If you’re choosing glassine over a standard virgin poly bag, tell your plastic-free story to your customers with your custom branding. Let them know why you’ve chosen paper over plastic, what this decision means to your brand, and how to dispose of the bag at the end of its useful life. Many consumers may not realize these bags are paper and curbside recyclable.

Our inner packaging bags are designed to protect apparel and other soft goods from the point at which they are produced at a factory to the time they reach the retailer or end consumer. We refer to them as “inner packaging” because they aren’t intended to be used as shipping mailers and instead are for product protection during transport across their supply chain.

Historically, a virgin clear poly bag has been the primary solution for this type of inner packaging. Thankfully, many forward-thinking fashion brands are looking for more circular, value-aligned sustainable packaging.

Because supply chains are unique and complex, we recognize that no one-size-fits-all solution will work for every brand. Some need complete product protection, others need waterproof material, and others need transparency or translucency. As a result, we have developed a full line of more circular options than a standard virgin poly bag. Our Guide to Sustainable Inner Packaging provides an overview of our choices, why and how we’ve developed them, and which to choose for your specific operations.

Yes - With their toothless, smooth finish and translucency, glassine bags are a polished way to provide inner protection to your art pieces. The bags are sized more for apparel than art, so you may need to size up rather than find dimensions that fit your prints to their exact size. Additionally, these bags contain a print on both sides and subtle air vents that allow air to be released when packaged at the factory. These design features are fine for most art companies.

This feature is based on direct feedback from the brands themselves. Many complicated supply chains require that bags be opened so apparel can be checked, scanned, and sorted at distribution centers or 3PL fulfillment centers. The adhesive is strong and does not readily come apart unless someone actively tries to open the bag.

We source our Vela glassine bags from Seaman Paper. Seaman Paper strives to produce Vela bags across the globe in regions closest to the market being served. They currently produce Vela bags in China, Italy, India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and the US. The Vela stock program has been in existence for many years and predated the establishment of US production, so the current US inventory includes product produced both domestically and abroad. Production standards and product specs are fully aligned across the globe to ensure product consistency.

Over time all EcoEnclose Vela glassine bag stock will reflect 100% US manufacture but at present the current inventories could include product produced in other regions.

We carry FSC® certification (FSC-C190100) for our Glassine Bags, which are made with virgin material. By choosing FSC®-certified products, you support responsible management of the world’s forests.

Our glassine bags are FDA-Compliant, meaning the product is compliant with FDA rules and regulations and is created with materials that are FDA-Approved. We recommend ordering case quantities if you plan to use these for direct food contact because our bundles are re-cased in a non-FDA compliant facility.
