Packaging for Food Producers & Manufacturers

Press seal bags, vacuum bags, cellophane bags, paper bags and courier satchels: commercial packaging for Australian food producers, artisan makers and food manufacturers, with same-day dispatch.

Why food producers and manufacturers choose QIS Packaging

Food producers and manufacturers need packaging that works at two levels: retail-facing packaging that presents your product professionally to the end consumer, and dispatch packaging that gets your products to retailers, wholesale buyers and DTC customers safely and efficiently.

Whether you're an artisan coffee roaster, a sauce and condiment producer, a dry goods manufacturer or a large-scale food processor, QIS Packaging supplies the everyday commercial essentials:

  • Press seal bags (light gauge): food-grade zip-lock bags for spices, coffee, tea, nuts, seeds, confectionery and snack portions
  • Press seal bags (heavy gauge): thicker, more durable bags for heavier or sharper food products and premium retail presentation
  • Vacuum sealer bags: for extended shelf life, sous vide food preparation and commercial food preservation
  • Cellophane bags: for retail display of confectionery, dried goods, artisan snacks and hamper products
  • Paper food bags: for bakery, dried pasta, coffee and other food products requiring a paper outer
  • Courier satchels: tamper-evident dispatch bags for direct-to-consumer food delivery and wholesale fulfilment

Branded packaging for food producers & manufacturers

Your packaging is your brand's first impression on the shelf. Make it count.

Stand out on the shelf with branded packaging

For food producers selling through retailers, farmers markets or direct to consumers, branded carry bags and flat bags are an affordable way to build recognition and look professional. When a customer walks away from your market stall or receives their online order with a printed bag, they're more likely to remember your brand and buy again. QIS Packaging offers custom printing in 1โ€“2 colours on white and kraft paper bags. Contact our team for minimum quantities and pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from Australian food producers, artisan makers and food manufacturers.

What packaging do food producers and manufacturers typically need?
Food producers typically need packaging across two stages: retail-facing packaging that presents the product to the end consumer (press seal bags, cellophane bags, paper food bags), and dispatch packaging for shipping finished products to retailers or DTC customers (courier satchels, carry bags). The right choice depends on the product type, moisture requirements and whether it's sold wholesale or direct.
Are press seal bags food-safe for packaging food products?
Yes. Our press seal bags are food-grade and suitable for a wide range of dry food products including nuts, seeds, trail mix, coffee, tea, spices, protein powder, rice, pasta, confectionery and baked goods. They are not suitable for liquids, high-moisture products, or products requiring a gas-flush or modified atmosphere packaging environment.
What is the difference between light gauge and heavy gauge press seal bags?
Thickness (measured in microns) determines durability and feel. 50um and under bags are lighter and suited to spices, coffee, confectionery and small portions. Over 50um bags are heavier-duty, better for products with sharp edges (nuts in shell, dried pasta), heavier contents, or products that will be handled multiple times before opening. Heavier bags also convey a more premium feel for retail shelf packaging.
Can I get custom branded packaging for my food production business?
Yes. QIS Packaging offers custom printed paper carry bags and flat paper bags with your food brand logo in 1โ€“2 colours. For producers selling through retailers, markets or DTC channels, branded bags build recognition and signal professionalism to buyers. Contact our team for minimum quantities and a print quote.
What packaging is best for shipping food products directly to customers?
For direct-to-consumer food shipping, courier satchels are the most common outer packaging: tamper-evident, waterproof and clearly branded for the unboxing experience. Inside, products sit in their primary retail packaging (press seal bags, cellophane). For small-batch artisan producers dispatching small orders, sturdy paper food bags or carry bags are a cost-effective alternative to full poly satchels.
How quickly will bulk packaging orders arrive for my food production business?
Orders placed before 12pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day from our Brisbane warehouse. Metro areas typically receive delivery within 1โ€“3 business days; regional and rural areas 3โ€“7 business days. We deliver Australia-wide. For large commercial orders or ongoing supply agreements, contact our team to discuss scheduled delivery and volume pricing.
