Food grade display bags are high quality, high clarity polypropylene display bags used by food manufacturers and retailers to package their food. They help keep food fresh and protected from human contact, dust and other contaminants, plus they make the food look great. Examples of food grade bags are candy sweet bags, popular with confectioners to make their sweets look pretty, and film front bags, popular by bakers for displaying doughnuts, cakes and pastries.

Display bags

Food grade bags are just one particular type of display bag. Also known as retail bags, display bags are made from polypropylene - a clear film similar in appearance to cellophane but, although less well known, one that it is superior to cellophane in many ways.

Polypropylene vs cellophane

Polypropylene is a plastic-based material, which gives it a higher clarity than cellophane, a paper-based material. This means that products covered in polypropylene look crystal clear, making them even more enticing.

Despite the better display quality, polypropylene is also significantly cheaper than than cellophane, which means that not only can you display your products in a more shiny, sparkly coating, but you can also display more of them in this coating than you could with cellophane as an alternative.

Polypropylene is also stronger than cellophane, meaning it makes better quality, longer-lasting display bags. Cellophane creases more easily than polypropylene, which is not ideal for a material that you are using to show off your products in the best possible light.

Cellophane is often considered to be better for the environment than polypropylene, although this is not necessarily the case. See the section ‘How eco-friendly is cellophane?’ for further info.

When all day work or relationship stress puts you in a leading funk, the last thing you may want to do is spend an hour in front of the stove cooking a healthy meal. It can be tempting to peel open the lid on a can of soup and have dinner prepared in seconds. But canned soups are filled with preservatives and sodium, which will only make you feel more sluggish and dash down. Even more alarming: a chemical called Bisphenol A, which is present in plenty canned food liners, can trigger imbalances in your brain that lead to more stress.

How eco-friendly is cellophane?

Many people believe that cellophane is a more eco-friendly product than polypropylene and, on face value, this conclusion is not an unreasonable one to make.

Cellophane is a paper-based material and it is 100% biodegradable, which suggests that it can only be good for the environment and certainly better than a product which is plastic-based and not therefore not biodegradable.

However, cellophane is not as eco-friendly as it is often believed. The reason for this lies in the process made to make cellophane and the polluting effects of this process.

Cellophane is produced by taking cellulose - a chain of linked sugar molecules - from a natural source such as wood or cotton and dissolving it in alkali and carbon disulfide to make a solution called viscose, which is then reconverted into cellulose and processed in more chemical baths to produce the shiny finished product.

Carbon disulfide

It is the polluting effects of carbon disulfide and other by-products of the process used to make viscose that mean cellophane, although 100% biodegradable, is not 100% eco-friendly.

Although only very high concentrations might harm the environment in the vicinity of its release, carbon disulfide can be involved in the formation of ground level ozone which can cause damage to crops and materials.

Carbon disulphide is also potentially damaging to humans if inhaled, ingested or touched via contaminated objects. It can lead to a range of symptoms from chest pains to liver damage and can affect fertility in both men and women. Inhalation of high levels of carbon disulphide and prolonged exposure can result in damage to the heart or central nervous system and in extreme cases death. However, exposure at regular background levels is unlikely to have any adverse effect on human health (Source: Scottish Environment Protection Agency).
