Packaging is one of those behind-the-scenes factors that rarely makes headlines, yet its influence on operational efficiency, product quality and customer perception is enormous. For businesses handling powdered goods, the right packaging doesn’t just protect the product. It determines how easily materials move through the supply chain, how safely they’re stored and even how efficiently warehouses operate.
That’s why more and more manufacturers are turning to Roll (Block) Bottom Sacks: a premium packaging option that combines strength, stability, and practicality in one solution.
The Case for a Stronger Foundation
One of the defining features of Roll Bottom Sacks is the square, stable base they create once filled. Unlike traditional open-mouth or pillow-style sacks that bulge and topple easily, these sacks sit flat, making them much easier to stack and transport. For warehouse managers and logistics teams, that stability translates directly into space efficiency, safer storage, and fewer damaged goods in transit.
The added advantage is their multi-ply construction, available in two, three, or even four layers of sack kraft paper. This layered strength ensures powders remain securely contained, even under pressure from stacking or long-distance distribution. In industries where durability and reliability are non-negotiable, this makes Roll Bottom Sacks a natural choice.
Designed for Powdered Products
Powdered goods present a unique challenge in packaging. Flour, sugar, starch, cement, and fine chemicals all share the same risks: leakage, contamination, and dust. Traditional sacks often struggle to keep powders sealed tightly, leading to wastage and additional clean-up costs.
Roll Bottom Sacks are specifically engineered to tackle this issue. Their construction ensures secure closure and prevents leakage, while optional features such as strip-seal closures maintain integrity after filling. The result is packaging that is clean, efficient, and dependable – even when handling the finest of powders.
Where They Add the Most Value
So, who benefits most from adopting Roll Bottom Sacks?
- Food & Agriculture: Producers of flour, sugar, milk powder, and starch need packaging that protects product integrity while also supporting efficient storage and handling. The clean, stable design of Roll Bottom Sacks makes them ideal for food-grade products moving in bulk through complex supply chains.
- Construction & Building Materials: Cement, plaster, and dry powders are heavy, abrasive, and often stored for long periods before use. A sack that holds its shape and resists tearing is invaluable here, ensuring products reach the end user intact.
- Industrial & Chemical Sectors: From minerals to specialty powders, these industries require packaging that not only withstands pressure but also allows for accurate identification. With custom block-bottom printing, products can be easily distinguished on pallets or in warehouses, reducing errors and improving logistics.
In all these cases, the true benefit isn’t just that the sack holds product safely, it’s that the packaging contributes to smoother operations, stronger supply chains, and ultimately, happier customers.
Smarter Logistics with Custom Printing
Another overlooked advantage of Roll Bottom Sacks is the option for custom block-bottom printing. When sacks are stacked on pallets, the bottom print becomes a visible marker for easy identification in storage. For busy warehouses handling dozens of product lines, this small detail eliminates guesswork, reduces handling time, and ensures the right goods are shipped every time.
Add in the ability to fully customise branding, colours, and sack design, and packaging moves from being a purely functional container to a powerful marketing asset.
Game Changing Success For Peter Marsh Client
One of Peter Marsh Group’s clients, a mid-sized animal feed manufacturer, was struggling with storage inefficiencies. Their existing sacks collapsed easily, wasting valuable space and increasing the risk of breakages. Pallets had to be repacked regularly, costing the business time and money.
After switching to Roll Bottom Sacks, they reported a 25% improvement in pallet stability and a significant reduction in product losses during transport. Just as importantly, the new sacks, branded with their logo and product information, gave the company’s goods a professional finish that retailers praised.
The Operations Manager said:
“We thought packaging was just about protecting the feed. Peter Marsh showed us that the right sack could improve our entire logistics chain. It’s been a game-changer.”
