Everyone loves the smell of freshly baked bread or the crunch of a perfectly crisp loaf. These qualities are why people buy fresh so they’ll want this to still be present when they purchase from a bakery. Packaging plays an essential role in delivering baked goods to customers in perfect condition.
Amerplast has years of experience making top-quality bakery packaging for baked goods. Now, we are one of the largest bread bag converters in Europe.
We are a full-range bakery packaging supplier offering films, laminates and ready-made bags. Bakeries choose our packaging thanks to our high-quality films, excellent printing quality and special features like campaign codes and reclosable solutions. All our products are manufactured in a factory that is certified to the BRC Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials.
Our bakery packaging customers include leading bakeries in Scandinavia and Central Europe. We customize most products to customers’ needs, but we also have standard sizes available for fast delivery.
Market trends
- Every day, the market is demanding more customised products and the product life cycles are getting shorter. Trends and markets are changing faster, leading to quicker product launches and increased pressure on the supply chain. We suggest that customers see the product and its packaging as a partnership.
- According to the European Union plastics strategy, all plastic packaging should be recyclable or reusable by 2030. Even before then, there is pressure for packaging to be more recyclable. In Europe, recycling targets are increasing from 22.5% to 50% by 2025. More efficient Extended Producer Responsibility Schemes are also being put in place.
- Sustainability is one of today’s key trends and future requirements. Sustainable flexible packaging solutions are now focusing on recyclability and using recycled or renewable bio-based materials.
- Food is one of the biggest accelerators of climate change and the packaging industry offers many solutions for reducing food waste. People are looking for longer sell by dates, suitable packaging sizes and reclosable solutions that will keep food fresher for longer.
- Consumers want healthy products with lots of protein and fibre, in eco-friendly packaging that looks good.
Bread bags
Our polypropylene and polyethylene bags are thin-wall products, offering excellent mechanical strength and performance in the freezer. The crystal clear transparency and good quality printing make products look their best. Our bread bags can withstand high temperatures, making sterilization easy and eliminating the need for extra preservatives. Micro-perforation also allows goods to be packed hot, ensuring a crispy crust.
All our bags are suitable for manual, semi-automatic, and automatic packaging lines. Manufactured specifically for different packaging machines, they help you enhance the overall cost-effectiveness of your bakery packaging process.

Laminated Bakery Packaging
Laminated films are preferable when choosing packaging for frozen or pre-baked goods. We combine thin materials with high-quality printing, providing attractive surfaces and excellent protection against chemical damage, and wear and tear.
Amerplast is an expert in lamination. We make multi-layer laminated films for different products without using solvents, using high-quality adhesives in the process.
Our product development know-how covers the entire lamination process. We can process a wide range of materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, EVOH, PET or paper.
Laminated films not only offer our customers the required protection for products, but also attractive visuals with different textures and visual effects. For example, our matt and paper laminates give an earthy feel to your bakery packaging. Or, you can create a totally different feel with metallic effects. Whatever the desired image for your product and brand, we can provide you with the solutions.
Amerplast’s focus in the development of laminates is exclusively on recyclable solutions. The future of plastic packaging is in recyclability, enabling the transition to the circular economy of plastics. Sustainability is at the core of Amerplast’s operations and strategy, and our ambition is to be at the forefront of developing the most sustainable flexible packaging solutions. Recyclability is the key when we strive to make the transition towards a circular economy and an efficient recycling of plastic packaging.
Sustainable Flexible Packaging
Sustainability is and will remain a key requirement for flexible packaging. At Amerplast, we are relentlessly promoting the use of green packaging solutions simply because we think it is our responsibility as a packaging supplier to constantly search for and bring forward the most environmentally friendly alternatives in materials and technologies for producing high quality packaging solutions.
The AmerGreen sustainability program is our quest for a better world. As part of the program, we offer sustainable raw materials and ensured recyclability.
