion, compression, temperature, moisture, and handling. For outdoor use, state geography, season, exposure duration, color, and whether the film is covered or fully exposed.
Agriculture Packaging
Custom agricultural bags, baler bags, sheeting, liners, and pallet covers specified for crop or material, weight, abrasion, moisture, field handling, and stated outdoor exposure.
Understanding Agriculture Packaging
Agricultural film encounters wet product, soil, compression, wind, sunlight, and seasonal handling. Produce bags, baler bags, ground cover, and pallet protection each require a different construction. UV additives can be reviewed, but outdoor life cannot be guaranteed without defined exposure and testing.
From Our Factory Floor
How M Plastics Approaches Agriculture Packaging
Agricultural packaging is tested by the field, not the conference room. Our team starts with what the film will face—sunlight, wind, wet product, abrasive contents, compression, and seasonal handling. M Plastics has addressed these jobs by manufacturing custom mil thicknesses and dimensions for the actual crop, bale, pallet, or outdoor application, with UV options reviewed when exposure demands them.
Family-owned and manufacturing in Los Angeles since 2005.
Common Agriculture Applications
- Produce and harvest bags
- Baler and agricultural material bags
- Ground cover and protective sheeting
- Seed, feed, and pallet protection
What We Need to Build the Right Package
Identify contents, filled weight, abrasion, compression, outdoor exposure duration, UV requirement, temperature, moisture, bagging equipment, dimensions, and printing. Outdoor life depends on the complete application and should be tested.

View Product →Packaging Challenges to Resolve
- Crop stems, soil, and compressed material can abrade or puncture film.
- Sunlight, heat, wind, and installation stress affect outdoor performance.
- Baling and pallet compression load seams and corners.
- Food-contact and non-food agricultural uses require separate specifications.
Construction and Feature Guidance
- Lay-flat or gusseted bags serve produce, seed, feed, and material handling.
- Baler bags are sized around bale dimensions, compression, loading, and closure.
- Sheeting format and fold determine installation efficiency and coverage.
- Pallet covers can include reviewed color, opacity, or UV-stabilized options.
From Film Specification to the Packing Line
Manual and Automated Packing
Identify manual filling, baling, form-fill-seal, or other equipment; provide dimensions, sealing method, rate, and how the package is palletized or installed.
Testing and Limitations
Test filled or installed samples under representative field conditions. UV stabilization is an option to specify, not a promise of a fixed outdoor lifetime.
A material declaration or FDA-grade resin does not approve a finished package for every product or process. The customer remains responsible for application-specific regulatory review and validation.
Agriculture Packaging FAQ
Practical answers from a manufacturer. Final specifications are confirmed for your product, equipment, and use conditions.
Can you add UV protection to agricultural film?
UV-stabilized options may be available. Required exposure, geography, film color, thickness, and use conditions must be reviewed before specifying the material.
Do you make heavy baler bags?
Yes. We can manufacture custom bags for agricultural materials based on bale dimensions, compression, handling, and mil thickness requirements.
Can agricultural bags be custom printed?
Yes. In-house printing is available for branding, product identification, and approved handling information.
How should we approve the final agriculture bag?
Review a production-representative sample with the actual product, packing method, closure, storage, and distribution conditions. Approval criteria should be documented before the full run.
What should we send with a quote request?
Identify contents, filled weight, abrasion, compression, outdoor exposure duration, UV requirement, temperature, moisture, bagging equipment, dimensions, and printing. Outdoor life depends on the complete application and should be tested.
