Cook Chill Bags

Are you seeking an efficient and sanitary solution for hot filling and safely storing large batches of menu items such as soups, sauces, pastas, ground meats, refried beans, or other high-volume food products that require chilling, refrigeration, or freezing for later use? If so, implementing the Cook Chill process with Plascon’s packaging solutions may be an ideal fit for your operation. Our Cook Chill Bags are purpose-engineered to withstand the rigors of high-temperature filling and rapid chilling, delivering reliable leak resistance and extended shelf life while supporting food safety. We offer a range of bag formats—including angle seal, heat seal, handle, and clipped styles—as well as accessories like impulse sealers, ring stands and storage crates to streamline your workflow. Rely on our Cook Chill expertise to help protect product quality, maintain batch consistency, and enhance labor efficiency across your central kitchen, commissary, or production facility.

Sous Vide Bags

Sous Vide is a French term meaning “Under Vacuum.” This innovative culinary technique involves sealing food in airtight, food-safe bags and submerging them in a precisely controlled water bath or cook tank for extended periods. By cooking food under vacuum at consistent low temperatures, the Sous Vide method ensures even doneness, enhanced moisture and flavor retention, and preservation of nutritional value. This process is especially valuable for chefs and food manufacturers seeking consistent, repeatable results and improved product quality across batches. 

Tea Urn Liners

If you offer fresh-brewed iced tea in your restaurant, convenience store, or dining facility, Plascon provides the ideal solution for sanitation and efficiency: the Saftea® Liner. This patented, single-use disposable liner is specifically designed to fit standard tea urn dispensers, creating a protective barrier that helps prevent cross-contamination and minimizes exposure to potentially harmful bacteria and viruses. By utilizing Saftea® Liners, you not only improve hygiene and protect your customers but also enhance the consistency and overall quality of your beverage offering. The liner preserves the fresh taste of iced tea by eliminating residues and off-flavors that can result from direct contact with urn walls and spigots. In addition to delivering safer, cleaner, and better-tasting tea for your patrons, Saftea® Liners dramatically reduce cleaning and labor time by eliminating the need for time-consuming scrubbing and sanitizing after each service. Independent laboratory testing confirms the effectiveness of this system, making it the preferred choice for foodservice operations seeking to meet high standards for safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Poly Bags

Need FDA-compliant bags for cold fill and short-term storage? Plascon’s customizable Poly Bags are a reliable, cost-effective choice for packaging fresh produce, bakery items, and perishable goods. Available in multiple thicknesses and sizes, they offer food-safe protection. 

Box Liners

Plascon manufactures custom Box Liners engineered to fit corrugated boxes, crates, and cartons, delivering reliable barrier protection for a wide range of packaging needs in food processing, agriculture, and industrial applications. Our liners are made from high-performance polyethylene films and are designed to help prevent leaks, contamination, and moisture intrusion—extending product shelf life and maintaining integrity during storage and transportation. Available in both clear and a variety of film colors, Plascon Box Liners can be tailored in size and mil thickness to match your requirements. 

Blown Film

If your operation requires high-quality film for onsite conversion or manufacturing, Plascon delivers blown film in a full spectrum of sizes, thicknesses, and colors to suit your exact packaging specifications. From start-ups to established enterprises, restaurants, food processors, and diverse venues, Plascon provides food-safe packaging solutions designed to meet the scale and demands of any business.
