What is bottom seal packaging?
Bottom seal packaging is a polyethylene tube sealed at the bottom so it can be filled from the top. It is primarily used for master bags in fresh produce and a range of general-purpose and heavy-duty packaging applications.
Its straightforward construction makes it a reliable, cost-effective solution for high-volume or industrial use cases where durability and capacity matter more than shelf presentation. Common applications include horticulture, construction, and similar industries where heavy gauge packaging is required. Farnell bottom seal packaging is developed as part of our Full Picture Packaging approach, which ensures every solution balances performance with your specific product and process requirements.

Bottom seal bags are available in heavy gauge polyethylene, making them well suited to industrial and heavy-duty applications where standard packaging films would not provide sufficient strength or protection.
Simple, reliable format
The bottom-sealed, top-filled format is straightforward to use in both manual and automated filling operations. Its open-top design makes it easy to load bulk or irregularly shaped products quickly.

Farnell bottom seal packaging is customized to your product dimensions and application requirements. Size, gauge, and material can all be configured to match your specific needs.
Applications
Farnell bottom seal packaging is used primarily in fresh produce as a master bag format, as well as in horticulture, construction, and other general-purpose or industrial packaging applications.
