Did you know that Bartelt Packaging builds machines that can run green films?

Welcome to Bartelt, where sustainability and innovation intersect to create a greener future. As consumer awareness and concern for the environment continue to grow, we understand the need for sustainable packaging solutions that meet both performance and eco-friendly criteria.

We believe that collaboration is key to overcoming challenges and pushing the boundaries of sustainable packaging. That's why we have established partnerships with film suppliers, zipper suppliers, and various consumer industries. Together, we tackle critical aspects such as shelf life, package stability, package opening and filling, machine speed, and temperature sealing optimization. By working hand in hand, we ensure that our packaging solutions meet the highest standards of sustainability while addressing the unique needs of our clients and their products.

Thinking of Switching from Rigid to Flexible? Here are Some Advantages to Switch Over!


  1. Larger Surface Area for Advertising: This application is not only a packaging style, but is the perfect
    marketing tool. Having a larger surface area allows companies to freely advertise their products, compelling customers to purchase their products.
  2. Easy to Store and Transport: Pouches are universally light weight. Making them the perfect application to easily store and transport for both consumers and vendors.
  3. Sustainability: Not only is less plastic used when creating pouches but they may be completely reusable and recycled. If your company has sustainable initiatives, we can help you reach those goals.
  4. Easy to Use: Flexible packaging is usually lightweight and uses less materials making it easier to open. Often times, these packages has easy to open capabilities such as spout and zipper options.
  5. Low Production Cost: Both pouches and bottles are made of plastic, however the small amount of plastic that is put into pouches is less than plastic bottles. Reducing the expenses on raw materials.
