Clear packaging just got a little more sustainable.

We’re excited to introduce our new Recycled Crystal Clear Bags, made with 70% post-consumer recycled (PCR) BOPP. These recycled clear bags provide the crystal-clear product visibility you love while incorporating plastic that has already been used and recycled.

Available in 24 size and closure variations, our new PCR bags make it easy to find a recycled packaging option that fits your product and your packaging process. You’ll also find “Made from 70% Post Consumer Recycled Content” printed in small text along the bottom of each bag.

Choose Your Closure

One of the best parts of the new PCR bag line is the variety of closure options. Choose the style that makes the most sense for your product and packing process.

No Flap

Simple. Streamlined. Nothing in the way. The No Flap option has no adhesive flap, giving you a completely open top for easy product insertion. Add a header card for retail display or use a heat seal for a secure closure.

It’s a great choice when you want maximum flexibility without an adhesive flap getting in the way.

Flap Seal

A classic fold-over closure with a little flexibility. The Flap Seal option features an adhesive strip on the flap, allowing you to fold the bag over and create an adjustable seal.

The Flap Seal closure (like BR7108S shown above) is one of our most popular closure types. Now available in a Recycled option!

It’s an easy, familiar format for packaging products that need a simple closure and polished presentation.

Protective Closure

Easy in. Easy out. With the Protective Closure option, the adhesive closure is located on the bag rather than the flap. That means you can gently insert and remove products without having to work around the adhesive strip.

The Protective Closure (like BR775PC shown above) are perfect for photographs and artwork. The adhesive on the bag allows you to easily insert and remove items without damage.

It’s a particularly handy option for products that customers may want to take out and put back into the packaging.

Why Choose PCR Packaging?

Post-consumer recycled (PCR) material gives plastic that has already been used a chance to become something new.

Instead of relying entirely on virgin plastic, PCR packaging incorporates recycled material collected after consumer use. It’s one way businesses can consider recycled content when evaluating their packaging materials.

If you’re looking for ways to incorporate more recycled content into your packaging, PCR bags can be a practical place to start.
