Custom LDPE bags and liners for fresh and frozen meat applications, specified around product shape, liquid, temperature, handling, and the customer’s food-safety requirements.
Meat and protein packaging is a fit-and-handling problem before it is a film problem. Bone, corners, weight, purge, cold storage, case packing, and closure method all affect the bag. M Plastics manufactures custom film, bags, tubing, and liners, including FDA-grade material options, but the finished construction must be qualified for the processor’s product and process.
Since 2005, our family-owned team has approached meat packaging from the production floor backward: what is being packed, where sharp edges occur, how much liquid the package must contain, and what happens through the cold chain. We manufacture the film and convert the bag under one roof, so we can adjust mil thickness, seal construction, size, and print instead of forcing a processor into a stock package that is almost right.
Start with product weight, dimensions, bone or sharp-edge exposure, temperature range, liquid containment, packing method, and required print or traceability. Those details determine the resin, mil thickness, dimensions, seal, and whether a liner or gusset is needed.

View Product →Virgin LDPE and LLDPE options can be reviewed for flexibility, clarity, seal response, and toughness. mil thickness is selected from filled weight, sharp points, bag fit, temperature, and distribution abuse—not from product weight alone.
Manual stations need an opening and size operators can load without excessive stretching. Automated or semi-automated lines require equipment drawings, bag orientation, wicket details where applicable, seal-jaw information, and a production trial.
Test with the actual cut, fill weight, temperature, closure, case pack, and distribution sequence. Food-contact material documentation does not automatically make a bag suitable for vacuum, cook-in, extended frozen storage, or every meat application.
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.
Practical answers from a manufacturer. Final specifications are confirmed for your product, equipment, and use conditions.
Yes. We can recommend heavier-mil thickness LDPE and a bag size that reduces stress around sharp edges. A sample and line trial are the best way to confirm the final construction.
Food applications can be produced with FDA-grade materials under our documented food-safety and quality systems. Tell us the product and process so we can provide the appropriate documentation.
Yes. We print in-house in up to six colors and can include logos, handling language, lot information, and other approved artwork.
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.
Start with product weight, dimensions, bone or sharp-edge exposure, temperature range, liquid containment, packing method, and required print or traceability. Those details determine the resin, mil thickness, dimensions, seal, and whether a liner or gusset is needed.
Send the product, dimensions, filled weight, temperature, packing method, equipment details, closure, print, documentation needs, and expected handling. We will review a manufacturable specification for your meat & protein application.
