CLEAR GLOSS
Custom printed flexible pouches with plant-based material options, reliable barrier protection and packaging formats for organic food, snacks, coffee and wellness products.
Compostable packaging is the best choice for the organic food industry to achieve sustainability and reduce its carbon footprint. Biodegradable pouches for vegan food are made of plant based material corn starch, which is a safe and renewable material for food. The low carbon footprint bag isn't only great for the environment, but it is something that can set you apart from the competition as well.
These sustainable packaging bags naturally have a lower carbon footprint than fossil fuel alternatives, but most materials and manufacturing processes still have a carbon footprint. Our proprietary impact calculator gives us an unmatched ability to model and understand and offset this carbon footprint.
BioPack manufactures custom biodegradable bags and flexible food packaging for brands looking for alternatives to conventional fossil-based flexible plastics.
Depending on the product, packaging format and target market, biodegradable packaging can be developed using selected plant-based or renewable material structures, including PLA-based films, cellulose films and kraft paper combinations.
Our biodegradable packaging options can be customized as stand-up pouches, flat-bottom bags, side-gusset bags, flat pouches and rollstock, with optional resealable zippers, clear windows, tear notches, valves and custom printing.

Biodegradable bags are packaging bags made from materials that are designed to break down through biological activity under suitable environmental conditions.
However, biodegradable and compostable do not mean exactly the same thing.
"Biodegradable" is a broad term. The rate and conditions of biodegradation depend on the material, temperature, moisture, microorganisms and disposal environment.
"Compostable" packaging, by comparison, is designed to break down under defined composting conditions and may be tested against specific compostability standards.
For commercial packaging projects, buyers should therefore evaluate:
the exact material structure
intended disposal route
applicable certification
food-contact requirements
barrier performance
required shelf life
instead of relying only on the word "biodegradable."
If your project specifically requires certified home-compostable or industrial-compostable packaging, BioPack can also provide dedicated compostable material options.

Biodegradable Packaging
Biodegradable packaging is designed to break down through biological processes under suitable conditions.
However, biodegradation time and environmental conditions can vary significantly between materials.
Compostable Packaging
Compostable packaging is a more specific category.
It is designed to biodegrade under defined composting conditions while meeting applicable requirements for disintegration and compost quality.
Depending on the project and target market, relevant standards may include standards such as:
EN 13432
ASTM D6400
home-compostability certification systems
If certified compostability is required for your project, ask BioPack for certification documentation applicable to the exact packaging structure quoted.
Sustainable packaging should not be selected only according to terminology.
Different disposal systems and product requirements may favour different solutions.
Biodegradable Packaging
Suitable when a brand is exploring selected materials designed for biological degradation.
Certified Compostable Packaging
Suitable where compostability is a specific requirement and the appropriate collection and composting route is available.
Recyclable Packaging
Mono-material recyclable structures can be a strong option for brands operating in markets with established flexible-plastic recycling systems.
BioPack can compare these options based on your product, shelf life, destination market and sustainability strategy.
Are biodegradable bags the same as compostable bags?
No.
Biodegradable is a broad term describing materials that can break down biologically under suitable conditions.
Compostable packaging is designed to break down under defined composting conditions and may be certified against specific standards.
If a compostability claim is important for your project, confirm the certification applicable to the complete pouch structure.
Are biodegradable bags suitable for food packaging?
Selected biodegradable flexible packaging structures can be suitable for coffee, snacks, granola, nuts, dried foods, tea, powdered products and other food applications.
The material should be selected according to the required barrier and shelf life.
Can biodegradable bags be custom printed?
Yes.
BioPack provides custom printed biodegradable bags using digital, gravure or flexographic printing depending on material, quantity and artwork.
Can biodegradable bags have a zipper?
Yes.
Selected biodegradable packaging structures can include resealable zipper options.
The zipper material should be evaluated together with the complete pouch if a specific compostability or biodegradability claim is required.
Can biodegradable packaging provide a high barrier?
Selected structures can provide useful oxygen and moisture barrier performance.
However, barrier performance varies by material and laminate structure.
For sensitive foods, the final structure should be tested against the required shelf life.
Can biodegradable bags be used for coffee?
Yes, selected biodegradable or compostable packaging structures can be considered for coffee.
For roasted coffee, oxygen barrier, aroma protection and degassing requirements should be carefully evaluated.
One-way valve options are available for selected projects.
What materials are used for biodegradable packaging?
Material options may include PLA-based films, cellulose-based films, kraft paper combinations and selected bio-based structures.
The final material should be selected according to the product, shelf life, filling method and sustainability requirement.
