Product Overview
Your product and your brand protected from day one.
Food and pharmaceutical packaging decisions are about more than price. They are about trust, compliance, and protecting your supply chain. Every bag we supply for food or pharmaceutical use is manufactured in BRCGS- and AIB-certified facilities operating under GMP, HACCP, and ISO 9001 standards.
Our manufacturing facilities use only FDA-approved lubricants on looms, sewing machines, and all related equipment. Every finished bag is ultrasonic cut, externally stitched with twisted PP yarn, vacuum-cleaned, and metal-detected before it is packed for shipment.
Used across flour, sugar, whey protein, rice, and pharmaceutical ingredients, our food-grade bags are built to hold up to the strictest audit requirements your customers can bring.
Manufacturing Standards
Eight steps before every bag ships.
Contamination control is built into the process at every stage, not added at the end.
100% Virgin Raw Materials
No recycled content. Every bag starts with 100% virgin polypropylene, ensuring consistent strength and eliminating contamination from reprocessed materials.
Metal Detection
Every finished bag passes through a metal detector before packing. Any bag that fails is removed from the production run without exception.
Ultrasonic Cutting
All fabric is ultrasonically cut rather than blade-cut. This seals the fabric edge at the cut, eliminating loose fibres that could contaminate the product inside.
Light Table Inspection
Every bag is inspected over a light table before it leaves the clean room. Holes, thin spots, and weave irregularities that are invisible under normal lighting are identified and rejected.
Vacuum and Air Cleaning
Each bag is vacuum and air-cleaned to remove any dust, fibres, or particulates before final packing. This step is performed in the clean room environment.
HACCP Compliance
Our manufacturing partners operate under certified HACCP plans with documented critical control points at every stage of production, from raw material intake to final packed bag.
Global Food Safety Initiative
Why GFSI certification matters for your supply chain.
The Global Food Safety Initiative is a non-profit organization that sets the benchmark standard for food safety certification worldwide. It does not issue its own certifications. Instead, it recognizes third-party schemes that meet its requirements.
When your customer requires a GFSI-recognized certification, they are asking whether your packaging supplier has been audited against a rigorous, internationally accepted food safety standard. The answer, for InterBULK, is yes.
