Style and Material
Cellophane is the simple name give to cellulose film, lined with PP. The
Cellophane Film is made from wood pulp and cotton fibres (yes, cotton fibres!). They are made
from renewable & natural resources and will biodegrade making
Cellophane Bags a great eco-friendly option. All our cello bags are manufactured in the UK and undergo
strenuous quality control checks, making sure that they meet all European Standards.
We use three different thickness of Cellophane film to make our bags, 25 microns
/ 100 Gauge, 30 microns / 120 Gauge and 40 microns / 160 Gauge.
Use of Bags
Cellophane Bags are ideal
for small companies or those who are packing products in low volumes. The bags that
we supply are made using folded bottom seal and side gussets, and can be custom
printed subject to a minimum order. If you require a size not shown we are able
to custom make the bags, to your specification, subject to a minimum order.
Cellophane can also be used as a base film in laminates as it has very high clarity.
It can often be used to replace polypropylene films for packaging spices or scented
products, where certain organic chemicals may react with oil base films such as
poly propylene.
As
Cellophane Bags
are coated with PVDC, that have excellent barrier properties are food safe they
are most commonly used in wrapping food stuffs, from biscuits, to chocolates to
coffee. They are also commonly used for things like candles, teddy bears and other
trinkets that you want to make pretty and tie with a bow!
It also has excellent dead-fold characteristics, which means that no matter how
you twist and shape it, it will maintain its shape, making it great for use as twist
wrap in the confectionery industry.
The reason cello bags stand out from other poly bags is what you’d describe as their
“crispy” texture compare to plastic bags. Also, as a result of the material they
are made from, they are crystal clear and sparkle in the light, making cello bags
ideal if you want to show off your products inside.
