What Are Meat Bags? 

Meat bags are food-grade plastic bags used by butchers, fishmongers and food retailers to pack fresh meat and fish for customers. Made from high density polyethylene (HDPE), they're strong, tear-resistant and waterproof, keeping produce protected from contamination during handling, storage and transport.

Our high density meat bags are supplied in an 8 x 10 inch size, a practical fit for everyday counter sales and portioned cuts. Their durable construction holds up well against sharp edges and moisture, making them a reliable finishing step after meat has been trayed and wrapped.
