Food manufacturers face unique challenges when it comes to packaging. Your products require protection from contamination, moisture, and damage, all while meeting strict food safety standards. At the same time, there is growing demand for environmentally responsible packaging that supports sustainability goals and customer expectations.
Peter Marsh Group has been supplying food manufacturers with high-quality paper sacks for over 150 years. Our paper packaging solutions combine strength, safety, and sustainability to help your business thrive in today’s market.
Why Sustainable Packaging Matters in Food Manufacturing
The food sector is under intense scrutiny from consumers, regulators, and retailers regarding environmental impact. Plastic packaging, although common, contributes significantly to pollution and waste.
Switching to paper sacks offers food manufacturers a way to:
- Reduce plastic waste and pollution
- Lower carbon emissions associated with packaging
- Improve recyclability and biodegradability
- Align with corporate sustainability commitments
By choosing paper, you send a powerful message to your customers that your brand cares about the planet without compromising product safety.
Meeting Food Safety and Quality Requirements
Our paper sacks are designed specifically for the needs of food manufacturers:
- Food-grade certification: Compliant with relevant UK and EU food safety standards
- Moisture barriers: Optional polyethylene liners or coatings protect sensitive ingredients like flour, sugar, and baking mixes
- Strength and durability: Multi-wall paper sacks provide excellent tear and puncture resistance during handling and transport
- Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with your existing filling lines and storage processes
This ensures your products stay fresh, uncontaminated, and secure from factory to customer.
Supporting Your Brand with Custom Packaging
Paper sacks also offer excellent opportunities for branding and communication. Print your logo, product information, nutritional details, and sustainability messages directly on the packaging.
Many of our clients use their paper sacks to promote their environmental commitments, using phrases like “100% recyclable,” “plastic-free packaging,” or “made from renewable materials.” This helps build consumer trust and can influence purchasing decisions.

Moving from plastic to paper packaging is easier than many manufacturers expect. Peter Marsh Group offers a simple process:
- 1. Review your current packaging and product requirements
- 2. Provide free samples for testing on your filling lines
- 3. Design custom printed sacks with your branding and sustainability messages

- Meet retailer requirements for eco-friendly packaging
- Comply with packaging legislation and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) rules
- Reduce waste disposal costs
- Enhance brand reputation and customer loyalty
Switching to paper sacks is a smart investment in your company’s future.
