What are packaging bags?

Packaging bags cover the entire spectrum of bag solutions for industry, retail, direct sales and private customers. Depending on the application, you choose between resealable ziplock bags, cost-efficient flat bags, standing stand-up pouches (doypacks), classic block bottom bags, voluminous side gusset bags or specialised variants for coffee, tea, spices, food and industrial applications.

Choosing the right packaging solution depends on four main factors: contents (food, workshop, industry), application (consumer sales, shipping, storage), material requirement (food-grade, aroma barrier, freezer-suitable) and brand positioning (premium, standard, eco). At Elke Plastic you will find the right solution for every application in certified quality.

We are one of the largest importers of packaging bags in Germany and carry over 250 different bag variants in standard sizes from stock. Shipping is from our German warehouse with short lead times. For custom printing and bespoke manufacturing, our packaging specialists are happy to advise.
