Related ranges for other application areas: side gusset sacks and tubular film on a roll.

Ex German warehouse, tiered pricing with no minimum order value – on request with samples, data sheets (EU 10/2011, FSC, GRS) and custom manufacture.

Shipping & terms

Dispatch from our German warehouse. B2B standard sizes are generally available immediately by the pallet; custom special configurations are scheduled accordingly. All customers – B2B and B2C alike – receive tiered pricing; larger quantities with additional volume discounts from a pallet upwards and volume terms from a container upwards. Data sheets and declarations of conformity on request.

What are flat bags for packaging?

Flat bags for packaging address the industrial B2B context, in which bags are used as a packaging medium for semi-finished parts, components, parts or industrial goods – not as end-customer packaging. Typical use cases are component packaging in production, corrosion protection in the warehouse, enclosure in industrial shipping boxes, in-house transport between production stations, or the protective packaging of sensitive components during storage and transport.

Unlike end-customer flat bags, the focus here is on practical properties: consistent film thickness for automated packaging lines, clearly defined tear resistance for heavy goods, antistatic variants for sensitive electronics, corrosion-protection films for metal parts and, above all, constant availability in large quantities from a German warehouse. Anyone who needs 100,000 flat bags a month for their component packaging cannot rely on changing suppliers or supply bottlenecks.

Our range of flat bags for packaging is optimised for B2B applications: standard sizes in all common industrial formats, film thicknesses from 25 to 100 microns, with or without antistatic features, available in pallet quantities with tiered pricing. For automated packaging lines we recommend antistatic-equipped films that prevent the film from clinging to machine parts. On request, special configurations are also available: VCI corrosion protection, ESD-conductive, food-grade or with customer printing.

What are packaging flat bags suitable for?

  • Component packaging in production: corrosion protection, dust/dirt separation
  • In-house transport: between production stations, within the internal warehouse
  • Enclosure in industrial shipping boxes: security bags, daily-label protection
  • Warehouse sorting: small components in drawers or compartments
  • Corrosion protection: metal parts, tools, hardware in the warehouse
  • Electronics industry: antistatic or ESD variants for sensitive components

Which packaging variant is the right one?

  • Standard LDPE 50 microns: component packaging, light corrosion barrier
  • 70 microns: more robust industrial applications, higher weight
  • 90–100 microns: heavy goods, sharp-edged components, premium protection
  • Antistatic variant: machine application without film charging
  • VCI corrosion protection: special coating against metal corrosion
  • ESD-conductive: electronic parts with electrostatically sensitive components
  • With write-on panel: stocktaking, batch, date directly on the bag
  • Pallet quantities with tiered pricing: industry standard for high consumption

Your benefits with packaging flat bags from Elke Plastic

We have been importing industrial packaging bags directly from the manufacturer since 1976. For B2B packaging applications, security of supply is often more important than the film price: a failing component packaging can bring entire production lines to a standstill. Our suppliers and our German warehouse guarantee constant availability of the standard sizes – no supply bottlenecks caused by overseas logistics in an acute situation.

Our packaging specialists advise on special variants: VCI corrosion protection for metal components, ESD conductivity for electronics, food-grade quality for food packaging lines, antistatic films for high-speed packaging machines. That way you do not just get “the standard bag” but the optimum configuration for your specific B2B application.

Dispatch is from our German warehouse. Packaging standard sizes are generally available immediately by the pallet. All customers – B2B and B2C alike – receive tiered pricing, with significant volume discounts from a pallet upwards and volume terms from a container upwards. On request we supply data sheets, declarations of conformity and specifications for your supplier evaluation.

Frequently asked questions about packaging flat bags

What distinguishes packaging from shipping flat bags?

Packaging flat bags address the internal B2B context: component packaging, in-house logistics, warehouse protection. Shipping flat bags are specially optimised for parcel shipping: often with a self-adhesive closure and shipping protection requirements. The film itself can be identical; it is the application context that differs.

What are antistatic flat bags?

Antistatic films are equipped with special additives that prevent the film from becoming charged. This is important for automated packaging machines (so the film does not cling to machine parts) and for sensitive electronic components (no build-up of electrical voltage).

What are VCI films?

VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor – volatile corrosion-protection agents incorporated into the film. Inside the bag, the inhibitor material evaporates in small quantities and lays a protective film onto the metal surfaces. Ideal for tools, screws and precision parts in storage.

Are ESD bags the same as antistatic ones?

No. ESD-conductive films can dissipate electrical charge in a controlled way – important for semiconductors, microchips and sensitive electronics. Antistatic films only prevent charging but do not dissipate any charge. For ESD-sensitive components, genuine ESD films are essential.

What minimum quantity applies for industrial customers?

No minimum quantity for standard stock ex warehouse. For special films (VCI, ESD, with custom printing) there are minimum runs, which depend on film thickness and special features. We advise on specific run sizes.

Which packaging machines are compatible?

Our films are suitable for common automated packaging machines – hot-punching systems, flow-wrap machines and component-packaging robots. For specific machine requirements (film slip, sealing temperature) we will pass on specifications on request.

Can the bags be printed with our logo?

Yes, custom printing in gravure or flexographic printing. For industrial customers with high demand, printing quickly pays off. Special features (warning symbols, safety notices, batch tracking) are easily possible.

How available is the standard stock in pallet quantities?

Our German warehouse carries the common standard sizes in pallet quantities. Under normal demand, the standard stock can be called off within 1–2 working days. For high-frequency industrial customers we are happy to arrange call-off quotas.

Can you certify?

For our standard films we supply declarations of conformity in accordance with EU 10/2011 (food contact), material data sheets and safety data sheets. For ISO 9001 / 14001 audits we are happy to support you with supplier-evaluation documents.

Are sustainable B2B packaging bags available?

Yes. We carry PCR-recycled and mono-material variants in the common industrial standard sizes. For companies with ESG reporting obligations, GRS certificates are available on request.

Can you also ship without delivery to Germany?

Our main market is Germany and Europe. For international consignments, please get in touch – EU-wide delivery is generally straightforward.
