Fairview Mills understands that it is often less expensive to store and transport pet food or pet food ingredients in bags as opposed to loose, bulk products. Fairview Mills can transload and bag your loose bulk pet food ingredients. It's much easier to move your products from raw material to ready-to-use pet foods. For example, you can send your whole corn to us and we will unload, mill, and package it as you require. The raw corn can now be used for the next step of the pet food processing process.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
If you plan to pack your pet food ingredients into bags and totes you need to make sure they are quality-controlled. Each pet food ingredient is tested for moisture, nutrient loss, and other metrics in our analytical lab. We then sift through your ingredients vigorously to remove as much dust and chaff as possible. This helps improve the quality your pet food ingredients. Additionally, it ensures that a fifty-pound bag of pet food is full of your product and not with chaff. Being able to trust that the fifty-pound bag containing corn gluten is full of corn gluten will allow you to better track your inventory.
TYPES OF BAGS AVAILABLE FOR PET FOOD INGREDIENT PACKAGING
Fairview Mills wants to solve every problem pet food ingredient suppliers may have. We offer small and large-quantity bags, as well as paper and poly bags. Additionally, we have multiple sealing options. Each bag is different and should be considered carefully. Fairview Mills offers a wide range of contract packaging options.
25 Kilogram Bag - Our Smallest Size For Pet Food Ingredient Packaging
The twenty-five kg bag is our smallest bag for pet food ingredient packaging. Fairview Mills pet food packaging is a division J-Six Enterprises. It is not intended to be finished product packaging but for ease of transportation. Our super sacks and bags are preferred by many clients because they have larger capacities. Fairview Mills will still find solutions for each customer. Therefore, we can handle smaller quantities of your contract packaging. These bags are available with a wide range of construction materials and sealing techniques. Multi-wall paper bags can be sealed using sewing or pinching. They are an eco-friendly option. Many polyethylene and polypropylene bags can be purchased with heat or sewn sealing.
50 Pound Bag - Perfect For Pallets
Clients who need stackable, manageable bags that can be used individually or in stacks of 50 pound bags will love the fifty pound bags. These bags come in a range of different construction materials and sealing methods. Multiwall paper bags, which can be sewn or pinched to seal them, are an eco-friendly choice. You can choose from a variety of polyethylene bags or polypropylene bag styles, which can either be heat-sealed or sewn. Our 50-pound bags serve as ingredient packaging, but not product packaging. It is easy to transport and store pet food ingredients.
1000 Pound Tote-Poly Lined
Totes that can store large amounts of pet food or pet food ingredients are helpful when handling them. These totes can hold up to 1,000 lbs of bulk pet food ingredients and are great for transporting them. These sturdy totes are made of poly-lined material for durability and strength. The exterior fabric's weave will not allow for even the smallest of pet food ingredients to be lost due to the poly lining. These large capacity bags are meant for easy transport and storage, not for final product packaging. Before we fill these large bags of one thousand pounds with your quality products, our sifting process will run your pet foods ingredients through.
2000 Pound Super Sack- Our Largest Size To Store Pet Food Ingredient Bulk Stock
Super sacks are a popular option for contract packaging. Super sacks have the ability to hold over a ton (or more) of pet food, as well as pet ingredients. These bags are durable and tough. These super sacks can either be stored or transported on their own. Due to their box corner design, super bags can even be stacked together! Your pet food ingredients are run through our sifting device before these large, two-thousand pound bags are filled with your quality products. These large-capacity totes can be used for transport and storage purposes only.
