Folmi offers specialized plastic bags for ice packaging, perfect for storing, warehousing, and transporting ice cubes and crushed ice. Our bags are an ideal solution for ice producers, food wholesalers, ice cream parlors, and food service outlets requiring durable, safe, and hygienic packaging that ensures the highest quality and product protection.
Production Options
Material: We make plastic ice bags from materials such as LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate, which provide an excellent moisture barrier and high resistance to low temperatures. The use of regranulate supports an eco-friendly approach to production, minimizing the use of new raw materials.
Bag Dimensions: Bags are available in widths from 50 mm to 2700 mm and lengths from 100 mm to 3500 mm, allowing them to be adapted to a variety of needs – from smaller packages for retail customers to larger bags for distributors.
Bag Thickness: Our ice bags range in thickness from 20 μm to 200 μm, allowing us to tailor the strength to the specific requirements of ice transportation and storage in various conditions. Add-ons
To meet our customers' expectations and ensure complete product safety, we offer various additional options for plastic bags:
UV – UV protection, which allows for longer storage of ice in sunlight, minimizing the risk of melting.
Colors – the ability to use colorants to personalize packaging, which is useful for ice producers who want to distinguish their brand.
Anti-block, slip – prevents bags from sticking together, making them easier to fill and ensuring a smooth ice packaging process.
Anti-slip – an additive that minimizes bag slippage when stacked on pallets, increasing the stability of the entire load.
ESD – antistatic film, which prevents the attraction of dust and other contaminants, which is particularly important for maintaining ice hygiene.
Low-Temperature Elasticizer – a special additive that ensures bag flexibility even at very low temperatures, preventing cracking and damage during storage in freezers.
Flexo Printing – the ability to print a logo, product information, or instructions. Use, allowing for packaging personalization and building brand recognition.
Perforation – perforation allows for improved ventilation, which can be useful when storing ice to prevent cubes from sticking together and facilitate their separation.
Applications
Folmi plastic ice bags are an excellent solution for companies producing and distributing ice. They protect the ice from contamination and moisture from the external environment, ensuring high quality and product safety during both transport and storage. Our bags are durable, hygienic, and resistant to low temperatures, making them ideal for both small retail outlets and large ice dispensers.

Order Fulfillment Process
Order confirmation: Once all the details of the order have been agreed, the customer receives a final quotation for approval. Following its approval, the order is formally accepted for processing.
Print design verification: In the case of an order including a print, the customer receives the final graphic design for approval, which, once approved, is sent for production.
Release for production: Once the order has been confirmed and payment verified, the order details go to the production department, which begins the process of planning and execution.
Production of LDPE plastic: LDPE plastic is produced using an extrusion process. LDPE granulate is heated to a high temperature and passed through an extrusion head to produce a long, thin layer of plastic.
Plastic forming: Plastic may be formed in a number of manners as per the order – it may vary in transparency, coloured, thicknesses to match the customer’s specifications.
Preparation for printing: If the order is for printed bags, the production of plastic is followed by the process of flexographic printing. Matrices (printing forms) are prepared as per the customer-approved design.
Printing on plastic: the LDPE plastic is passed through flexographic machines, which apply the print as per the design. This technique allows designs to be printed quickly and precisely in a range of colours.
Cutting and forming of bags: After printing (or without printing), the LDPE plastic is confectioned, i.e. cut and formed into bags as per the dimensions agreed in the order.
Additional elements: At this stage elements such as handles, perforations may be added, depending on the order specifications.
Product packaging: The finished bags are carefully packed in larger packaging such as cardboard boxes or bulk bags to secure them from damage during transport.
Etykietowanie: Każda partia zamówienia otrzymuje odpowiednie oznaczenia i etykiety, które zawierają informacje o produkcie. Dodatkowo dołączane są dokumenty przewozowe i magazynowe.
Transport set-up: The order is forwarded to a courier company. The customer receives a tracking number and information on the expected delivery time.
Shipment tracking: The customer may track the consignment using a tracking system, which allows them to monitor where their order is at any given time.
Delivery of the order: Goods are delivered to the address indicated by the customer within the specified timeframe.
